Ensure that the connector on each end of the cable is fully seated.
4 Disconnect the tape drive from the host system, turn off the tape
drive, and turn it on again to perform a POST (see Power-On Self-
Test on page 113).
5 If you have a SCSI tape drive—remove all devices from the SCSI bus.
Connect the tape drive directly to the host computer and terminate it
(see Connecting the Cables and Terminating the SCSI Bus
on page 74
for internal tape drives or Connecting the Tape Drive to the Host
Computer and Terminating the SCSI Bus on page 103 for tabletop
tape drives).
Confirm that the tape drive and host computer are communicating
properly before adding other devices.
6 If you have a Fibre Channel tape drive—look at the rear panel to see
if the Fibre Channel cable is correctly attached (see Connecting the
Cables on page 86).
If the link light is illuminated, you have a working connection with
the Fibre Channel network.
7 If you have a SAS tape drive -- look at the rear panel and make sure
the SAS cable is correctly attached (see Connecting the Cables
on
page 95).
8 Ensure that the operating system (modules, patches, and drivers),
backup software, and tape drive are compatible. See
www.quantum.com for the most current compatibility information.
If you cannot identify or correct the problem, contact customer support
(see Customer Support
on page xviii for contact information). Have the
model and serial number available when you call. You can find these
numbers on the bottom of the tabletop tape drive enclosure and on the
top of the internal and library tape drives.
