2.3.4 Connecting the Cables
This is the final installation stage, which requires only that you attach the SCSI and power
cables to your DLT1 Desktop Drive.
Note:
If the selected server or workstation does not already have an installed SCSI host
adapter, install one now.
To connect the SCSI and power cables to your DLT1 Desktop Drive, follow these steps:
1. Before you continue, shut down the operating system and turn off the selected server or
workstation. Turn off all attached accessory devices, such as printers and other SCSI
devices. Remove the power cable from the host server or workstation and all attached
accessory devices. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to your
DLT1 Desktop Drive or other devices.
Do not move on to step 2
until you have shut down the operating system and turned
off the server or workstation that is to be the host for your DLT1 Desktop Drive. Turn off
all attached accessory devices, such as printers and other SCSI devices. Remove the
power cables from the host server or workstation and all attached accessory devices.
2. Locate the SCSI cable in the accessories package.
3. Attach one end of the SCSI cable to one of the connectors on the rear panel of your
DLT1 Desktop Drive.
4. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to the connector on your SCSI host adapter or to
the connector on the previous SCSI device on the SCSI bus.
