About This Manual

This is not a technical manual. Technical manuals usually

include information about the drive mechanism (like drive

specs, wiring schematics, pin outs ... stuff like that). Since

opening your Glyph enclosure voids your warranty, our

documentation covers the setup & use of the product, not

the drive inside it.

If you have questions or comments of a technical nature,

we urge you to check out our web site for technical

resources at www.glyphtech.com, or contact the Glyph

Technical Support Department at (607)275-0154.

The importance of the addendum.

Now, here’s one of the most important parts. As

technology changes, so do our products. So, in an effort to

make sure you have all of the most up-to-date information

and methodologies regarding your drive, we occasionally

include addendum sheets in your packing materials. Please

read this document for specific information about

compatibilities and formatting issues which may apply to

your situation.

Unpacking, Inspection & General Info

Your Glyph drive and accessories are packaged in a sturdy

shipping container. Please inspect the container for

evidence of shipping damage and mishandling. If such

evidence is found, file a report with the carrier or your

Glyph dealer immediately and do not attempt to unpack

and operate the Glyph drive until the carrier or dealer

confirms the damage. Glyph products are factory sealed

and you should not accept a box which has been previously

opened.

Open the box. Get all excited. Now, proceed with

unpacking the Glyph drive and verify that all of the

following items are present:

1. The Glyph drive itself

Tabletop -or- Rack Mounted

2. One (1) Glyph brand SCSI Cable

3. One (1) Terminator

4. One (1) Power Cable

5. Rack Screws (rack mounted drives only)

6. Warranty Card

If any of the items are missing, contact the party from

whom the drive has been purchased to arrange for

replacement.

• It is a good idea to keep the shipping container and

packing materials for storing or shipping the Glyph Tape

Drive at some future date.

• Save the serial number/part number document for your

records. this is very important should you ever need tech

support or service.

Parts Identification

Take a moment to study the diagrams below & on the

following pages. You will be connecting cables and setting

switches on the drive shortly, so it will be helpful to know

the layout of the physical connections.

Glyph drives come in tabletop & rack mounted

configurations... yours looks like one of the following 5

enclosures.

Configuring your Glyph Ultra Wide Drive for Install

Your Glyph ultra wide drive will interface with your SCSI

card through the SCSI cable which is supplied with your

drive, or with a cable specified by your ultra wide SCSI card

manufacturer. The drivers to use the Glyph drive with a

Macintosh are included with your ultra wide interface card

package. Follow the instructions in the card’s manual for

proper installation. The drivers are specific to the Ultra

Wide interface card that you have inside your computer.

If you have an incompatible card, Glyph can provide

currently compatible cards for most applications.

Connectivity

Ultra Wide SCSI is an interface specification that facilitates

high speed data transfer between devices. The specification

for Ultra Wide SCSI allows the connection of up to sixteen

(16) peripheral devices to one Ultra Wide interface card.

However, a more realistic, “Real World” application would

be to daisy chain up to eight (8) devices together with up

to 1.5 collective meters of cable (don’t forget to factor in

six inches of internal cabling per drive).

Connecting the Glyph Ultra Wide Hard Disk

To connect your Glyph drive, locate the following items

from inside your new hard drive’s package:

Rack Mount Drive -or- Tabletop Drive

• The Glyph drive itself

• Power cable

• SCSI interface cable(s)

• Active Terminator

Installing Glyph Hard Drive Hardware

Step 1 - Install your Ultra Wide card

Carefully ... follow the installation instructions in the

manual which came with your ultra wide interface card.

The card must be installed correctly in order for your

computer to communicate with your Glyph Hard Drive.

If you are having difficulty with any aspect of the

installation of your card, please contact the manufacturer

of the card for technical assistance.

Step 2 - Position the Drive

If you are using the Glyph ultra wide rack mount drive,

mount the drive (using the four supplied screws) into your

rack, or find a level, solid surface on which to place the unit.

If you are using the Tabletop Glyph Drive, find a level,

solid surface on which to place the unit.

Step 3 - Connect Power Cable (Power Off)

Make sure that the power is off on all of your computer

equipment and the Glyph drive. Connect the power cable

to the back of the Glyph drive. Plug the three prong power

plug into an appropriate power receptacle, preferably with

surge and spike protection.

Step 4 - Connect SCSI Cable

The pins of the Ultra Wide SCSI cables are extremely easy

to damage, so be very careful plugging and unplugging

them. Carefully ... connect the SCSI cable to the Ultra

Wide SCSI card which you have already installed. Then

connect the remaining 68 pin end to the back of the Glyph

drive in either the top or bottom 68 pin connector. These

two connectors are functionally identical and the open

connector can be used for adding more ultra wide devices

or for termination (more on termination in this guide).

Glyph uses a 68 pin High Density connector for our

LVD/ultra wide drives, so we’ve supplied a 68 to 68 pin

Ultra Wide SCSI cable with each Glyph ultra wide drive. If

you already have one or more ultra wide SCSI devices

connected to your ultra wide SCSI card, you need to daisy

chain your drives together. If your Ultra Wide SCSI card

uses a connector other than 68 pin, call Glyph Technical

Support.

Both ends have 68 pins

Step 5 - SCSI Termination

Like we mentioned earlier, the ultra wide SCSI interface

specification allows up to sixteen (16) peripheral devices

connected to one ultra wide SCSI card. The ultra wide

SCSI bus wants to know where the first and last devices

connected are. This is accomplished by adding active

termination to the peripheral devices. Active termination

can be implemented in many different ways. Glyph has

supplied a small rectangular 68 pin terminator that plugs

into the remaining 68 pin connectors on the back of the

drive (or where ever the end of the daisy chain).

When to Use Termination

on your Computer

When deciding if you need to use the terminator for your

Glyph drive,use the following as a guide:

* In this case, make sure that none of the “middle” devices are terminated. Only the first and last devices should be

terminated.

Ultra wide SCSI devices are physically connected together

by cables in a “daisy chain”. When we refer to first or last

devices, we refer to the physical location of the device in a

daisy chain rather than the SCSI ID number of the device.

Situation Terminator

The Hard Drive is the only SCSI

device connected to the Computer. ON

The Hard Drive is the last SCSI device

in a chain of three or more devices. ON*

The Hard Drive is NOT the last

device in a chain of two or more devices. OFF

Step 6 - SCSI ID Selection Switch

The SCSI ID Selection Switch sets the

drive’s SCSI identification number. Each

device connected to your ultra wide SCSI

card must have a unique SCSI

identification number. The sixteen (16)

possible identification numbers are 0

through 15. When you select a number

for the Glyph drive, be sure that no

other ultra wide SCSI device, or your ultra wide SCSI card

(which is usually set to 7), has the same number.

Setting the ID Switch

Based on the previous discussion, you are now ready to set

the SCSI ID Selector Switch on your new Glyph drive. The

Glyph tabletop’s SCSI ID Switch is located over the power

button, behind the sliding door on the front of the unit.

The Glyph Hot Swap Tabletop’s ID Switch is found on the

back of the enclosure, above the power cable input. The

Glyph rack mounted drive SCSI ID Switch(s) is(are) on the

front panel of the unit.

If you found that your ultra wide SCSI card did have one

or more ultra wide SCSI devices connected, make sure that

you select a unique SCSI ID number for the Glyph drive

that is not currently in use. Push the plus or minus button

on the SCSI ID selector switch to increment or decrement

the SCSI ID number. Once it is set, you will not have to

change it again unless you add more devices to your ultra

wide SCSI bus.

You must turn off the power to both the computer &

Glyph drive when switching SCSI ID numbers and then

restart in order for the drive to recognize the SCSI ID

change.
