Reviewing drive default settings
Your internal tape drive comes with various default settings. These settings are
configured using jumpers and switches.
v
The jumpers are located on the back of the drive, between the SCSI interface and
power connectors (refer to the diagram in“General installation instructions” on
page 9).
v
The switches are located on the underside of the drive. If you change a switch
setting, you must turn the drive off and then on to have the new setting take
effect (see Figure below).
You may need to change these settings to suit your requirements. Review the
default settings shown below to determine whether they suit your requirements or
need to be changed.
