Terminating Your Tabletop Tape Drive
You must terminate the tape drive if it is the last physical device on the SCSI bus (at the end of the
SCSI chain). If another SCSI device is the last device on the SCSI bus, confirm that it is properly
terminated and do
not
terminate your tape drive.
N
OTE
:
Regardless of which device terminates the SCSI bus, it must have power
applied and be powered on for proper termination to occur.
To terminate your tape drive, locate the terminator in the accessories package and press it firmly into
either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the tape drive. Secure the terminator by
tightening the screws until snug. See
Figure 3-5
for more details.
Powering the Terminator
At least one device on the SCSI bus must supply terminator power (TERMPWR). The factory default
for the tape drive is for TERMPWR to be enabled. Only an authorized service provider can disable the
tape drive TERMPWR setting. Attach the terminator as shown in
Figure 3-5
.
N
OTE
:
It is acceptable for more than one device on the SCSI bus to provide
TERMPWR.
