SDLT 600 Product Manual Chapter 5: Using Your Tape Drive
81-81184-02 REV A01 March 2004 5-13
System does not recognize
the SDLT 600 tape drive
system. (continued) Interface bus may not be
terminated correctly. If the SDLT 600 tape drive system is last or
only device on bus (except for adapter), be
certain the terminator is installed on the
SDLT 600 tape drive system.
If the SDLT 600 tape drive system is not the
last or only device on the bus, check the
cable connections and ensure that the bus is
properly terminated at each end.
Interface terminator may not be
at end of bus or more than two
terminators may be present. Ensure that a terminator is installed at each
end of the bus. One terminator is usually
installed at the host end of the bus.
Interface bus may be too long. Limit bus length to ANSI interface standard
for the interface interface being used.
Too many devices on the bus. Limit the number of devices on the bus
(including the interface adapter) to match
the limits of the interface being used.
A device may not have been
turned on and a valid interface
ID may not have been
configured before the system
powering on and loading BIOS. Turn the tape drive power on first, and then
turn on power to the system. Do this so that
the tape drive is properly recognized by the
system.
The tape drive does not
power on. No power is reaching the tape
drive. Check the tape drive’s power cable
connection at the back of the system.
Nonfatal or fatal errors
have occurred for which
the cause cannot be
determined. Interface bus termination or the
interface bus cable connections
may be incorrect.
The AC power source
grounding may be incorrect
(tabletop version).
Ensure the SCSI bus is terminated and that
all connections are secure. Use an AC outlet
for the tabletop tape unit on the same AC
line used by the host system.
