Note Your HP Surestore DLT1 drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 5, but it can be assigned any
unused
ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is usually reserved for the SCSI controller,
or SCSI ID 0, which is typically assigned to the boot disk. We do not recommend installing the drive
onto a narrow SCSI bus, as this will restrict performance. (See “SCSI host bus adapter” on page 3.)
1 Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 5.
If you are installing on a Windows 98, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 or NetWare system, you
can install HP Library & Tape Tools from the web site: //www.hp.com/support/tapetools and
run the “Install Check” to check your computer’s current SCSI configuration (see page 23).
If you are installing on a UNIX® system, check the online
User’s Guide
on our World Wide Web site
//www.hp.com/support/dlt1
,
for instructions on how to determine the SCSI IDs of existing
devices.
Caution Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if
possible. If not, to equalize the electromagnetic charges, touch a bare metal part of the computer
(such as the back plate) before you remove the tape drive from its bag.
2 Change the tape drive’s SCSI ID, if necessary.
The SCSI ID is set using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the drive. Use your fingers to move the
jumpers to the pattern corresponding to the ID you want, see figure 1.
Spare jumpers will either be on the pin array itself (but only attached to a single pin) or in the
accessories box.
