different expansion slot.
(continued on next page)
The SCSI bus might be too
long.
Make sure the total length of the
SCSI bus does not exceed the
ANSI SCSI standard of 19 feet (6
meters) for a single-ended (SE)
bus, 40 feet (12 meters) for an LVD
SCSI bus with multiple devices, 82
feet (25 meters) for an LVD SCSI
bus with a single device, or 10 feet
(3 meters) for a Fast SCSI-2 or
Ultra SCSI-1 bus.
The SCSI bus might be
improperly terminated.
1. If your DLT-VS80 is the last or
only device on the SCSI bus, make
sure the drive is properly
terminated. Make sure only the last
device is terminated.
2. If your DLT-VS80 is not the last
or only device on the SCSI bus,
check all SCSI cable connections
and make sure the last device on
the SCSI bus is terminated.
There are fatal or non-fatal
errors for which you cannot
find the cause.
The AC power source may
not be properly grounded
(FC Tw DLTVS80es
Desktop Drive only).
1. Plug the DLT-VS80esDesktop
Drive’s power cable into a power
outlet on the same circuit as the
host server or workstation.
2. Plug the DLT-VS80esDesktop
Drive’s power cable into a different
power outlet.
