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

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

Front Bezel

Jumper on Pin Pair 3 / 4 enables

termination power (TERM PWR).

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.
