Step 2 - Remove Power from the Computer.
1. Power-off the computer.
2. Disconnect the power cord from both the electrical outlet and the computer.
Step 3 - Setting the SCSI ID. Your tape drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 6, but it can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is
reserved for the SCSI controller, or SCSI ID 0, which is typically assigned to the boot disk. We do not recommend installing the drive onto a narrow SCSI bus, as this will
restrict performance.
To set the SCSI ID:
1. Locate the SCSI ID connector (See number 3 on the rear panel diagram in the Introduction). The SCSI ID is set using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the drive.
2. Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 6. Make sure the ID is not used by another device.
3. Referring to
, find the ID number that you chose. Then, place jumpers on the connector pins as shown (use a pair of needle-nose pliers to connect the jumpers
to the pins that are shaded). Spare jumpers will be on the pin array itself (but only attached to a single pin).

Step 4 - Prepare the Mounting Bay in Your Computer.
Refer to your computer system's documentation for instructions on how to prepare the mounting bay to receive the tape drive.
Step 5 - Attach Mounting Hardware
If your computer requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount them on the tape drive in this step.
If your computer does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to step 6 now.

Step 6 - Install the Drive
Slide the tape drive into the open bay, aligning the tray or rails with the slots in the bay, as shown in

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if possible. If not, to equalize the
electromagnetic charges, touch a bare metal part of the computer (such as the back plate) before you remove the tape drive from its bag.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to the computer or tape drive, ensure the computer power cord is disconnected before you install the
drive.
