Configuration jumperblocks
Most SCSI adapters provide termination power.
NOTE: The SCSI adapter can be part of the computer system board
or can be an adapter installed in an expansion slot.
Density changes can occur only when writing from the beginning of the tape. You cannot mix capacities on a
single data cartridge.

5
SCSI disable parity jumper
However, if your SCSI adapter does not provide termination power, you
must place a jumper in the enable termination power position 3 on the jumperblock 2.
Check the documentation that come with the PC or SCSI adapter for more information.
If the system does not generate parity, you can disable parity checking by placing a jumper in the disable parity position
5 on the jumperblock 4.
The DLT-drive is shipped with default SCSI ID address 5, use the below table for setup the DLT-drive SCSI ID on SCSI ID jumperblock 1.

Selecting Data Cartridges
The front of the cartridge has an orange Write Protect indicator 1,
and Write Protect switch 2 to prevent accidential erasure. Slide the switch to the right
to write enable 3 or to the left to write protect 4.
You can change the Write Protect switch before or after inserting the tape.
If you change the Write Protect switch while the tape is inserted, there is a delay of a few seconds before
the Write Protect indicator changes.
NOTE: The backup/restore software might also provide write protection for the cartridge.
For writing data, use only DLT data cartridges
Any of the following data cartridges are acceptable and require no
formatting or other media conditioning before use.
Selecting Record Capacity
You might want to decrease tape capacity for compatibility with older tapedrives, or
increase capacity for better performance.
Insert a tape cartridge, and wait for the tape motion to stop and the Tape in Use indicator
to light steadily. The capacity indicators show the current tape capacity.
If they are not lit, it means the tape is blank.
Press Select button to change density.
When the Density Override indicator is blinking, you can press the Select button to
change the recording capacity of the tape.
Press the Select button until the desired capacity indicator is flashing.
The indicator will continue flashing until the tape drive begins recording in the new capacity. Then, the new capacity
indicator is on steadily (the old capacity indicator is off).
