Shielded or double-shielded, as required to meet EMI 
specifications

Impedance match with cable terminators of 132 ohms

Characteristic impedance between 90 and 132 ohms (required)

34-pair twisted-pair

Each end of twisted pair ground must be connected to chassis 
ground

When calculating the overall length of the bus, be sure to include 
the internal cabling of the module, which is 27 inches (69 cm.) for 
all models

Cables of different impedance should not be used together

*For additional specifications, refer to ANSI X3.131-1994 or later.

NOTE:  

This equipment has been tested for 

electromagnetic emissions and immunity using good 

quality shielded cables. If you use poor quality or 

unshielded cables, they may not comply with national 

and international rules.

Computer 

1)

Verify that the following hardware/software are available:

This instruction describes installing your PowerLoader. It includes:

Configuration

a. Drives and the controller (library) are daisy-chained together

b. The host system has a compatible SCSI controller and the 

appropriate driver software installed. (If you have questions 
about installation for specific host systems, call your Technical 
Support representative.)

c. The cables you are using meet the required specifications for type 

and length

d. The terminator type matches your system.

2)

If the  PowerLoader is the only SCSI device you are connecting to the 
host, do the following:

a. Connect the cable from the host to one of the SCSI connectors 

b. Attach the terminator to the outgoing SCSI connector

3)

If the  PowerLoader is one of several units you are connecting to the host, 
connect them in a daisy-chain by doing the following:

Connect the cable from the host, to one of the SCSI connectors of the 
first SCSI device

Connect another cable from an unused connector of the first device to 
an unused connector of the second SCSI device, and so on. You can 
connect them in any order

SHIP

RUN

Visually inspect the shipping containers and notify your carrier immediately of any 
damage.  Verify the contents against the packing list. If parts are missing or the 
equipment is damaged, notify your representative. Always save the containers and 
packing materials for any future reshipment.

To set up the PowerLoader, do the following:

Follow the directions in the shipping container to unpack the PowerLoader.

Save the packing materials in case you need to return the unit for repairs.

You do not have to assemble anything.

Place the PowerLoader on a stable horizontal surface with at least a 2-inch clearance 
behind the chassis to allow sufficient cooling air to flow freely from the fan, or mount 
your unit in an equipment rack using the Rack Mount Installation section found in the 
User and Installation Manual or Rack Mount Quick Install card.

NOTE:  

You must unpark the shuttle before installation and 

park the shuttle before shipping.

Parking the Shuttle

1)

Make sure the power cord is disconnected from line power. 

2)

Locate the shuttle retention clip on the back of the unit.

3)

Turn the clip to the RUN position by pulling it away from the back of the 
unit and rotating it clockwise 180 degrees. Follow the arrow on the back of 
the unit.

4)

Release the clip, allowing it to fit into the stow slot.

Parking the Shuttle

1)

Make sure the power cord is disconnected from line power.

2)

Locate the shuttle retention clip on the back of the unit.

3)

Turn the clip to the SHIP position by pulling it away from the back of the 
unit and rotating it counterclockwise 180 degrees. Follow the arrow on the 
back of the unit.

4)

Release the clip, allowing it to fit into the center of the leadscrew bearing.   

Installing the PowerLoader (continued)

Configure the PowerLoader

You can change configuration option settings if necessary from the Control 
Panel. Before changing any settings, refer to your host system 
documentation or contact your Technical Support representative.

The SCSI defaults are: parity on; DLT1 Bus ID = 4; DLT2 Bus ID = 5; 
Library Bus ID = 6.

Configuration Example – Setting SCSI ID

Turn the module on, and wait until the Power-On Self Test (POST) concludes 
and the Default Screen displays:

DLT1: No Tape

Loader Idle

DLT2: No Tape

Attach the terminator to last unused SCSI connector of the last 
device in the chain

4)

If the PowerLoader is connected to 2 hosts at the same time:

In the two-host configuration, a separate SCSI bus runs from each 
host to a different drive. As shown in the following illustration, each 
incoming SCSI bus attaches to the left connector of each pair. Place a 
terminator at the right connector of each pair.

Connect to the Power Source

The AC power cable is a standard grounding AC cable, which attaches to an 
IEC-compatible connector on the rear panel. Connect the cable to the 
connector on the module, and connect the other end to a reliably grounded 
AC outlet or rack power outlet.

To maintain product safety compliance, use a power cord with a suitable 
electrical rating, UL Listed (USA), CSA Certified (Canada), or Harmonized 
marked <Har> or nationally certified, (Europe).
