Installation (and Quick Start)

Installing an Internal LTO-2 Half-Height Drive

Installing an internal LTO-2 half-height tape drive involves the following steps:

Before you install the LTO-2 half-height tape drive in your computer, you may need to configure the

drive's SCSI ID and terminator power features. The default configuration settings for the LTO-2 half-

height drive are:

•

Terminator power: disabled

•

If you need to change these settings, refer to the following sections. Otherwise, skip to "Mounting

the Internal Tape Drive" on page 18.

SCSI ID

Jumper Pins: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8

Default Setting:

Each SCSI device on the bus must have its own unique SCSI ID. The internal tape drive is shipped

with a default SCSI ID of 6. If another SCSI device in the SCSI chain is using this ID, use jumper pins

1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 to change the SCSI ID of the LTO-2 half-height drive (see Figure 2 on

page 17 and Table 1 on page 17), or assign a unique SCSI ID to the other SCSI device.

NOTE: The SCSI controller or host adapter generally uses ID 7. In some systems, the boot drive

uses ID 0 or ID 1. Avoid setting your drive's SCSI ID to these settings.

SCSI ID 6
