Setting the SCSI Address

■

You set the SCSI robotic address from the LSM operator panel. You might need to 
get the addresses from your systems administrator or CSE.

Note: When configuring the LSM, you will encounter a message that states ‘Press 

execute for drive config info.” If you are not connected through a Windows 
NT network, ignore this option and press 

MENU

. The CSE will select the 

drive addresses at the drives.

However, if the drives and/or LSM are connected through a Windows NT 
network, you must select the proper option.

Examples:

1. If you are connecting Drives 0 and 1 to the same bus on a Windows NT 

network, you must select the “on bus” option because the drives are on 
the same bus.

2. If Drives 0 and 1 are on separate Windows NT buses, you must select 

the “off bus” option because the drives do not share the same bus.

Refer to 

 to make sure that you understand how to read the 

block diagrams. Usually, pressing 

EXECUTE

 means “yes,” that you want to 

perform the activity in the block, and pressing 

MENU

 means “no,” that you want to 

continue through the choices until your activity appears in the block. Usually, 
when you are at the end of the activity, you press 

EXECUTE

. Press 

MENU

 if you 

make a mistake or need to go through the choices again.

Refer to 

 for the menu block diagrams that describe how to 

set the SCSI LSM and/or drive addresses to 0 through 7 if you have a PRS card, or 0 
through 15 if you have a PRW card.
