1 Make sure you are connecting to a recommended SCSI bus type. Do

not connect the tape drive to the same bus as a RAID controller. For

optimum performance, we recommend that your Quantum DAT 160

drive is installed on a dedicated SCSI bus. If it is not, do not connect it

to the same bus as your disk drive.

2 Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any

connected peripherals.

3 Attach the VHD connection on the SCSI cable to the server’s external

SCSI connector and secure it by tightening the screws.

4 Attach the HD connection on the SCSI cable to one of the SCSI

connectors on the rear panel of the tape drive and secure it by

tightening the screws.

5 Connect the LVD terminator to the drive’s other SCSI connector and

tighten the screws to secure it.

Caution: To avoid damaging the computer or tape drive, ensure

that both are powered off while you attach the SCSI cable.
