Step 2: Check the drive's SCSI ID
Your Ultrium drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3, but it can be assigned any unused
ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for
the SCSI controller, or SCSI ID 0, which is typically assigned to the boot disk.
1
Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 3.
2
Change the tape drive's SCSI ID, if necessary.
Use a small screwdriver or a ball-point pen to press the indented SCSI ID selector buttons on
the rear panel (see Figure 3) until the required value is displayed. Do not use a pencil
because small bits of lead could contaminate the drive.
Note The computer and the tape drive SCSI IDs are only checked at power-on. To change the SCSI
ID after installation, power down both the computer and the tape drive, change the drive's
SCSI ID, power up the tape drive, and then power up the computer.
