System may not be configured
to recognize the interface ID.
Configure system to recognize
the SDLT 600 tape drive
system’s ID.
Interface ID may not be unique. Change the interface ID and
reconfigure the system. The new
ID becomes effective at the next
power on or interface bus reset.
Interface adapter parameters
may not be correct.
Check interface adapter
documentation.
Interface signal cable may be
loose.
Ensure interface cable is fully
seated at each connector end.
Interface terminator may be
loose or not present on the bus.
Ensure correct, secure
termination of bus.
Interface bus may not be
terminated correctly.
If the SDLT 600 tape drive
system is last or only device on
bus (except for adapter), be
certain the terminator is
installed on the SDLT 600 tape
drive system.
If the SDLT 600 tape drive
system is not the last or only
device on the bus, check the
cable connections and ensure
that the bus is properly
terminated at each end.
Interface terminator may not be
at end of bus or more than two
terminators may be present.
Ensure that a terminator is
installed at each end of the bus.
One terminator is usually
installed at the host end of the
bus.
Interface bus may be too long. Limit bus length to ANSI
interface standard for the
interface being used.
