Installing the autoloader 20
NOTE: The host bus adapter should be LVDS. A SE SCSI host bus adapter will work, but will
severely degrade performance. If there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI
bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance. Never attach the Ultrium
960 Tape Autoloader to a SE SCSI bus.
Figure 8 Attaching the SCSI and power cables
NOTE: If the supplied SCSI cable does not fit the connector on your SCSI host adapter, you either
have an incompatible SCSI host adapter or you need to purchase a cable adapter or a different
cable. Contact your service representative or your SCSI host adapter manufacturer for information.
4. Attach the terminator to the remaining SCSI connector on the rear panel of the autoloader (if the
autoloader is the last or only device on the SCSI bus). Otherwise, attach the cable to the next
device on the SCSI bus. Make sure that the last device on the SCSI bus is properly terminated.
5. Attach the power cable to the power connector on the rear panel of the autoloader.
6. Plug the power cable into the nearest properly grounded power outlet.
CAUTION: To disconnect all power from the autoloader, remove the power cord from the outlet.
The power switch only puts the power on stand-by.
7. Plug in the host server or workstation and all attached devices.
8. Turn on the autoloader by setting the power switch on the front panel to the ON position. You
will need to use the tip of a pen or similar item to move the switch to the desired position. Check
the LCD display to make sure the autoloader is receiving power. If it is not, check the power
connections and your power source.
During the Power-On Self Test (POST), all four LEDs are illuminated briefly, followed by a flashing
Ready/Activity LED. When the initialization sequence is complete, the LCD displays the Home
screen.
9. Turn on any other devices you turned off earlier.
10. Turn on the server.
