Installation Steps

DLT-V4 Product Manual

If you attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus, you must use a 

customer-supplied 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 

pins. These adapters are sometimes labeled 

.

Make sure the total length of the SCSI bus does not exceed the ANSI SCSI 

standard of 19 feet (6 meters) for an SE SCSI bus, 40 feet (12 meters) for an 

LVD SCSI bus with multiple devices, or 82 feet (25 meters) for an LVD 

SCSI bus with a single device.
