In the final installation stage, you connect the SCSI and power cables to
the tape drive.
To connect the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive, follow these
steps:
1
Shut down the operating system and power down the server or
workstation.
2
Power off all peripheral devices, such as printers and other SCSI
devices.
3
Obtain a SCSI cable with an open 68-pin, high-density connector.
4
Connect one end of the SCSI cable to one of the connectors on the rear
panel of the tape drive as shown in
figure 3
. Either SCSI connector
works equally well.
Figure 3
does not show a terminator because
none of the three tape drives in the illustration are at the end of the
SCSI bus.
Note:
If the selected server or workstation does not already have an
installed SCSI host adapter, you will need to install one. For
more information on SCSI host adapter requirements, see
SCSI
Bus Requirements
on page 4.
Caution:
Do not go to step
3
until you have completed steps
1
and
2
. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in damage to the tape drive or other devices.
