Termination Internal Tape Drive
The Internal SCSI-bus cable must be terminated as shown in
Figure 4
according to
SCSI specifications. If the tape drive is the last device on the bus, the bus must be
terminated within 10 cm of the tape drive connection.
Tandberg LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3 have a combined SCSI-LVD/SE interface
embedded. The PC-98 Specification specifies that the termination of the SCSI-bus
system is a part of the SCSI-cable and not a part of the SCSI-device. As a result,
termination cannot be turned on or off directly on the tape drive itself.
For internal devices, a SCSI-cable with an integrated terminator or a separate
terminator applied to the end connector of the cable, 10 cm from the last device,
must be used.

SCSI Identification on External Tabletop
Make sure that the drive unit has the proper SCSI-ID before it is connected to a
computer system. Refer to manuals for host computer and application software to
obtain the correct ID.
External Tabletop Enclosures have a thumb-wheel switch to set the SCSI-ID for
the tape drive (see
Figure 5
).
