Your Quantum DAT 160 drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3. 

Each device on the SCSI bus must have an unique SCSI ID number. 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 also not be used unless the tape 

drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus.
