Figure 3 Checking the SCSI ID
1.
Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 3.
For most operating systems you can run HP Library & Tape Tools from the HP StorageWorks Tape
CD-ROM to check your server’s current SCSI configuration (see “ Diagnostic tools ” on page 57).
This will provide information about the SCSI bus and the SCSI IDs in use. To do this, select the
‘troubleshoot with L&TT’ option from the CD-ROM menu.
The UNIX Configuration Guide on the HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM also contains instructions on
how to determine the SCSI IDs of existing devices on UNIX servers.
2. Change the tape drive’s SCSI ID, if necessary.
The SCSI ID is set using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the drive, as shown in
Figure 3 . Use
tweezers or small pliers to move the jumpers to the pattern corresponding to the ID you want. Spare
jumpers are provided with the drive.
Prepare mounting bay
For many servers, no mounting tray or rails are required. Devices simply slide into the server’s chassis
and are fixed with screws. Other servers have built-in trays or rails.
Rail kits for a number of industry-standard servers may be available. For more details refer to:
http://www.hp.com/go/connect .
Some servers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include spares. If this is the case with your
system, you will have to order these accessories from the server manufacturer before you can install the
tape drive.
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, ensure that the server is disconnected
from the mains power supply while you install the drive.
