Configuring an internal Scorpion 40
Before you install the tape drive in your computer, you may
need to configure the drive’s SCSI ID or other drive features.
Jumpers located on the back of the drive (between the SCSI
interface and power connectors) are used to configure the
SCSI ID, parity checking, and termination power. Other drive
features are set using a bank of dip-switches on the
underside of the drive.
Default settings
The default drive settings for the Scorpion 40 are listed
below:
•
SCSI ID: 6
•
Media Recognition System (MRS) checking: enabled.
•
Parity checking: enabled.
•
Data compression: enabled.
•
Power-on self-test diagnostics: enabled.
•
Host operating system: Windows 95/98/NT/2000
•
SCSI interface compatibility: Wide SCSI supported.
If these default settings are appropriate for your needs, skip
ahead to “Mounting an internal Scorpion 40” on page 10.
Jumper settings
Configuration jumpers on the back of the drive are used to
control the drive’s SCSI ID, parity checking, and SCSI
terminator power. The jumpers can also be used for remote
SCSI address selection. Figure 1 on the following page
shows the locations of the jumper blocks for the internal
Scorpion 40.
