Note | For 9840 drives only: |
| The drive’s SCSI ID and bus status can be entered from the |
| library’s operator panel if the drive has firmware version 1.24 or |
| higher. Check the drive’s firmware version, by selecting DRIVE |
| INFO from the Main Menu. |
| Configuring a 9840 drive might involve more than setting the |
| drive’s SCSI ID and bus status. For more information about 9840 |
| drive configuration options and instructions, refer to the 9840 |
| Tape Drive Service Manual. |

Two entries complete the configuration options for each SCSI drive:
■SCSI ID
■Bus status (on or off bus)
Note | “On Bus” means that the drive is on the same SCSI bus as the |
| library. “Off Bus” means that the drive is not on the same SCSI |
| bus as the library. |

Set the drive SCSI IDs and bus status from the drive configuration menu. You can enter both values for each drive at the same time:
1.At the main Configuration Menu, press an arrow button until the cursor underscores DRIVE CONFIG.
2.Press the [SELECT] button.
The screen will list all installed drives, and the cursor will align with the first drive on the list.
An example of the format is:
00 HP LTO ID: 01
ON BUS: ON
The first two digits are the drive’s logical number (the number that the library has assigned the drive). The tape library sets this number during its automatic configuration sequence (at
