Placing the DLT2500XT Stacker

After you have set the stacker’s SCSI ID, you are ready to install the desktop DLT2500XT

stacker.

After placing the DLT2500XT stacker in its intended location, go on to the following

sections for information on connecting the SCSI cable and power cord properly.

You can position the stacker

• on a work surface area near the host system

• on top of the Challenge or Onyx deskside chassis

Caution: Do not stand the DLT2500XT stacker on its side and do not place it on the

ﬂoor or on top of a rack system.

Connecting the DLT2500XT Stacker to the Host

To obtain the best performance from your DLT2500XT stacker, connect the unit as the

only device on the SCSI bus. Use the following procedures to properly connect your

DLT2500XT stacker to the host system:

1. Power off the host system.

2. Plug one end of the SCSI cable into the host’s external SCSI connector. On Challenge

and Onyx deskside and rackmount systems, the differential SCSI connector is

located on the I/O panel behind the door, as shown in Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3.

Note: The DLT2500XT stacker is a differential SCSI device only and must be

connected to a differential bus.
