Check the drive's SCSI ID
Your DAT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3. Each device on the
SCSI bus must have an unique SCSI ID number. The drive can be assigned
any unused ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved
for the SCSI controller. SCSI ID 0 is typically assigned to the boot disk and
should also not be used unless the tape drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus.
Static electricity can damage electronic components.
Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if possible. If not,
Caution
to equalize the electromagnetic charges, touch a
bare metal part of the server (such as the back plate)
before you remove the tape drive from its bag.
