Chapter 3. Preparing the Library

Library SCSI ID

In both single and dual bus mode, the Library SCSI ID switch on the rear panel determines the SCSI ID for SCSI Bus 1.

In Single-Bus Mode With the library power off, set the SCSI ID for Bus 1 using the Library SCSI ID switch, then power the library on, and check that the SCSI Bus 2 ID is set to off (the factory default). The SCSI Bus 2 ID setting is on the third Configuration screen.

In Dual-Bus Mode With the library power off, set the SCSI ID for Bus 1 using the Library SCSI ID switch, then power the library on, and set the SCSI Bus 2 ID setting to a unique SCSI ID. The SCSI Bus 2 ID setting is on the third Configuration screen.

Note: Dual bus units are shipped with SCSI Bus 2 disabled and Drive 3 and Drive 4 will report FAULT until the bus is configured for your system. Set SCSI Bus 2 ID in the third Configuration screen to an appropriate setting for the SCSI cable connected to SCSI Bus 2.

Likewise, if the library is in the dual-bus mode and SCSI ID 2 is set incorrectly, the library will power up with an error until the second SCSI bus ID is properly configured.

Setting the Library SCSI ID for Bus 1

Using the Spectra Logic screwdriver included with the library, turn the library SCSI ID switch until the arrow on the switch indicates the SCSI ID you want.
