NOTE: The tabletop model comes ONLY with the SCSI interface. The Fibre Channel interface is not available. 4-20 March 2004 81-81184-01 REV A02 SDLT 600 Product Manual Chapter 4: Installing Your Tape Drive 4. 6. 1 Configuring the Tape Drive Figure 4-9 on page 4-21 shows the location of the controls and connectors for the tabletop tape drive. 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. SCSI ID Selector SCSI Connectors Fan Power Switch Power Connector Figure 4-9. Back Panel of the Tabletop Model SCSI ID The SCSI ID default for the tabletop tape drive is set to 3; you can configure the tape drive for SCSI ID addresses that range from 0 to 15 using the SCSI ID pushbutton. Press the button above or below the ID number display to set the desired SCSI ID. The top button increases the ID number, the bottom button decreases the ID number. Figure 4-10 on page 4-22 shows a close-up view of the SCSI ID switch and its location on the rear of the tabletop model of the SDLT 600 tape drive. 81-81184-01 REV A02 March 2004 4-21 Configuring and Installing a Tabletop Tape Drive SDLT 600 Product Manual 3 SCSI ID Selector 3 Figure 4-10. SCSI ID Selector Switch for the SDLT 600 Tape Drive Tabletop Model TERMPWR The factory preconfigures the TERMPWR setting for the tabletop tape drive according to specific customer requirements. You can not select TERMPWR on site. 4. 6. 2 Installing the Tabletop Tape Drive Tabletop tape drive installation consists of connecting SCSI bus and power cables. Figure 4-9 on page 4-21 shows the location of the two SCSI bus connectors and power connector on the back of the tabletop tape drive. SCSI Cables You can connect the SCSI bus cable leading from the host adapter to either of the tape drive SCSI connectors. If the tape unit is the last device on the bus, then you should install a SCSI terminator on the open connector. If the bus continues from the tape drive to another SCSI device, then install a SCSI 4-22 March 2004 81-81184-01 REV A02 SDLT 600 Product Manual Chapter 4: Installing Your Tape Drive bus cable between the open connector and the next device on the bus. Figure 4-11 illustrates these two connection methods.

Prior to connecting the SDLT 600 tape drive to the host computer, be certain the tape drive and computer are turned off. 2. If you are connecting several devices to the SCSI bus, connect only the tape drive to the host computer at this time. Confirm that the host computer and tape drive are communicating correctly before adding additional devices. 3. To install the SCSI terminator, place it into the unused SCSI connector on the rear of the tabletop tape drive and tighten the screws to secure it. If the SDLT 600 tape drive is the only device connected to the SCSI bus, attach the SCSI terminator to one of the connectors on the back of the tape drive (see Figure 4-11, A). If the SDLT 600 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 back of the tape drive (see Figure 4-11, B). 4.
