Verify that the device is a differential SCSI device. I have seen them
in SE-SCSI and Ultra SCSI on the web. Look for the diamond logo on or
near the connector, if it has an extra layer, it's differential. If you
can count the pins, that's good too. 68 pins will be diff, 50 will be
SE.
Use the appropriate cable and connect to the appropriate controller.
If you can't find jumpers for termination, simply use an SE-SCSI
terminator. I found this page for you to help you with the dip
switches.

Once you have set the device to an unused address, follow Craig's
procedure.

Andrew,
Treat the DLT4000 like any SCSI device... Assuming that it is a
FW-SCSI, the
easy way is to
1) Make sure the DLT has the jumpers set for termination.
2) connect it to it's OWN HP6968A FW-SCSI card.
3) Re-boot the HP3000
>BO PRI

>RUN MAPPER
>EXIT
>EXIT
Mapper will produce an output that shows which paths all the devices are
connected on. I find it is best to print this out and save it.
4) Reboot the system with START (NO)Recovery
5) Logon on a manager.sys
6) SYSGEN
7) IO
8) Add the path (FW-SCSI card, pseudo and finally device)
9) The DEVICE ID is DLT4000
10) ho, keep and exit
If you are on the newer versions MPE/ix...
11) DOIONOW
If not, reboot again...
You now should have a new tape drive....
Good morning from the west coast.
HTH,
Craig
