Installing an External Drive
Step 2: Attach Local Language Labels if Necessary

Step 2: Attach Local Language Labels if Necessary
A set of labels for the front panel in several different languages is provided
with the drive. Identify those with your local language, peel them from the
backing paper and stick them firmly to the front panel of the drive over the
English-language labels.
Step 3: Attach the SCSI Terminator
You need to attach the SCSI terminator provided with the drive. The
terminator is kept separate from the drive in the box when shipped from
the factory to avoid damage.
1 Connect the SCSI terminator to either of the SCSI
connectors on the rear of the drive.
2 Secure the connector firmly in place.
The only situation in which you do not need to attach
the terminator is if the drive is situated in the middle of the SCSI bus with
some other device at the end. This should not be the case if you follow HP’s
advice to place your DLT drive on its own on a dedicated SCSI bus in order
to achieve optimal performance. If you choose to ignore this
recommendation, plug the SCSI cable of the next device into the second
SCSI connector.
Note HP SureStore DLT 80e only: The terminator supplied with the drive is
multi-mode and automatically senses whether the bus is LVD (low-voltage
differential) and SE (single-ended) and terminates correctly.
Step 4: Connect the SCSI Cable
Caution To avoid damaging the computer or tape drive, ensure that both they and
any other devices attached to the SCSI bus are powered off while you
attach the SCSI cable.
