IBM HH LTO manual Preparing for installation, Setting the SCSI ID

vFor many IBM computers, press F1 during the startup after the memory check completes. Other adapters show SCSI settings when you press Ctrl A. Check the documentation that comes with your computer or SCSI adapter for information on how to view configuration information.

vUse SCSI adapter utility programs, if available.

vInspect the installed SCSI devices to see how the jumpers that determine the IDs are set.

Step 2. Preparing for installation

To prepare for installation:

1.Unpack the tape drive and store the packaging. You will need the packaging if you return the drive for service.

2.If you are installing the drive in an external storage enclosure, turn off the enclosure.

3.Turn off all attached devices.

4.Turn off the computer.

5.Disconnect all cables from the computer and all attached devices; then open the computer. For specific information on opening your computer, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

Attention: Tape drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. The drive is wrapped in a static-protective bag to prevent damage.

6.Before opening the static-protective bag containing the tape drive, touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. Remove the drive from the static-protective bag. If you must put the drive down, place the drive on the static-protective bag. Do not touch any exposed components of the tape drive. Instead, handle it carefully by the edges.
