Table 2-1 Accessories and equipment for installation and operations
Accessories and Equipment
Power cord
Two power cords are provided with the autoloader: One for use
in the US and Canada and one for use in Europe. If you plan to
use the autoloader outside of these locations, refer to page 84 for
power cord requirements.
Cartridge
magazine
One cartridge magazine is included with the autoloader.
Cartridges One or more data cartridges and a cleaning cartridge may be
included with the autoloader. You can purchase data cartridges
and cleaning cartridges from Exabyte.
Caution
The VXA-2 tape drive operates with VXAtape
cartridges only. Do not attempt to use other
types of data or cleaning cartridges, or you
may damage the tape drive.
SCSI cables One wide, multi-mode (single-ended/LVD) SCSI cable may be
included with the autoloader.
You can purchase additional cables from Exabyte or provide your
own. Follow these guidelines when selecting SCSI cables:
!
Use wide LVD SCSI cables that conform to SCSI-3 specifications.
To comply with the regulations and standards listed in
Appendix A , all SCSI cables used with the autoloader must be
properly shielded.
!
The maximum allowable length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 meters
(39 feet) if you have more than two devices on the bus. To
determine the bus length, add together the lengths of all external
SCSI cables. Add 0.7 meters (27.2 inches) for the internal cable
length used by the autoloader. Add the internal cable lengths
for any other SCSI devices on the bus.
SCSI
terminators
One wide, multi-mode (single-ended/LVD) SCSI terminator may
be included with the autoloader.
You can purchase terminators from Exabyte or provide your own.
If you want to use your own terminator, use an active terminator
such as the AMP 796051-1 (SE/LVD Multi-mode) SCSI terminator.
Termination must be external; do not use an internal terminator.
