2.3 TLZ07 Installation Preparation
TLZ07 tape drives require that bus node ID jumpers or DIP switches be set on
the drive before the ISE is installed in a BA400-series enclosure. The TLZ07
tape drive has both jumpers and DIP switches that can be used to set the bus
node ID, but only one or the other must be used.
When installing a TLZ07 tape drive, refer to the reference booklet or data sheet
that is shipped with the drive to set the proper bus node ID (SCSI ID) jumpers
or DIP switches. Also ensure that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE
jumpers are removed and that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE DIP
switches are set to 0. Failure to remove the TERM ENABLE jumper or set the
TERM ENABLE DIP switch to 0 (termination disabled) will cause improper
operation of the drive.
Note
If the DIP switches are used to set the bus node ID, ensure that all of
the bus node ID jumpers are removed. If the jumpers are used to set
the bus node ID, ensure that all of the bus node ID DIP switches are
set to 0.
In VAX 4000 systems, the SCSI termination and TERM PWR are provided by
the controller module on one end of the bus and termination for the other end
of the bus is provided by an external terminator.
Note
Refer to Section 1.4.4 for bus node ID configuration guidelines.
