Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship your tape
drive in the future. You must ship your tape drive in the original (or
equivalent) packing materials or you will invalidate your warranty.
If there is no damage to the tape drive, select a server or workstation to host your tape drive, then move
on to the following installation steps.
3.3.3 Configuring Your Internal Tape Drive
Configuring your tape drive is fast and easy. You only need to select a unique SCSI ID and decide if
your tape drive needs to be terminated. The following sections explain how to configure your tape
drive.
Setting the SCSI ID
All SCSI devices attached to the server or workstation that is to host your tape drive must have a
unique SCSI ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices on the selected server or workstation,
including the SCSI host adapter, and select an unused SCSI ID for your tape drive. The factory default
SCSI ID is 5. If the tape drive’s factory default SCSI ID is not being used, you do not need to change
the SCSI ID.

:
If you plan to attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus, you can
only use IDs 0 through 7.
