or - buttons above and below the SCSI ID number. Use a ball-point pen
or similar pointed object. To prevent particle contamination, do not use
a pencil. (If you are installing an HP SureStore DAT40 drive onto a
UNIX system, check the UNIX configuration switches on the bottom of
the drive.)

screws to secure it. For all other tape drives, make sure that the supplied
terminator is firmly attached to the drive’s other SCSI connector and the
latches are in place.
