Seagate DAT Drive Installation Manual—English

Installing an internal DAT drive

Internal drive installation involves three main steps:
1. Configuring the drive
2. Mounting the drive
3. Connecting power and interface cables
Note: Internal Seagate DAT drives come in two mounting
configurations. Drives configured for 5.25-inch bays are
identical to those designed for 3.5-inch bays except that
drive mounting brackets have been added on each side
of the drive. Installation procedures are the same for both
drive configurations.

Configuring an internal DAT drive

Before you install the tape drive in your computer, you may
need to set the drive's SCSI ID or other drive features. Most
features are set using a bank of dip-switches on the
underside of the drive (see Figure 1 below). To control SCSI
termination and terminator power or to configure the drive for
remote SCSI address selection, use the jumpers on the back
of the drive (above the interface and power connectors).
Note: The dip-switch and jumper configurations shown
here apply only to Seagate drives whose model numbers
begin with the letters "STD." For older DAT drives, see
the Seagate web site (www.seagate.com) or contact
Seagate technical support, as described on page A-39.
