HP SureStore DAT
Installing an “e” Model Drive (external)
1-5
Step 1: Check the Drive’s SCSI ID
Note
Your HP SureStore DAT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3, but
it can be assigned any unused ID between 1 and 6. Do not use SCSI ID 7,
which is reserved for the SCSI controller, or SCSI ID 0, which is typically
assigned to the boot disk.
HP SureStore DAT40 drives can be assigned any unused ID between 1
and 15.

Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 3.
If you are installing on a Windows 95/98, Windows NT or NetWare system,
install HP TapeAssure from the Software page on the HP SureStore Tape
CD-ROM and run it to check your computer’s current SCSI configuration.
See “Installing and Using HP TapeAssure” on page 1-6 for more
information about installing and running HP TapeAssure.
If you do not need to change the SCSI ID, check the drive’s SCSI ID setting
on the rear of the drive to be sure that it has not been inadvertently
changed, then go to step 2 on page 1-8.
