2
Change the tape drive’s SCSI ID. Use a small screwdriver or a ball-point
pen to press the indented SCSI ID selector buttons on the rear panel (see
figure 1.1) until the required value is displayed. Do not use a pencil because
small bits of lead could contaminate the drive.
Note
Both the computer and the tape drive check SCSI IDs only at power-on. To
change the SCSI ID after installation, power down both the tape drive and
the computer, change the drive’s SCSI ID, power up the tape drive, and
then power up the computer.

TapeAssure on Unix systems.

In Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, you can install TapeAssure directly on
the system to which the tape drive is connected. In NetWare, you will need
to install HP TapeAssure on the server from a client workstation running
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, and then run HP TapeAssure from the
NetWare server console.
Using HP TapeAssure
Note
If the program does not work correctly or hangs during processing, there
may be a compatibility problem with the SCSI card. The current version of
HP TapeAssure may not support Adaptec 1510 cards (6360 chip set) and
Symbios cards.

Once it is installed, run TapeAssure from the Programs menu in the

SCSI devices.
