Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide
All devices on a SCSI-bus need their own unique
identification, called SCSI-ID. If a SCSI-ID conflict
exists, some of the SCSI devices will not be recognized
by your system. In many systems it is common to
use the SCSI-bus for the hard-drive and CD-ROM,
as well as the tape drive. Remember that the SCSI
Controller uses SCSI-ID 7.
If the tape drive is the only device on the SCSI -
bus, you do not need to do anything. The tape drive
will be recognized automatically. (All Tandberg
Data tape drives are delivered with SCSI-ID 2 as
default.)
If the tape drive is going to share the SCSI-bus with
other devices, check the SCSI-ID numbers used by
the other devices, then set the drive's SCSI-ID to a
number that is not being used by any of the other
devices (remember the SCSI host adapter uses ID 7).
The SCSI-ID is often set by "jumpers" where
you can "read out" which SCSI-ID the device has
been set up for. All SCSI device ID's are
displayed on the screen during system startup.
