Chapter 3
Installing Your Tape Drive
This chapter explains how to configure and install your tape drive. Configuration and installation are
not difficult and require only that you follow the instructions presented in this chapter.
3.1
Preparing to Install Your Tape Drive
This section helps you prepare to install your DLT VS160 tape drive (tabletop or internal).
3.1.1 SCSI Bus Requirements
Your DLT VS160 tape drive (tabletop and internal) incorporates a wide Ultra 160 low-voltage
differential (LVD) small computer system interface (SCSI) bus, but you can also attach it to a single-
ended (SE) SCSI bus.
Make sure your SCSI host adapter or controller supports these configurations. If you connect the tape
drive to an SE bus, or if there are SE devices attached to the same SCSI bus, the tape drive’s
performance is limited to the maximum data transfer speed and maximum cable lengths of the SE bus
(usually 40 MB/s). The DLT VS160 is not compatible with a standard differential or high-voltage
differential (HVD) SCSI bus.
