NSTALLATION

b. b.
b. Set SCSI termination (term) power, if necessary.
You can use the auxiliary connector to enable the terminator power
signal. (The tape drive is shipped from the factory with termination
power disabled.) To enable termination power, place a jumper across the
far right pins on the auxiliary connector, as shown in Figure 2-3 . Make
sure the jumper is firmly in place. Use a 2 mm jumper.
Note: To protect the tape drive components if term power is shorted, the
tape drive includes a self-resetting power fuse.
4. 4. 4. 4. Provide additional grounding, if desired.
Attaching the tape drive to the enclosure protects the tape drive from ESD.
However, if you want additional chassis grounding for the tape drive, use
the grounding hole or grounding tab on the back panel (see Figure 2-1 ):

5. 5. 5. 5. Connect the SCSI cable.
Connect one of the enclosure’s internal SCSI cables to the SCSI connector
on the back of the tape drive (see Figure 2-4 ). This cable must meet the
guidelines in “SCSI Cable Requirements,” beginning on page 47 .
Note: If desired, you can mount the tape drive (see page 16 ) before you
connect the SCSI cable and the power cable to the back. However, if
the cables are difficult to access in the enclosure, you should extend
the cables out through the drive bay and connect them before
mounting the tape drive
.

Caution
Do not use a screw other than the type specified for attaching the grounding wire,
or you may damage the internal components.
