Figure 11 Connecting the SCSI cable
4. Attach the HD connection on the SCSI cable to the SCSI-IN connector on the rear panel of the tape
drive and secure it by tightening the screws. (See Figure 11 .) Do not connect the cable to the
SCSI-OUT connector.
5. The SCSI-OUT connector is only used when daisy chaining two devices. This is not recommended. If
you do so, do not mix drive families (only daisy chain with other Ultrium tape drives) and do not
daisy chain Ultra320 tape drives. See also Table 2 on page 15.
Does the tape drive need a terminator?
If the tape drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus, it does not require a terminator. When the cable is
connected to the SCSI-IN connector, the enclosure provides active termination.
If it is not the only device on the SCSI bus, you must make sure that the SCSI bus is terminated. You
can do this in two ways:
• Place the tape drive at the end of the chain and attach the HD connection on the SCSI cable to
the SCSI-IN connector; the enclosure provides active termination.
• Attach the HD connection on the SCSI cable to the SCSI-IN connector and use the SCSI-OUT
connector on the tape drive to connect to the next device in the chain. Make sure that the last
device in the chain is terminated with an LVD multimode terminator
Connect the power cord
1. Plug the supplied power cord securely into the socket on the rear panel of the drive.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the power outlet. The power on/off switch is on the
front panel, see Figure 12 .
