Installing an Internal SCSI Tape Drive
This subsection describes how to configure and install an internal SCSI tape drive in the peripheral bays.
1.
Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2.
Remove the front bezel, if attached. See "
Opening the System
" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
3.
Open the system. See "
Opening the System
" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
4.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the system, unpack the drive, and compare the jumper and switch settings with
those in the documentation that came with the drive.
5.
Unpack the tape drive (and controller card, if applicable) and configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came with the tape drive,
based on the following guidelines:
a.
Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number. (Narrow SCSI devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI devices use
IDs from 0 to 15). Set the drive's SCSI ID to avoid conflicts with other devices on the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID setting, see the
documentation provided with the drive.
b.
SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated.
Therefore, you enable the tape drive's termination if it is the last device in a chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI controller.
6.
If a controller card was included in the drive kit, install the card now. See"
Installing an Expansion Card
" in "Installing System Components."
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See
your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.
NOTE:
There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number.
