6
Obtain a SCSI cable with an open 68-pin, high-density connector.
7
Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the rear
panel of the tape drive. The SCSI connectors are keyed, preventing
improper connection.
8
Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI host adapter,
aligning the colored stripe on the cable with pin 1 on the SCSI host
adapter’s connector.
9
Locate an available power cable in the server or workstation and
attach it to the power connector on the rear panel of the tape drive.
The connector is keyed, preventing improper connection.
Note:
If the SCSI cable does not fit the connector on the SCSI
host adapter, you either have an incompatible SCSI host
adapter or you need to purchase a cable adapter. Contact
your sales representative or the SCSI host adapter
manufacturer for information. See
Terminating the
Internal SCSI Tape Drive
on page 17 to determine if you
need to use an LVD/SE terminator with the SCSI cable.
