When to Use Termination

If the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive is the only SCSI device on the selected server other than the SCSI host
adapter, or it is the last physical device on the SCSI bus (at the end of the SCSI cable), it must be terminated. If another SCSI
device is the last device on the SCSI bus, confirm that it is properly terminated and do not terminate the PowerVault 110T DLT
VS160 Tape drive. Regardless of which device is used to terminate the SCSI bus, it must have power applied and be turned on for
proper termination to occur.

To terminate the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive, install an active Low-Voltage Differential/Single-Ended
(LVD/SE) cable-end or inline terminator on the SCSI cable you intend to use with the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal
drive. See the terminator's instructions for more information.

Terminator Power

At least one device on the SCSI bus must supply terminator power (TERMPWR). The factory default for the PowerVault 110T DLT
VS160 Tape Internal drive is TERMPWR enabled, which is the recommended setting. It is acceptable for more than one device on
the SCSI bus to provide TERMPWR. If you need to disable TERMPWR, remove the terminator power jumper shown in

Figure 1

Installing the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal Drive

1. Shut down the operating system and turn off the selected server. Turn off all attached accessory devices, such as printers

and other SCSI devices. Remove the power cables from the host server and all attached accessories. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in damage to the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive or other devices.

CAUTION: Do not move on to step 2 until you have shut down the operating system and turned off the server
that is to be the host for the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive. Turn off all attached accessory
devices, such as printers and other SCSI devices. Remove the power cables from the host server and all
attached accessories.

2. Locate an available half-height, 5¼-inch drive bay and remove the front cover from the drive bay as described in the

server's manuals (see Figure 2).

3. Slide the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive into the open drive bay (see Figure 2).
