Configuring the Internal Fibre Channel Drive
Before you install the tape drive in your computer, you may need to configure the drive’s hard-
assigned loop identifier. Jumpers located on the back of the drive (see Figure 8 on page 23) are
used to configure the ID.

Loop ID
By default, the LTO-1 internal FC drive uses Loop ID 0000000 (no jumpers in place). You can
change this Loop ID by placing jumpers on jumper pins 13–14, 11–12, 9–10, 7–8, 5–6, 3–4, 1–2.
Jumper Pins: 13–14, 11–12, 9–10, 7–8, 5–6, 3–4, 1–2
Default Setting:
Loop ID 0000000
