Setting SCSI IDs
First, make sure that the library power is off, then set the library on a work surface
with the rear panel facing you.
Note:
The following SCSI ID information only applies to SCSI libraries.
The ID switches on Fibre Channel libraries are preset at the factory
and should not be changed.
Drive SCSI IDs
SCSI ID switches 1 through 4 correspond to the numbered location of the drives in the
library. There are 16 positions for each switch, 0h to Fh, corresponding to 16 possible
SCSI IDs. When setting the tape drive SCSI IDs, note the following:
• Each item on a SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. In dual bus mode, two drives
may have the same SCSI ID if the drives are on different busses.
• If the drive slot is empty, the library ignores the SCSI ID.
Setting the Drive SCSI IDs
Using the Spectra Logic screwdriver included with the library, turn the drive SCSI ID
switches for each installed drive until the arrow on the switch indicates the SCSI ID
you want.
Caution:
Identify the SCSI IDs currently in use and determine which SCSI
IDs are available for use with the library and drives. Conflicting
SCSI IDs can cause the system to fail.
