Rear Panel Connectors

This section describes how to use the rear panel connectors that are 

common to all models of the tape drive. 
For the locations of these connectors, see the following illustrations: 

• SCSI— 

• Fibre Channel— 

• SAS  —

Pin assignments for the 4-pin power connector are listed here. Pin 1 is 

indicated by a solid red dot in the illustrations.

The connector for the library/tape drive interface is an RS-422 serial port 
set to 9600 baud, 8 bits per character, no parity, and 1 stop bit. All data 

sent to or from the library/tape drive interface consists of bit-wise 

encoded hex values. 
This 10-pin loader connector provides the signals used when the tape 

drive is part of a loader/library configuration. The loader connector 

provides a “universal port” that can support various serial interface 

protocols. The electrical signals from the DLT-S4 tape drive need to be 

translated to the appropriate serial interface protocol by a hardware and 

software interface system.
The Loader/Library Controller interface conforms to the T10 Committee 

Automation/Drive – Transport Protocol (ADT) Specification (see 

).
