Symptom Problem
Solution
The host server or
workstation does not
recognize your DLT-VS80.
The drive’s SCSI ID might
not be unique.
1. Change the drive’s SCSI ID.
Shut down and turn off the host
server or workstation; turn off the
desktop drive. Change the drive’s
SCSI ID. Turn on the host server or
workstation and desktop drive.
Refer to pages 2-4 and 2-9 for
information on selecting the proper
SCSI ID.
2. Ensure that all devices on the
SCSI bus are SE or LVD.
The SCSI host adapter
might be incorrectly
configured.
Check the SCSI host adapter
configuration. Refer to the SCSI
host adapter manuals for
instructions.
The SCSI cable might be
loose.
Check both ends of the SCSI
cable, both for the desktop and
internal drives.
The SCSI terminator might
be loose or missing.
1. Make sure the terminator is
properly seated on the open SCSI
connector on the rear panel of the
desktop drive or on the last device
on the SCSI bus.
2. Make sure an LVD/SE terminator
is in place on the end of the SCSI
ribbon cable for the internal drive.
The SCSI bus might be
improperly terminated.
1. If your DLT-VS80 is the last or
only device on the SCSI bus, make
sure the drive is properly
terminated.
2. If your DLT-VS80 is not the last
or only device on the SCSI bus,
check all SCSI cable connections
and make sure the last device on
each end of the SCSI bus is
terminated. The SCSI host adapter
must usually be terminated.
The host server or
workstation does not
recognize your DLT-VS80.
The SCSI terminator might
not be at the end of the
SCSI bus or more than two
terminators might be
present on the SCSI bus.
Make sure the terminators are
placed only at each end of the
SCSI bus – one at the host adapter
and one on the last device on the
bus, both internal and external.
