4.4Configuring and Installing an Internal Tape Drive with SCSI Interface

This section provides information for configuring and installing a tape drive with SCSI interface into a system. See “Configuring and Installing a Tabletop Tape Drive” on page 4-20for information on configuring and installing a tabletop tape drive.
