Before you begin

!
Caution. If you are installing an internal drive,
observe the following precautions to avoid damaging
the drive through electrostatic discharge.
•
Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.
•
Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag,
touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static
electricity buildup from your body.
•
Hold the drive only by its edges and avoid direct contact
with any electronic components.
•
If you need to put down the drive, lay it on top of the
antistatic bag or place it inside the bag.

SCSI cables and connectors

These Seagate DAT drives can be connected to a standard,
single-ended SCSI or SCSI-2 interface. A 50-conductor flat
cable or a 25-signal twisted-pair cable may be used to
connect the drive to a SCSI host adapter. The cable should
not be longer than 6 meters (19.5 feet).
The internal DAT drive provides a 50-pin, dual-row single-
ended SCSI connector at the back of the drive.
The external DAT drive provides two 50-pin, shielded
connectors (ANSI Alternative 2) on the rear panel of the
drive. These connectors consist of two rows of ribbon
contacts spaced 2.16 mm (0.085 in) apart. Either connector
can be used as a SCSI IN or SCSI OUT connection.
