Example: SCSI-ID = 2

Table 3.1 Service Connector strap settings for SCSI-ID (Dark = Strap mounted)

If the tape drive is the only device on the SCSI bus, you do not need to do anything.

The tape drive will be recognized automatically. (All Tandberg Data tape drives are delivered with
SCSI-ID 2 as default.)

If the tape drive is going to share the SCSI-bus with other devices, check the SCSI-ID numbers used
by the other devices, then set the drive’s SCSI-ID to a number that is not being used by any of the
other devices (remember the SCSI host adapter uses ID 7)

For the external tabletops, you will find the SCSI-ID setting thumb-wheel switch on the rear end of
the unit box:

3.9 SCSI-bus Termination

3.9.1 Termination in General

A SCSI-bus is susceptible to interference, such as noise from electrical motors and other
electromagnetic devices. Also due to the speed of the data on the SCSI-bus, it is of outmost
importance to terminate the SCSI-bus properly. “Termination” is used to define the ends of the SCSI-
bus.
