Step 3. Setting the SCSI ID, termination, and parity

Use the following illustration to locate the SCSI configuration jumper blocks.

SCSI ID Connector Block

Front Bezel

A jumper must always be placed across Pin Pair 9 / 10 if any

Pin Pair 1 / 2

SCSI ID other than the default (5) is selected.

If

the

tape

drive

is

the

last

device

on

the

SCSI

bus,

the

bus

must

be

terminated at the

drive. Some

SCSI

cables

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.

Most

SCSI

adapters

provide

termination

power. However,

if

your

SCSI

adapter

does

not

provide

termination

power,

you

must

place

a

jumper

in

the enable

termination

power

position

on

the

jumper

block.

Attach

a

SCSI

terminator

(not

provided)

to

the

SCSI

connector

on

the

drive.

For

more information,

refer

to

the

documentation

that

comes

with

your

computer

or

SCSI

adapter.

If

you

install

the

tape

drive

in

an

SCSI

external

storage

enclosure

such

as

the

IBM

3503-BOX

storage

enclosure,

and

the

enclosure

is

at the end of the

SCSI bus,

refer

to

your

enclosure

documentation for information on termination.

Review

the

information

that

comes

with

your

computer

regarding

parity

generation.

If

your

system

does

not

generate

parity,

you

can

disable

parity

checking

by

placing a

jumper

in

the

disable

parity

position

on

the

jumper block.
