Installation Instructions

201414- 002

The Compaq SDLT tape drive requires a Wide-Ultra SCSI

Controller or higher.

Step 1, Set the SCSI ID (Figure A)

Each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus must have a

unique SCSI ID. The default for Compaq tape drives is 6. If

needed, change the SCSI ID by pressing the button above

or below the number display on the back of the tape drive

enclosure.

IMPORTANT: SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the SCSI controller, two SCSI

controllers have IDs 6 and 7.

Step 2, Connect the Cables (Figure B)

1. Turn off the computer and any peripherals.

2. Attach the SCSI signal cable 1to the SCSI connector

2located on the rear panel of the SDLT drive and

then to the external SCSI-2 port on the computer. Use

the appropriate SCSI cable for your computer SCSI

connection. Two 6-ft (1.8-m) cables are provided.

3. Attach the terminator (not shown) to the SCSI

connector 3.

4. Plug the tape drive’s AC power cord 4into the drive

and then plug the other end into a grounded AC

outlet.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or

damage to your equipment, do not disable the power

cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed

for connection to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.

The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

5. Turn on all peripheral devices and the computer.

Daisy Chaining - Optional Configuration (Figure C)

Two SDLT tape drives can be connected to the same SCSI

channel at the same time. Use a 6-ft (1.8-m) cable to attach

the initial unit, then use a 3-ft (0.9-m) cable to daisy chain

the additional tape drive.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect more than two tape drives per SCSI

controller. If using a low voltage differential (LVD) controller, more than

2 drives can be connected per controller. Refer to your LVD manual

for cable configurations.

1. If the first drive unit has a terminator on the SCSI

connector 1, remove it.

2. Connect the tape drives together by placing a SCSI

cable between the SCSI connector 2of the first drive

to the SCSI connector 3of the second drive.

3. Place the terminator (not shown) on the SCSI

connector 4of the second drive.

4. Turn on all peripheral devices and the computer.

Installation is complete. For more information about your

tape drive, refer to the Compaq SDLT Drive Reference

Guide that came with your tape drive.
