Connecting the Power
Cable
1
Make sure that the power switch on the rear of the
AIT autoloader is in the off position (a is
depressed).
2
Connect one end of the power cable to the power
supply connector and the other end to the power
outlet.
Connecting to the Host
Computer
Connect the AIT autoloader and the host computer with
a SCSI cable. This section explains general connection
steps. To connect, use an Wide Ultra2 SCSI LVD cable
commonly sold in stores. However, when using a model
equipped with an AIT-3 or AIT-4 drive, use an Ultra 160
SCSI LVD cable. The autoloader side uses the 68-pin
half pitch connector.
When connecting other SCSI devices along with the
AIT autoloader, see “Connecting SCSI Peripheral
Devices” in Chapter 2 “Installation” in the “Operating
Instructions” (PDF).
Caution
• Do not connect the AIT autoloader to the HVD (High
Voltage Differential) SCSI bus. If connected, the
autoloader or other devices on the SCSI bus may be
damaged.
• When connecting the Wide SCSI cable, turn off all of
the connecting devices, including the AIT autoloader
and the host computer.
• When connecting the AIT autoloader as the last device
on the SCSI bus, be sure to attach the provided
terminator.
• In LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI, make the
total length of the SCSI cable (internal and external),
which connects the host computer and the device at
the end of the SCSI bus, shorter than 12 m (39.4 ft.).
(The length of the AIT autoloader internal cable is
0.75 m (29.5 in.).)
• SCSI cables cannot be branched.
Notes
• For information about the SCSI bus, see “SCSI
Specifications” in the “Appendix” in the “Operating
Instructions” (PDF).
• Prepare the necessary SCSI cables. For information
about SCSI cable specifications, see “SCSI Cable and
Terminator Specifications” in the “Appendix” in the
“Operating Instructions” (PDF).
1
Confirm that the power to the host computer and
AIT autoloader are off.
2
Connect the SCSI cable and terminator as shown in
the figure below.
1 Use a commercial SCSI cable to connect the AIT
autoloader to the host computer.
2 Connect the provided terminator to connector.
