Terminating the Tape Drive

If the DLT VS80 tape drive is the only SCSI device – other than the SCSI host

adapter – on the selected server, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the DLT VS80

tape drive is the last device on the selected server SCSI bus, it must be terminated.

If the DLT VS80 tape drive is at the end of the SCSI cable, it is the last device on

the SCSI bus.

To terminate the DLT VS80 tape drive, locate the terminator in the accessories

package and press it firmly into either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear

panel of the drive. Secure the terminator by tightening the screws until snug.
