Installing Scalar 24 Hardware
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the standard Scalar 24 hardware. Standard
hardware installation includes:
• Connecting to a SCSI bus
• Connecting the power cord
• Inserting tape cartridges in magazines
For instructions on installing optional hardware, see Installing Optional Hardware
on page 29.
Connecting to a SCSI Bus
If your host computer system does not have native SCSI capability and the host adapter you are using is
not installed, please install it. Refer to the manual that came with your host adapter for specific directions.
When the host adapter card is installed, return to this point in the manual.
Check to ensure that the interface cable you are using has the appropriate connectors on each end. The
Scalar 24 uses a 68-pin LVD SCSI connector on the rear panel.
• If your host computer’s SCSI connector is different from the one on the Scalar 24, you will need to
obtain an adapter or a different cable. Consult your dealer or ATAC if you need help.
• The interface cable must be shielded–ADIC can supply you with the correct type.
Follow the procedure below to connect the SCSI cable and terminator:
1 Connect the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the Scalar 24.
Note
Store the CD-ROM and keys in a safe location for preventative maintenance or
service activity.
