for the tape drive, the other (1) is for the autoloader robotics.

From the Home screen or main menu, press + or - until Configuration appears on the top line of the LCD screen, and then press Enter.
2.

Press Enter. The LCD screen displays Please Cycle Power.

Turn off the autoloader. After a few seconds, turn it back on again.
The selected SCSI ID is now in effect.
NOTE: This option is primarily used if the autoloader is in an error state.
NOTE: The autoloader will not respond to input from the operator panel until the power has been cycled.
NOTE: If you changed the SCSI ID, you may also need to reboot the host server and reconfigure your backup software before you can
use the autoloader. Consult your hardware and software manuals for more information.
