Note:
If your SCSI host adapter already has a ribbon cable with an open 68-pin, high-
density connector, you can use the existing cable instead of the cable supplied with your
DLT-VS80 internal drive.
5. Locate the SCSI ribbon cable in the accessories package. Attach one end of the SCSI
ribbon cable to the SCSI connector on the rear panel of your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive.
The SCSI connectors are keyed, preventing improper connection.
Note:
If the supplied SCSI cable does not fit the connector on your SCSI host adapter, you
either have an incompatible SCSI host adapter or you need to purchase a cable adapter.
Contact Benchmark Storage Innovations or your SCSI host adapter manufacturer for
information.
Note:
Refer to page 2-10 to determine if you need to use an LVD/SE terminator with the
SCSI cable.
6. Attach the other end of the SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI host adapter, aligning the
colored stripe on the ribbon cable with pin 1 on the SCSI host adapter’s connector.
7. Locate an available power cable in the host server or workstation and attach it to the
power connector on the rear panel of your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive. The connectors are
keyed, preventing improper connection.
