Internal drives
A suitably terminated LVD internal ribbon cable is supplied with the tape drive. The terminator is
usually a small, rectangular block of plastic attached to the cable end and marked ‘SCSI
Terminator’.

As long as this terminator is attached, you do not need to take any further action. However, if you
have other devices attached to the cable, make sure that they have termination removed or
disabled.
NOTE: If you have an internal and external device attached to the same SCSI bus, the HBA will be
in the middle of the cable and thus its termination must be disabled. See the host bus adapter's
documentation for details of how to do this.
External drives
All HP StorageWorks DAT external tape drives are supplied with the appropriate cable and LVD
terminators.
