Requirements for Setting the SCSI ID
The SCSI ID is the address asserted by the tape drive during
arbitration. The SCSI ID is set at the factory; if you want to change the
tape drive’s SCSI ID (0 through 7), you can do one of the following:
Remove and reposition the jumpers on the SCSI ID jumper block
onthebackofthetapedrive(seeFigure4-1).
Remove the jumpers and connect a remote switch to the SCSI ID
jumper block. A remote switch is not provided with the tape
drive. Use a female Molex
®
22-55-2061 or equivalent cable
connector to control the address remotely.
