HP StorageWorks DAT Tape Drives User Guide 23
Where should the SCSI terminator be?
Termination must be present at two and ONLY two positions on the SCSI bus—at the beginning of the
SCSI bus and at the end of the SCSI bus. Termination is normally enabled by default on the HBA and
most internal SCSI cables have a terminator attached. This will usually be a small, rectangular block of
plastic attached to the cable end and marked ‘SCSI Terminator’.
Therefore, assuming the HBA is the first device on the bus, you should check that the second terminator is
placed after the last device, as shown in figure 9, item 2.
Secure the drive
NOTE: The server latches and side views of your server model may not be exactly the same as
shown in the illustrations. Please refer also to you server documentation.
Mounting hardware used (HP ProLiant)
Ensure that you use the correct mounting rails or locating screws, as described in ”Attach mounting
hardware” on page 18. The server also incorporates a locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in
place.
1. Push the server latch down to lock the tape drive into position, as shown in Figure 9.
