Checking the SCSI
Termination

2

By default, the internal LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive does not provide

SCSI termination. If you use this default setting, you must place a SCSI

bus terminator or a SCSI device with termination enabled at the end of

the SCSI chain. See

figure 6

for two examples of SCSI termination.

The internal LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive provides terminator power if

a jumper is placed on the termination power jumper pins (see

Terminator

Power

on page 10).

Connecting a
Serial Cable for
Tape Libraries

2

The Internal LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive include an RS-422 serial

interface for tape libraries. The LTO-2 library interface uses an in-line

shrouded and keyed 10-pin connector. This connector is located on the

lower left side of the back of the drive (see

figure 5

).
