Step 1: Check the Drive’s SCSI ID
Check the tape drive’s SCSI ID on the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel
of the drive. If necessary, change it from the default of 3 by pressing the
in or
−
buttons above and below the SCSI ID number. Use a
ball-point pen or similar pointed object. To prevent particle
contamination, do not use a pencil.
