configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came with the tape drive, based on the following guidelines:

aEach device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number (narrow SCSI devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI devices use IDs from 0 to 15). Set the drive's SCSI ID to avoid conflicts with other devices on the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID setting, see the documentation provided with the drive.

NOTE: There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number.

bSCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated. Enable the tape drive's termination if it is the last device in a chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI controller.

2Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet.

3Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 90.

4Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 85.

5If you are installing a drive into an empty bay:

a Remove the EMI filler. See "Removing an EMI Filler" on page 88.

b Remove the front bezel insert. See "Removing the Front Bezel Insert" on page 87.

If you are installing a new drive into a bay that has an optical or a tape drive, see "Removing an Optical or a Tape Drive" on page 102.

6Attach the three shoulder screws to the drive, one screw on the lower front screw hole on the right side and two screws on the lower screw holes on the left side. See Figure 3-12.

NOTE: If the optical or tape drive you are installing does not have shoulder screws, remove the three shoulder screws from the old drive or the back of the 5.25-inch front bezel insert.
