 DLT-S4 Tape Drive Quick Start Guide

2

The tape drive performs a self-diagnostic test, called a 
Power-On Self-Test (POST), each time you power it on.

3 During POST, each LED lights in sequence. When POST 

has completed successfully, the middle LED stops 
flashing and remains illuminated and the left and right 
LEDs remain off.  

4 Power off the tape drive and disconnect the power cord 

from the AC outlet.

Connecting the Tape Drive

0

To connect the tape drive:

1 Make sure the tape drive and host computer are 

powered off.  

2 Each SCSI device attached to the SCSI bus must have a 

unique SCSI ID. The tape drive’s pre-set SCSI ID is 3. If 
necessary, change the SCSI ID using the SCSI ID switch 
on the rear of the tape drive. See 

Figure 2  Setting the SCSI ID
  

3 Connect the tape drive’s lower SCSI connector to the 

host computer. Make sure the connector is firmly 
seated.

OTE

: The DLT-S4 tape drive is equipped with a soft-load  

mechanism that automatically loads tape cartridges 
into the tape drive. This mechanism is “parked” prior 
to first power-on. Upon first power-on, the soft-load 
mechanism becomes “un-parked” and ready for use. 
When moving or shipping the unit, you must “park” 
the soft-load mechanism. For instructions, see the 
DLT-S4 Product Manual.

AUTION

: Do not use SCSI ID 7 — this ID is in use by the 

SCSI card.

Terminator

4 Terminate the SCSI bus by connecting a SCSI terminator 

to the tape drive’s upper SCSI connector. See 

Figure 3  Connecting the SCSI 
Cable (Single Tape Drive) 

5 Verify that the tape drive communicates properly with 

the host computer before adding more SCSI devices to 
the SCSI bus (see 

).

6 Add SCSI devices in a daisy chain by removing the SCSI 

terminator and connecting the tape drive’s upper 
connector to the next SCSI device (see 

).

7 Terminate the last SCSI device in the daisy chain by 

connecting a terminator to the SCSI device’s next 
unused SCSI connector.

Cables (Daisy Chain) 

C

AUTION

: You must terminate the SCSI bus by 

connecting a terminator to the last SCSI device in 
the chain.
