Chapter 9 Installing an Internal SCSI Tape Drive

Unpacking the Tape Drive

DLT-S4 Product Manual

Unpacking the Tape Drive

Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack the tape

drive.

Unpack and inspect the tape drive for shipping damage. If you notice any

damage, report it both to the sales representative and to the shipping

company immediately.

If there is no damage to the tape drive, select a server or workstation to

host the tape drive, then move on to the following installation steps.

Setting the SCSI ID

Each device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID address

assigned to it. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices on the selected

server or workstation, including the SCSI host adapter, and select an

unused SCSI ID for the tape drive. The factory default SCSI ID for the

internal tape drive is 5 (no jumpers are installed on the jumper block). If

the tape drive’s factory default SCSI ID is not currently in use by another

device, you do not need to change the SCSI ID.

Note:

If the room in which you are working differs from the

temperature at which the tape drive was shipped or stored by

30 ºF (17 ºC) or more, let the tape drive acclimate to the

surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before opening

the shipping carton.

Caution:

Save the packing materials in case you need to move or

ship the tape drive in the future. When returning a unit to

Quantum for repair, you must use the original or

equivalent packing materials or risk voiding your

warranty.

Caution:

If you reset the SCSI ID, do not use ID 7, as that ID is

already in use by the SCSI host adapter.
