Setting the SCSI ID with a Remote Switch
If you want to set the SCSI ID remotely, you can attach a remote switch assembly (not provided with the tape drive) to the tape drive’s SCSI ID jumper block. To set the SCSI ID with a remote switch, follow these steps:
1.Locate the SCSI ID jumper block on the back of the tape drive, as shown in Figure 1.
2.If necessary, remove the jumpers from the pins.
3.Connect a remote switch to the jumper block. Ensure that the remote switch is no more than
30.5 cm (12 inches) from the jumper block. See Table 1 on page 9 for connector requirements.
4.Make sure that the DIP switches (Figure 1) are set to a SCSI ID of 0.
5.Change the settings on the remote switch to the correct SCSI ID for your configuration. The switch settings should emulate the jumper positions shown in Figure 3.
Note: For specific information about pin assignments for the SCSI ID jumper block, refer to the
Preparing the Tape Drive for the SCSI Bus
The SCSI bus that you attach the tape drive to must be terminated correctly to ensure proper operation. The devices that are physically located at each end of the SCSI cable must have terminators installed. All other devices on the SCSI cable must not have terminators installed.
If the tape drive will be located at the end of the SCSI bus, you must terminate the tape drive. The procedure you use depends on whether the tape drive uses a
