Step 2 — Removing Power from the System
1. Power-off the system.
2. Disconnect the power cord from both the electrical outlet and the system.
Step 3 — Setting the SCSI ID
Your tape drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 6, 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. We do not recommend installing the drive onto a narrow SCSI bus, as this will restrict
performance.
NOTICE: 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 computer (such as the back plate) before you remove the tape drive from its bag.
To set the SCSI ID:
1. Locate the SCSI ID connector (see number 2 in
2. Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 6. Make sure the ID is not used by another device.
3. Referring to Figure 5, find the ID number that you chose. Then, place jumpers on the connector pins as shown (use a pair of needle-nose pliers to connect the
jumpers to the pins that are shaded).

Step 4 — Preparing the Mounting Bay in Your System
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to the system or tape drive, ensure that the system power cord is disconnected before you
install the drive.
Refer to your system's documentation for instructions on how to prepare the mounting bay to receive the tape drive.
Step 5 — Attaching Mounting Hardware
If your system requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount them on the tape drive in this step.
If your system does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to step 6.
Step 6 — Installing the Drive
Slide the tape drive into the open bay, aligning the tray or rails with the slots in the bay, as shown in
Figure 6. Install the Drive
Figure 3 in the Introduction. The SCSI ID is set using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the drive.
