Installing Your Drive

2

Your internal tape drive comes with various default settings. 

• The jumpers are located on the back of the drive, between the SCSI 

interface and power connectors

• If you change a SCSI setting, you must turn the power to the drive off 

and then on to have the new setting take effect.

You may need to change these settings to suit your requirements. Review 

the default settings in 

 to determine whether they suit your 

requirements or need to be changed. 

• If you do not need to change these default settings, proceed to 

Table 3   SCSI Drives Only — 
Tape Drive Default Settings

 

These jumper pin settings are for the SCSI drive only.

SCSI ID

SCSI Controller

Host operating system

Microsoft 2000, 2003, XP Professional, and 

Linux Kernels 2.6 or higher

The drive can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 15. 

Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the SCSI controller. 

SCSI ID 0 is typically assigned to the boot disk and should not 

be used unless the tape drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus.
