Configuring and Installing an Internal Tape Drive with SCSI Interface SDLT 600 Product Manual

4.4.1 Setting the Internal Tape Drive SCSI ID
Each device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID address assigned to it. For specific
recommendations for assigning SCSI IDs, refer to your system or SCSI controller documentation.
Set the SCSI ID by using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the tape drive. This section discusses
setting the SCSI ID on the internal tape drive via the jumper block.
Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 show the
SCSI ID address and jumper settings.
Figure 4-1 on page 4-6 shows the empty 10-pin jumper block that you use to set the SCSI ID.
Figure 4-2 on page 4-7 shows the location of the 10-pin SCSI ID block on the back of the tape drive.
If you decide it is necessary to change the tape drive’s SCSI ID, use your fingers to move the jumpers
to the pattern corresponding to the ID you want (see
Figure 4-1 and the related table of SCSI jumper
settings in Table 4-1 on page 4-7 and Table 4-2 on page 4-8 ).
Figure 4-1. Detail of the Empty SCSI ID Jumper Block
You can configure internal tape drives for SCSI ID addresses that range from 0 to 15 in one of two
ways:
• Jumper the 10-pin SCSI ID block located on the back of the tape drive ( Figure 4-2 on page 4-7 ).
• Set the SCSI ID through firmware in a library setting. (The firmware default = SCSI ID 5 and
assumes no jumpers are installed on the jumper block.).
The default setting for the tape drive is 5; the host adapter setting is typically SCSI ID 7. If you choose
to omit all jumpers from the SCSI ID block, the tape drive will use the default setting of 5.
