Items You Must Supply
To install the rack-mount CP 3100, you may need the following additional items:
•
A rack where the CP 3100 is to be installed.
•
An external Ultra 160 SCSI cable and terminator for connecting the CP 3100 to the host.
•
Another external Ultra 160 SCSI cable and terminator if you intend to connect an existing
SCSI tape drive.
•
A Phillips screwdriver and other appropriate tools.
Reviewing the SCSI ID
Each SCSI device on the bus must have its own unique ID.
•
CP3100R-320 units inherit the SCSI ID of the tape drive to which they are attached. If another
device on the SCSI bus uses this SCSI ID, change the SCSI ID on the tape drive or on the other
device.
•
CP3101R-160 units default to SCSI ID 6. If another device on the SCSI bus uses this SCSI ID,
change the SCSI ID on the other device to one that is not being used by any other device on
NOTE: Do not set the archive tape drive to SCSI ID 7. For best performance, it is strongly recom-
mended that the CP 3100 be attached to a dedicated SCSI Ultra 160 controller.
