discharge static electricity from your body before handling the tape drive. (Touch a known grounded surface, such as your computer’s metal chassis.)
■If you must lay the tape drive down, place it into or on top of the antistatic bag.
Setting the SCSI ID
After unpacking the tape drive, you can change the tape drive’s default SCSI ID, if necessary. Do not use SCSI ID
7.This SCSI ID is used by your SCSI adapter card. You can use any of the following methods to set the ID:
■
■
Set the DIP switches on the rear of the tape drive.
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.
These methods are explained in the following sections.
Important
If you are using a remote switch or jumpers to set the SCSI ID, make sure that the DIP switches are set to SCSI ID 0 (the default). Similarly, if you are using the DIP switches to set the SCSI ID, make sure that the remote switch or jumpers are set to SCSI ID 0.
If you set both the DIP switches and the remote switch to a particular SCSI ID, the actual SCSI ID will be the logical OR of the two settings. For example, if the remote switch is set for SCSI ID 1 and the DIP switches are set for SCSI ID 2, the actual SCSI ID will be 3.
