Installation guide

Place the tape drives on a table or rack near the rear of the system cabinet.2.
Verify that the SCSI identification display on the tape drive that will be connected to the SCSI PCI card is set to 0.
Verify that the SCSI identification display on the other tape drive in the daisy-chain is set to 1 (See Figure 3-9).
3.
If the identification displays are not set to the appropriate numbers, use a paper clip (or similar nonmarking,
pointed instrument) to press the buttons that increase and decrease the displayed number. Press the upper
button to decrease the number, and the lower button to increase it.
Do not press the upper button after the number 0 is displayed, or the lower button after 7 is
displayed. Attempting to move beyond these parameters will break the buttons.
Figure 3-9. SCSI Identification Display: Daisy-Chained T800-Series
To change the SCSI identification on a T800-series tape drive, first power down the tape
drive. The SCSI identification is read by the system when the tape drive is powered up. If
you change the SCSI identification display after power-up, the new identification will not be
registered by the tape drive. Any attempts to access the tape drive will result in an
application error.
If the tape drive is the last drive in the daisy chain, verify that the single-ended SCSI terminator (part number
JC-005TRM) is installed in the lower port on the rear of the tape drive. If the terminator is not installed, connect it
to the lower port and securely clip it to the tape drive as shown in Figure 3-10.
4.
Install only a single-ended SCSI terminator on the tape drive. Do not install a differential terminator, as it could damage
the tape drive and/or SCSI PCI card.
