TapeStor 8GB Installation Manual

This section describes how to configure and install a
TapeStor 8GB SCSI tape drive. If you are installing an
ATAPI drive, see page 10.
Examining your computer
Before you install your SCSI drive, look in your com-
puter or read your computer manual to answer the
following questions. The information you gather will
be used during the installation process.
1. Do you have a 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch drive bay?
2. Do you have a SCSI host adapter?
3. Is there a unused connector available on your SCSI
cable (as shown at left)?
4. Is any other SCSI device using SCSI ID 4 (the tape
drive’s default SCSI ID setting)?
5. Will your new tape drive be the last SCSI device on
the SCSI cable?

the cable, you do not have to change the
default jumper or dip-switch settings.
