Check the drive's SCSI ID

Your HP StorageWorks DAT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3. Each device on the SCSI bus
must have an unique SCSI ID number. The drive can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 15. Do
not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the SCSI controller. SCSI ID 0 is typically assigned to the boot
disk and should also not be used unless the tape drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if possible. If
not, to equalize the electromagnetic charges, touch a bare metal part of the server (such as the back
plate) before you remove the tape drive from its bag.
