of the SE bus (usually 40 MB/s). The DLT-V4 is not compatible with a high-
voltage differential (HVD) SCSI bus.
If you attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus, you must use a
customer-supplied 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18
pins. These adapters are sometimes labeled
high-byte termination.
Make sure the total length of the SCSI bus does not exceed the ANSI SCSI
standard of 19 feet (6 meters) for an SE SCSI bus, 40 feet (12 meters) for an
LVD SCSI bus with multiple devices, or 82 feet (25 meters) for an LVD
SCSI bus with a single device.
