Check SCSI termination

Will your new tape drive be the last or only SCSI device

on a SCSI cable?

•

If your drive will be the last device on the SCSI cable

or the only device on the cable, as shown in Example 1

at left, make sure that a jumper is installed on the

SCSI termination jumper pins, as shown at lower left.

•

If your tape drive will be in the middle of a SCSI

chain, as shown in Example 2 at upper left, you must

disable SCSI termination on the drive. To disable SCSI

termination on the tape drive, remove the termina-

tion jumper (see figure at lower left). Make sure that

the last SCSI device on the cable has termination

enabled.

NoteNote

Note

. If your computer has external SCSI devices or

SCSI devices attached to a wide (68-pin) SCSI

cable, see your SCSI host adapter manual for

termination instructions.
