Installing the tape drive

Installing your tape drive requires the following general tasks:

Step 1 – Set the SCSI ID

Each device attached to a SCSI bus must have a unique address or SCSI

ID. This SCSI ID, which can be a value from 0 through 7, allows the host

computer communicate with the specific devices attached to the bus.

Owner's Manual

Step Procedure

Set the SCSI ID (pages 17 through 19)

Terminate the SCSI bus (pages 20 through 22)

For the internal tape drive, install the tape drive in an empty

drive bay (pages 23 through 30)

For the external tape drive, connect the tape drive to the SCSI

bus and a power source (pages 31 through 34)

Power on the tape drive (pages 34 through 37 )

Install your software application (page 37)

Test your installation (pages 38 through 39)

Important:

Before setting the tape drive's SCSI ID,

determine the SCSI IDs of all other SCSI devices currently

attached to your SCSI bus (for example, a hard drive or a

CD-ROM reader). These devices may either be installed

inside the computer or attached externally.
