Tabletop Tape Drive Configuration
This section provides instructions for configuring the tabletop model of the DLT-S4 tape drive.
Note:
2
The tabletop model comes ONLY with the SCSI interface. The Fibre Channel interface is not available.
Configuring the Tape Drive
2
This model of tape drive is normally configured to meet customer specifications before leaving the factory, so should not require any internal configuration changes on site (see figure 15 for the location of the controls and connectors for the tabletop tape drive).

Setting the SCSI ID
2 Each device connected to a SCSI bus must have a unique SDSI ID
number. The default SCSI ID for the tabletop tape drive is 3; you can configure the tape drive for SCSI ID addresses that range from 0 to 15 using the SCSI ID pushbutton.

Note:
Ensure that the tape drive's SCSI ID is unique on the SCSI bus. If the tape drive is the only SCSI device, leave the SCSI ID set to 3, the default setting. This setting is typically reserved for the SCSI controller.
Press the button above or below the ID number display to set the desired SCSI ID (see figure 16 for a close-up view of the SCSI ID switch and its location on the rear of the tabletop tape drive). · ·

Tabletop Tape Drive Installation
Tabletop tape drive installation consists of connecting SCSI bus and power cables (see figure 15).
2
Attaching the SCSI Cables 2 You can connect the SCSI bus cable leading from the host adapter to either of the tape drive SCSI connectors. · · If the tape drive is the last device on the bus, install a SCSI terminator on the open connector. If the bus continues from the tape drive to another SCSI device, install a SCSI bus cable between the open connector and the next device on the bus. See figure 17 and figure 18 for the two connection methods.

Follow these steps to install the tape drive as a single tape drive connection.
1 Ensure that the tape drive and computer are turned off, prior to
connecting the tape drive to the host computer.
Caution:
Never connect the tape drive while the host system or peripheral devices are turned on.

2 Connect only the tape drive to the host computer at this time, if you
are connecting several devices to the SCSI bus.
Confirm that the host computer and tape drive are communicating correctly before adding additional devices.
3 Terminate the SCSI bus at each end. ·
If the tape drive is the only device connected to the SCSI bus, attach the SCSI terminator to one of the connectors on the rear of the tape drive (see figure 17). If the tape drive is one of several devices connected to the SCSI bus, and it is the last device connected to the SCSI bus, attach the SCSI terminator to one of the connectors on the rear of the tape drive (see figure 18).

Follow these steps to install the tape drive as a daisy-chain connection.
1 Ensure that all devices have unique SCSI IDs (see Setting the SCSI ID
on page 43).
2 Ensure that the tape drive and computer are turned off, prior to
connecting the tape drive to the host computer.
Caution:
Never connect the tape drive while the host system or peripheral devices are turned on.
3 Connect the SCSI cable from the host computer to the lower SCSI
connector on the rear of the tape drive.
4 Continue the SCSI chain using the upper SCSI connector. 5 Terminate the tape drive by attaching a terminator to the upper SCSI
connector.
Note:
You must terminate the SCSI bus. The SCSI controller terminates one end, while a terminator on the last device in the chain terminates the other end.

Connecting the AC Power Cable 2
An AC power cable is supplied with each tabletop unit. Carefully inspect the power cable and ensure that the cable is the appropriate cable for your country or region based on the following criteria.
Warning:
Do not attempt to modify or use a tabletop 100115 V AC power cable for 220240 V AC input power. Modifying the power cable in any way can cause personal injury and severe equipment damage.
The AC power cable used with the tabletop unit must meet the following criteria: · · · The power cable should be a minimum of 18/3 AWG, 60 °C, type SJT or SVT UL and CSA certified cordage rated for use at 250V AC with a current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the product You must terminate the AC plug in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your country or region. It must also have marks showing certification by an agency acceptable in your country or region The tabletop unit cable connector must be an IEC type CEE-22 female connector The cable must be no longer than 4. 5 meters (14. 5 feet) The cable must be FCC compliant with emissions specifications
· · ·
See figure 19 for the AC power cable plug-end types for 115 V AC and 220/240 V AC usage.

Chapter 2 Tape Drive Installation Installation Confirmation Procedure
The tabletop unit power supply has an auto-sensing feature; it requires no adjustment or switch setting changes for different AC sources.
1 Connect one end of the AC power cable into the power connector on
the rear of the tabletop tape drive (see figure 10 on page 30 and figure 15 on page 43).
2 Connect the other end of the power cable to the AC outlet.
On completion, proceed to the next section to confirm the installation.
Installation Confirmation Procedure
To confirm the installation:
1 Turn on the DLT-S4 tape drive system. 2 Turn on the host computer.
2
The screens displayed at power-on contain: · · · BIOS Operating system SCSI controller information
If the first screen displays host adapter and SCSI ID information, that means the installation was successful. See Tape Drive Troubleshooting on page 64 if the installation is not successful.
