There are fatal or
nonfatal errors for which
you cannot find the
cause.
The SCSI bus might be
improperly terminated.
•
If your tape drive is the last or only device on the
SCSI bus, make sure the tape drive is properly
terminated.
•
If your tape drive is not the last or only device on
the SCSI bus, check all the SCSI cable
connections and make sure the last device on the
SCSI bus is terminated.
•
Make sure termination is set properly on the
SCSI host adapter.
•
If you attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin)
SCSI bus, you must use a customer-supplied
68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the
unused 18 pins. These adapters are sometimes
labeled “high-byte termination.”
•
Regardless of which device terminates the SCSI
bus, it must have power applied and be powered
on for proper termination to occur.
The AC power source may
not be properly grounded
(DLT VS160 tabletop tape
drive only).
•
Plug your tape drive’s power cable into a power
outlet on the same circuit as the server.
•
Plug your tape drive’s power cable into a
different power outlet.
The backup application
does not recognize the
tape drive.
Application not compatible or
improper device drivers
installed.
If the operating system recognizes the tape drive, but
not the backup application, confirm that you are
using a compatible backup application. Also
confirm that you have the proper device drivers
installed. See
“Firmware Upgrades and Drivers” on
page 2-2
to obtain the latest operating system drivers
and/or firmware upgrades.
