Configuring an internal Fibre Channel drive
Before you install the tape drive in your computer, you may
need to configure the drive's hard-assigned loop identifier
and other drive features. Jumpers located on the back of the
drive (see Figure 7) are used to configure the ID.

Jumper settings
Configuration jumpers on the back of the drive control the
assigned loop identifier, which the drive will attempt to
acquire during the LIHA (hard address) phase of the Loop
Initialization Process (LIP). The jumpers can also be used for
remote ID selection. Figure 8 shows the location of the
assigned loop identifier jumper pins on the Viper 200 FC
drive.
Always lay the drive either on top of the antistatic bag or
place it inside of the bag to reduce the chance of damage
from static discharge.
