2.3.3 Configuration
Configuring your DLT-VS80esDesktop Drive is fast and easy. You only need to select a
unique SCSI ID and decide if your drive needs to be terminated. The following sections
explain how to configure your drive.
2.3.3.1
Setting the SCSI ID
Each SCSI device attached to the server or workstation that is to be the host for your DLT-
VS80esDesktop Drive must have a unique SCSI ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other
devices attached to the selected SCSI bus, including the SCSI host adapter itself, on the
selected server or workstation and select an unused SCSI ID for your DLT-VS80esDesktop
Drive. If the drive’s factory default SCSI ID is not being used by another device on the same
SCSI bus, you do not need to change the SCSI ID.

Note:
If your DLT-VS80esDesktop Drive is attached to a narrow SCSI bus, only IDs 0
through 7 are valid.
To set the SCSI ID on your DLT-VS80esDesktop Drive, use a small screwdriver or ballpoint
pen to press the button above the SCSI ID display to select the next lower SCSI ID. Press
the button below the SCSI ID display to select the next higher SCSI ID. Each time you press
one of these buttons, the SCSI ID decreases or increases by one. Press the appropriate
button until the desired SCSI ID appears on the switch display.
