DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide 25 Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Connecting a SCSI Cable The tape drive automatically detects whether the SCSI bus is LVD or single ended. Note: We strongly recommend that you attach the tape drive to SCSI controllers that support the SCSI Ultra2 LVD interface only. Attaching the tape drive to a non-LVD SCSI controller or an 8bit Narrow SCSI controller will degrade the performance of your tape drive and backup operations. Performance will also be degraded if you attach non-LVD SCSI devices on the same bus cable as your LVD connection. Do not connect the tape drive to a disk RAID controller (disk RAID controllers are not supported). If you install an adapter, we recommend you purchase a SCSI LVD controller kit that includes the SCSI cable and terminator. Connecting to a Wide SCSI Connector 2 If your computer has a 68-pin wide SCSI connector: 1 Attach the interface cable from the SCSI host adapter to the 68-pin SCSI interface connector on the back of the internal tape drive. Figure 8 SCSI Interface Connector on the Internal Tape Drive Connecting to a Narrow SCSI Connector 2 The internal tape drives have an Ultra Wide SCSI interface. Obtaining a 50-to-68 pin adapter lets you connect the 68 pins on the internal tape drive to the 50 pins on the computer's narrow SCSI bus. 1 Connect the adapter to your computer's 50-pin SCSI connector. 26 DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Checking SCSI Termination 2 Connect the SCSI cable with the adapter to the internal tape drive's 68-pin SCSI connector. Note: Be sure the upper 8 data bytes of the 68-pin cable are properly terminated. Checking SCSI Termination 2 The internal tape drives do not provide SCSI termination. If the drive is the only SCSI device on the bus: 1 Attach it to the next-to-last connector on the SCSI chain. This terminator typically is a small, rectangular plastic block that is marked SCSI Terminator and attaches to the cable. Figure 9 Two SCSI Termination Examples for the Internal Tape Drives SCSI Terminator SCSI device (termination enabled) Tape drive (no termination) Tape drive (no termination) SCSI device (termination disabled) SCSI Controller (termination enabled) SCSI Controller (termination enabled) DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide 27 Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Connecting a Power Cable Connecting a Power Cable To connect a power cable to the internal tape drive: 2 1 Connect a spare 4-pin power cable from the computer's internal power supply to the power connector on the back of the internal tape drive. Figure 10 shows the location of the power connector on the internal tape drive. The recommended 4-pin power connector for the internal drives is an AMP 1-48024-0 housing, with AMP 60617-1 pins or equivalent. Figure 10 Power Connector on the Internal Tape Drive Completing Your Installation To complete and test your internal tape drive installation: 1 Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the drive in place. 3 Reconnect the power cord to the computer's power connector. 2 4 Turn on the computer. If the internal tape drive is configured to perform its Power-On Self-Test (see Power-On Self-Test on page 18), it performs the test for about five seconds. When the drive passes the test, all three front-panel LEDs should be OFF. 28 DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Registering Your Tape Drive 5 Install your backup software program. [. . . ] 3 If the Media LED continues to flash, contact the Technical Support department. 6 DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide 59 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Hardware Error Hardware Error 6 If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly, a hardware error has occurred. If the fault occurs immediately after powering on the drive, the Power-On Self Test switch (switch 4) is enabled and a Power-On Self-Test has failed. If the front panel LEDs are flashing together, contact the Technical Support department. If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly during drive operation: 1 Press the Eject button to remove the tape.
