Installation 13
Check the SCSI Bus Termination
SCSI buses require termination at each end for proper operation. A typical external subsystem installation would be terminated at the SCSI
host adapter and at the last device in the chain.
If an external device is being used with an internal device (on the same channel), the SCSI host adapter would now be in the middle of the
bus rather than at the end. In this case, the termination would be at the internal device and at the last drive in the external chain. Remove the
terminators on the SCSI host adapter. Refer to the SCSI host adapter manual for directions on removing the terminators on the board.
Connecting Power and Turning the Autoloader On
1. Plug the power cord into the back of the LTO standalone.
2. Plug the power cord from the LTO standalone into a GROUNDED electrical outlet.
3. Plug the power cord from the host system into the same GROUNDED electrical circuit if possible. Computers and peripherals
should always share the same grounds.
4. Turn power on.
5. After the LTO standalone completes its Power on Self Test (POST), turn on the power to the host system.
Installing the Host Software
Refer to the host software installation guide and install the software, if necessary.
After completing installation of the LTO standalone unit and the host software, run a small backup/restore test and compare the results to
confirm that the unit is working correctly. Refer to the software installation guide for additional information.
