Dip-switch settings
The default dip switch settings for Scorpion 4, 8, and 24 DAT
drives are listed below:
•

•
The drive reads or writes both MRS and non-MRS
4-mm media.
•
Parity checking is disabled.
•
Data compression is enabled.
•
Power-on self-test diagnostics are disabled.
The drive is shipped with SCSI termination disabled. If the

Changing dip-switch settings
Figure 2 on the following page shows the location of dip
switches on the underside of a Seagate internal DAT drive.
