installing an internal DAT tape drive.
Important information before you start
An external DAT drive will operate using any voltage in the range 100–240
volts (0.7 A, 50-60 Hz). No adjustment is needed.
A power cord and a SCSI cable are provided with your DAT tape drive.
Check the drive's SCSI ID
Your DAT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3. Each device on the
SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID number. The drive can be assigned
any unused ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved
for the SCSI controller. SCSI ID 0 is typically assigned to the boot disk and
should also not be used unless the tape drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus.
