Setting the SCSI ID
Each SCSI device attached to the server that is to be the host for the DLT VS
40/80 GB tape 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 and select an unused SCSI ID for the tape drive. If the drive
factory default SCSI ID 6 is not being used by another device on the same SCSI
bus, you do not need to change the SCSI ID.
