Setting the SCSI ID

After you have unpacked the tape drive, you can set the tape drive’s SCSI ID. You can use either of the following methods:

Attach jumpers (shunts) to the pins on the tape drive’s SCSI ID jumper block. Jumpers are already installed on the jumper block when the tape drive is shipped.

Connect a remote switch to the SCSI ID jumper block on the back of the tape drive.

Setting the SCSI ID with Jumpers

To set the SCSI ID using jumpers, follow these steps:

1.Locate the SCSI ID jumper block on the back of the tape drive, as shown in Figure 1.
