• Avoid putting an SE SCSI device on the same bus as a tape drive because the SE device will slow
the tape drive to SE speed and reduce the allowable cable length.
SCSI addresses
NOTE:
The HBA also has a SCSI address, which is typically 7.
Verify that each device on the bus has a unique SCSI address. If these pre-configured addresses will
not be unique on a bus, you will need to change the SCSI address of one or more of the tape drives
during the installation process.
• MSL2024: For full-height tape drives the default SCSI address is 4. For half-height drives, the default
SCSI address for the bottom drive is 4 and the default SCSI address for the top drive is 5 as shown
in
Figure 15 on page 39.

• MSL4048: For full-height tape drives the default SCSI address is 4. For half-height drives, the default
SCSI address for the bottom drive in each full-height drive bay is 4 and the default SCSI address
for the top drive is 5 as shown in
Figure 16 on page 39.
