For mechanical mounting specifications, please refer to Figure 1.
Allowed mounting position is either horizontal with the indicator LEDs to the
right, or vertical with the LEDs up.
The drive occupies a half-size 5.25-inch slot with standard holes for mounting
screws on both sides of the drive chassis and at the bottom of the drive.
Figure 1 Mounting specifications
Important!
Mounting screw
requirements
• Only M3 (metric) screws must be used for mounting the drive
• Maximum permitted screw penetration: 2.5 mm
• Minimum required screw penetration: 2.0 mm
• Screw torque, mounting screws: 0.5 Nm
• Screws are supplied with all the Tandberg 220/420/820LTO drive
variants
• Bags with 4 screws and 4 SCSI ID jumpers are available
(Ordering no. 43 32 65)
Do not use longer screws or higher screw torque than specified!

SCSI Identification on Internal Tape Drive
Make sure that the drive unit has the proper SCSI-ID before it is connected to a
computer system. Refer to manuals for host computer and application software to
obtain the correct ID.
For correct mounting of ID-jumpers at the rear of the internal drive, please refer to
Figure 3 and Table 1 for internal tape drive.
Figure 3 Drive connectors
The factory default drive
number setting is SCSI ID = 2.
If the drive has to be set up
with a different unit number,
the jumpers (on the Service
Connector) have to be
connected according to
Table 1.
Example: SCSI ID = 2

Termination Internal Tape Drive
The Internal SCSI-bus cable must be terminated as shown in Figure 4 according to
SCSI specifications. If the tape drive is the last device on the bus, the bus must be
terminated within 10 cm of the tape drive connection.
Tandberg LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3 have a combined SCSI-LVD/SE interface
embedded. The PC-98 Specification specifies that the termination of the SCSI-bus
system is a part of the SCSI-cable and not a part of the SCSI-device. As a result,
termination cannot be turned on or off directly on the tape drive itself.
For internal devices, a SCSI-cable with an integrated terminator or a separate
terminator applied to the end connector of the cable, 10 cm from the last device,
must be used.

SCSI Identification on External Tabletop
Make sure that the drive unit has the proper SCSI-ID before it is connected to a
computer system. Refer to manuals for host computer and application software to
obtain the correct ID.
External Tabletop Enclosures have a thumb-wheel switch to set the SCSI-ID for
the tape drive (see Figure 5).
