Getting Started and Setup: Dell PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Drive User's Guide
External drive, each device must have a unique SCSI ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices on the selected server,
including the SCSI host adapter, and select an unused SCSI ID for the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape External drive. The
factory default SCSI ID is 6. If another device is not already using the factory default SCSI ID, you do not need to change the
drive's SCSI ID. Locate the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel of the drive as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE: If you attach the drive to a narrow (50-pin) bus, you can only use SCSI IDs 0 through 7.

To set the SCSI ID on the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape External drive, use a small screwdriver or ball-point pen to press the
button above the SCSI ID display to select the next lower SCSI ID. Press the button below the SCSI ID display to select the next
higher SCSI ID. Each time you press one of these buttons, the SCSI ID increases or decreases by one. Press the appropriate
button until the desired SCSI ID appears on the switch display.
After you change the SCSI ID, turn the drive off and on again to activate the new SCSI ID. Then restart the host server or rescan
the SCSI bus so the server can recognize the drive at the new SCSI ID.
When to Use Termination
If the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape External drive is the only SCSI device on the selected server other than the SCSI host
adapter, or it is the last physical device on the SCSI bus (at the end of the SCSI cable), it must be terminated. If another SCSI
device is the last device on the SCSI bus, confirm that it is properly terminated and do not terminate the PowerVault 110T DLT
VS160 Tape drive. Regardless of which device is used to terminate the SCSI bus, it must have power applied and be turned on for
proper termination to occur.
To terminate the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape External drive, locate the terminator in the accessories package and press it
firmly into either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the drive. Secure the terminator by tightening the screws until
snug.
Terminator Power
At least one device on the SCSI bus must supply terminator power (TERMPWR). The factory default for the PowerVault 110T DLT
VS160 Tape External drive is TERMPWR enabled, which is the recommended setting. It is acceptable for more than one device on
