Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship the system in the future. Caution You must ship the DS9000 Series in the original or equivalent packing materials or your warranty may be invalidated. Checking the Accessories Check to make certain that the following items are included with your DS9000 Series: · · · · · · · Power cord One DLTTape IV data cartridge One cleaning cartridge, or a coupon for a free DLT cleaning cartridge One SCSI cable One SCSI bus terminator This manual A Warranty Registration card None of the items should show signs of damage. Installing the Host Adapter At this point if your host computer system does not have native SCSI capability and the host adapter you are using is not installed, please install it. Refer to the manual that came with your host adapter for specific directions. When the host adapter card is installed return to this point in the manual. Connecting the Interface Cable Attach an interface cable between the host adapter and the DS9000 Series. The kind of cable needed depends on the kind of SCSI bus connector on the host adapter. It does not matter which connector is used. 12 Installation Note DXU RQY\ \_S[c _b ZQS[cSbUgc Qd dXU U^Tc _V dXU C3C9 SQR\U ]ecd RU cUSebU\i VQcdU^UT d_ Y^cebU S_]]e^YSQdY_^c RUdgUU^ dXU 4C) CUbYUc Q^T dXU X_cd S_]`edUb Make sure that the SCSI cable between the host adapter and the DS9000 Series is secure and the connections are fastened correctly. Connecting More than One DS9000 Series Unit If connecting to more than one DS9000 Series unit on the same SCSI channel, connect each unit to the previous unit with an interface cable. Refer to Figure 6 to see a configuration set-up.

Use a small pointed object to press either the + button on the bottom, or the minus button on the top of the switch to select the proper ID. Count each device's SCSI IDs in order from 0 to 7 (or from 0 to 15) on each SCSI bus to confirm that no two devices have the same ID number assigned.

A typical external subsystem installation would be terminated at the SCSI host adapter and at the last device in the chain. If an external device is being used with an internal device (on the same channel), the SCSI host adapter would now be in the middle of the bus rather than at the end. In this case, the termination would be at the internal device and the last drive in the external chain. Refer to the SCSI host adapter manual for directions on removing the terminators on the board. Is there a terminator installed on each end of the SCSI bus?

After completing installation of the DS9000 Series unit and backup software, run a small backup/restore test and compare the results to confirm that the unit is working correctly. Refer to the software installation guide for additional information. 16 Installation Chapter 3 Operation and Maintenance This Chapter . . 5 5 5 describes normal operating features of the DS9000 Series. describes how to clean the enclosure. 17 Power-on Self-Test When the system power is ON, the DLT drive performs a Power-on Self-Test (POST).

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 35 When Assistance is Required Calling ADIC's Technical Assistance Center (ATAC) Customer Support is provided free of charge to all ADIC customers who have a maintenance or warranty agreement. Customers should provide the unit's serial number when calling for support. Warranty exchange service is available to all customers who have validated their warranty by returning the warranty card shipped with their unit, in accordance with the terms of the warranty.
