Setting the 5242-2SE SCSI ID:

The 5242-2SE is a SCSI device. Each device connects to a SCSI bus and must have a unique SCSI ID in
order for your computer to recognize it. The tape drive attaches to a NonStop server using s a SCSI ID of 5
(daisy-chained drives use IDs 5 and 4). The only requirement is that no duplicate IDs exist. Devices on the
SCSI bus malfunction if two or more devices have the same SCSI ID.
