Note: SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the controller. The SCSI ID can be set up to 15, but a SCSI ID
above 6 is not recommended.
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.
The DLT VS80 tape drive ships with a ribbon cable that is already terminated as
shown in Figure 9. If you use a cable other than the one provided, be sure that the
cable is terminated at each end.
