Tape Drive Installation
Introduction
This chapter describes how to install a tape drive in the Compaq 3U RM
Storage Enclosure. Topics covered in this chapter include the following:
■
SCSI IDs
■
Removing and installing a tape drive
■
Cable configurations
■
Installing SCSI connectors
SCSI IDs
The default SCSI ID for each tape drive depends on the cable configuration
used in the storage enclosure. If there is one tape drive per SCSI cable, the
default is 0. For two tape drives per SCSI cable, the default for the top tape
drive is 1 and the default for the bottom tape drive is 0.
Before setting the SCSI ID, be sure the SCSI ID complies with the following:
■
Each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID.
■
If the tape drives’ SCSI IDs need to be reassigned, do not duplicate
SCSI IDs.
■
Do not use SCSI ID 7 because it is reserved for the controller.
