Step 2. Preparing for installation
To prepare for installation:
1. Unpack the tape drive and store the packaging. You will need the packaging if
you return the drive for service.
2. If you are installing the drive in an external storage enclosure, turn off the
enclosure.
3. Turn off all attached devices.
4. Turn off the computer.
5. Disconnect all cables from the computer and all attached devices; then open the
computer. For specific information on opening your computer, refer to the
documentation that comes with your computer.
Attention: Tape drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. The drive is wrapped in a static-protective bag to
prevent damage.
6. Before opening the static-protective bag containing the tape drive, touch the
bag to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds.
Remove the drive from the static-protective bag. If you must put the drive
down, place the drive on the static-protective bag. Do not touch any exposed
components of the tape drive. Instead, handle it carefully by the edges.
Step 3. Setting the SCSI ID
Refer to the following diagram when setting the SCSI ID.
