Some SCSI cables will provide self termination and do not require terminators.
To terminate the bus at the drive, attach a SCSI terminator (not provided) to the drive
connector before attaching the SCSI cable.
However, if your SCSI adapter does not provide termination power, you
must place a jumper in the enable termination power position -3- on the jumperblock -2-.
Check the documentation that come with the PC or SCSI adapter for more information.

NOTE: The backup/restore software might also provide write protection for the cartridge.
For writing data, use only DLT data cartridges
Any of the following data cartridges are acceptable and require no
formatting or other media conditioning before use.
Selecting Record Capacity
You might want to decrease tape capacity for compatibility with older tapedrives, or
increase capacity for better performance.
