3.1.2 Physical Considerations
If you attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus, you must use a customer-supplied 68-pin to
50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 pins. These adapters are sometimes labeled “high-byte
termination.”
Make sure the total length of the SCSI bus does not exceed the ANSI SCSI standard of 19 feet
(6 meters) for an SE SCSI bus, 40 feet (12 meters) for an LVD SCSI bus with multiple devices, or
82 feet (25 meters) for an LVD SCSI bus with a single device.
3.1.3 Before You Start
Installing your DLT VS160 tabletop tape drive requires no special tools. You will need a ballpoint pen
to change the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel of the tape drive.
If you are installing a DLT VS160 internal tape drive, refer to “Installing your Quantum DLT VS160
Internal Tape Drive” on page 3-9 for instructions. Installing your DLT VS160 internal tape drive
requires only the usual tools needed to install an internal tape drive in the computer you have chosen to
house the tape drive (for example, a screwdriver and some ESD protection).
