Installing a DLTtape or Super DLTtape Drive into an AIX System
Note:
The DLT 2000XT, DLT 2500XT, DLT 2700XT, DLT 4000, DLT 7000,
DLT 8000, SDLT 220, SDLT 320, and SDLT 600 tape drives do not
have firmware revision restrictions.
2.
Make sure that the hardware has the appropriate SCSI interface for the tape drive. If
you have a SCSI single-ended (SE) tape drive, you need a SCSI SE interface; if you
have a SCSI low-voltage differential (LVD) or high-voltage differential (HVD) tape
drive, you need a SCSI LVD or HVD interface.
3.
Obtain the appropriate manual for your tape drive as listed in
Table 1
. These manuals
provide detailed hardware installation instructions, including switch and jumper
settings and information about SCSI bus termination.
