• Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when
handling internal components.
• Make sure that the host server has an open expansion slot.
• Make sure your backup application supports the SCSI host
adapter.
• Depending on the server configuration, you may need to
change the SCSI ID of the ValueLoader. See
Changing the SCSI
ID
on page 40 for more information.
• Ensure the ValueLoader is properly terminated. If the
ValueLoader is the only SCSI device (other than the SCSI host
adapter) on the SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if
the ValueLoader is physically the last SCSI device on the SCSI
bus, it must be terminated. Only the devices physically at the
beginning and end of the SCSI bus should be terminated.
• Verify the connection between the ValueLoader and host by
making sure the host server’s operating system recognizes the
ValueLoader. To do this:
• For Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
, select
Settings > Control
Panel > SCSI Adapter
• For Windows
®
2000, select
Settings > Control Panel >
System > Hardware > Device Manager > Tape Drive
(and/or
Media Changer
)
For more information on verifying the connection of SCSI
devices, consult the operating system documentation.
