Attaching a Tape Drive to the NonStop S-Series Server
To attach a tape drive to any PMF CRU or IOMF CRU:
1. Determine which PMF CRU or IOMF CRU should be connected to the tape drive.
2. Using the SCSI cable connector with the thumbscrews, plug the other end of the
SCSI cable into the differential SCSI port on the appropriate PMF CRU, IOMF
CRU, or IOMF 2 CRU.
•
NonStop S7000, S7400, S70000, and S72000 PMF CRUs and IOMF CRUs
are equipped with an external SCSI passthrough terminator. Attach the SCSI
cable to this SCSI passthrough terminator, which is factory-installed on the
differential SCSI port.
•
On some CRUs, the SCSI terminator is inside the CRU. In this case, attach the
tape drive cable to the external connector.
The CRUs that contain an internal SCSI terminator include:
°
IOMF 2 CRUs
°
S7x00 PMF CRUs of model S7600 and higher
°
Sxx000 PMF CRUs of model S74000 and higher
3. Tighten the thumbscrews on the cable connector by hand or use a small slotted
screwdriver.
To attach tape drives to a 6760 ServerNet device adapter, see the 6760 ServerNet/DA
Manual.

Caution. Never remove the SCSI passthrough terminator from the differential SCSI port. The
SCSI passthrough terminator must be in place to a connect a tape drive to these PMF CRUs or
IOMF CRUs. If it is not present, contact your service provider.
