C1557A Dat - Autoloader, not found on SCSI-Bus

Hello,
i??ve purchased an other Loader, a used one.
This Drive is not found on the SCSI-Bus.
The 2 Leds are both on and the Tape-Drive
doesn??t initialize.

What can i do ?

Marco,
- which SCSI adapter do you use?
- which leds are showing what - there are 3 (three) leds on the unit (excluding power led of external unit);
- what LCD shows?
- did you check cables and termination?
- did you check autoloader option?
- did you check SCSI Id set at the back not conflicting with other devices?
- did you check dip switches at the bottom of the unit?

Hi Eugeny,
i??ve an Adaptec 29160 and temporary only
the Autoloader on the 50pin Connector.
Termination is OK, the LCD shows "drive-
comms-error" and the Leds of the integrated
Tape drive are lightened constantly !
The internal Tape doesn??t react, it doesn??t
even initialize (Spin up the head) !

Looks like you've already disassembled unit... I do not know how it looks from the inside but if possibe I would suggest to connect internal drive with ONLY power lines to see if it will work w/o interface connected. If it will fail then drive is dead. If not then maybe something wrong with the interface/internal bus

Hello Eugeny,

i??ve connected only the internal.
It didn??t react in any way.
only the 2 Leds are shining constant.
It was not found on SCSI - BUS.
