Setting the Internal Tape Drive SCSI ID

Each device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID address assigned to it. For specific
recommendations for assigning SCSI IDs, refer to your system or SCSI controller documentation.
Set the SCSI ID by using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the tape drive. This section discusses
setting the SCSI ID on the internal tape drive via the jumper block.

Figure 4-1. Detail of the Empty SCSI ID Jumper Block

You can configure internal tape drives for SCSI ID addresses that range from 0 to 15 in one of two
ways:
Jumper the 10-pin SCSI ID block located on the back of the tape drive
•
Set the SCSI ID through firmware in a library setting. (The firmware default = SCSI ID 5 and
•
assumes no jumpers are installed on the jumper block.).
The default setting for the tape drive is 5; the host adapter setting is typically SCSI ID 7. If you choose
to omit all jumpers from the SCSI ID block, the tape drive will use the default setting of 5.
