Configuring the Internal Tape Drive
Before you install the LTO-2 half-height tape drive in your computer, you may need to configure the
drive’s SCSI ID and terminator power features. The default configuration settings for the LTO-2 half-
height drive are:
•
SCSI ID: 6
•
Terminator power: disabled
If you need to change these settings, refer to the following sections. Otherwise, skip to “Mounting
the Internal Tape Drive” on page 18.
SCSI ID
Each SCSI device on the bus must have its own unique SCSI ID. The internal tape drive is shipped
with a default SCSI ID of 6. If another SCSI device in the SCSI chain is using this ID, use jumper pins
1–2, 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8 to change the SCSI ID of the LTO-2 half-height drive (see Figure 2 on
page 17 and Table 1 on page 17), or assign a unique SCSI ID to the other SCSI device.
Jumper Pins: 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8
Default Setting:
SCSI ID 6
NOTE: The SCSI controller or host adapter generally uses ID 7. In some systems, the boot drive
uses ID 0 or ID 1. Avoid setting your drive’s SCSI ID to these settings.
