Seagate DAT Drive Installation Manual

Installing an external DAT drive
The Seagate external DAT drive is a compact external
unit that connects to the host computer as a turnkey
subsystem. External drive installation involves three
main steps:
1.
Configuring the drive
2.
Connecting the SCSI interface cable
3.
Connecting the power cord
Configuring an external DAT drive
The following is the default configuration for Seagate
external DAT drives:
•
The drive reads or writes both MRS and non-MRS
4-mm media.
•
Parity checking is disabled.
•
DDS-DC data compression is enabled (applies only to
models that support data compression)
•
The power-on self-test diagnostics of the drive are
disabled.
•
Termination power is supplied to the SCSI bus.
Note.
Some configuration settings in the EEPROM
can be changed using the SCSI Mode Select command.
SCSI command information for these drives is
provided in the product description manual.
Setting the SCSI ID
Make sure that the drive is turned off; then set the SCSI
ID for the drive using the + and – push-button switch on
the back of the external drive. Figure 7 on page 12 shows
this switch, as well as the two SCSI interface connectors,
on/off switch, and the power-cord connector.
Note.
The drive must be restarted, or a bus reset
must occur for any change in SCSI ID to take effect.
