Configuring the 

Internal Parallel SCSI 

Tape Drive

The factory-set default configuration of the internal parallel SCSI LTO-4 

(Model B) Half-Height Tape Drive is:

• SCSI ID: 6
• Terminator power: enabled

Configuring the Internal Drive Parallel SCSI ID

Each device on the parallel SCSI bus must have its own unique SCSI ID. 

Use SCSI configuration jumper pins 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8 on the drive 

serial-attached SCSI (SAS), 

there is no need to configure the 

SCSI ID or bus termination, as SAS 

is a point-to-point architecture.
