Step 1: Check the Drive's SCSI ID

Note For optimal performance, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you install
Figure 2.1 Recommended SCSI configuration for an external drive
DLT drive
SCSI terminator
your DLT drive on a dedicated SCSI bus. This arrangement is shown in
figure 2.1.
Your HP SureStore DLT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 5, but
it can be assigned any unused ID in the following ranges:
HP SureStore DLT 40e
HP SureStore DLT 70e/80e
Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the SCSI controller. You can
use SCSI ID 0 provided the drive is on a separate SCSI bus from the boot
disk (as is recommended).
Whether you intend to change the SCSI ID or not, always check the ID
when installing the drive to ensure that it has not accidentally been
changed.
