should be terminated. Refer to the manuals supplied with the
other devices on the SCSI bus for termination on enabling or
disabling termination on those devices.
To terminate the ValueLoader, locate the terminator in the
accessories package and press it firmly into the either of the
two SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the ValueLoader.
Secure the terminator by tightening the finger-screws until
snug. The supplied terminator is “dual mode” and will work
on both Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single Ended (SE)
SCSI buses. A green LED on the terminator indicates that the
unit is attached to a SCSI bus running in LVD mode. A red
LED on the terminator indicates that the unit is attached to a
SCSI bus running in SE mode. If the LED is not on, check all
SCSI and power connections and confirm that the unit is
attached to a valid SCSI bus.

Compatibility:
Ensure that the ValueLoader is compatible with
the SCSI host adapter and backup application you plan to use.
For a list of compatible SCSI adapters and application software,
check with your SCSI host adapter manufacturer, backup
application vendor, or the support web site.
•
SCSI Host Adapter Installation:
Verify that you have installed
your SCSI host adapter correctly. Refer to the manual that
came with your SCSI host adapter for installation and
troubleshooting instructions. Pay particular attention to any
steps describing the settings of various jumpers and/or
switches on the host adapter, or on newer adapters, the setup
application for the adapter. Make sure that the host adapter is
properly seated in the motherboard slot and the operating
system correctly detects the host adapter. Make sure that the
proper device driver is installed for the SCSI host adapter.
•
Backup Application Installation:
Refer to the documentation
included with your backup application for instructions on how
to verify proper installation. Most backup software packages
require an additional module to communicate with the
ValueLoader robotics.
