Installing a Desktop LTO-3 Tape Drive
LTO-3 Tape Drive User’s Guide 19
Setting the SCSI ID 2 Each SCSI device on the bus must have its own unique SCSI ID. The
desktop tape drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 6. Avoid setting
drive ID to 7. If another SCSI device in the SCSI chain is already using this
ID, either use the push-button switch on the back of the drive to change
the drive’s SCSI ID (see figure 9 ) or assign a unique SCSI ID to the other
SCSI device.
If you change the SCSI ID on the tape drive, turn off the tape drive before
changing the SCSI ID. The change takes effect when you turn on the
drive.

The desktop LTO-3 Tape Drive has two 68-pin, shielded SCSI interface
connectors (ANSI Alternative 2) on the rear panel (see figure 9 ). These
connectors consist of two rows of ribbon contacts spaced 2.16 mm (0.085
in) apart. Either connector can be used as a SCSI IN or SCSI OUT
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.
