Installing an External Drive Step 1: Check the Drive's SCSI ID If you follow this recommendation, the following points apply: • You can leave the SCSI ID at 5 (the default). • You must attach the SCSI terminator to one of the SCSI connectors on the rear of the drive. If you choose to have other devices on the SCSI bus (not recommended with a DLT drive): 1 Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID of the tape drive from the default of 5. • If you are installing on a UNIX system, check the UNIX Configuration Guide for how to determine the SCSI IDs of existing devices. • If you are installing on a Microsoft Windows or NetWare system, install and run HP TapeAssure from the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM to check your computer's current SCSI configuration. There are HP TapeAssure versions for Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and NetWare. To do this, select "HP TapeAssure" from the Welcome page on the CDROM and follow the instructions on the screen. Once HP TapeAssure is installed, you can run it from the Programs menu in the Windows Start menu. Note In Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, you can install HP TapeAssure directly on the system to which the tape drive is connected. In NetWare, you will need to install HP TapeAssure on the server from a client workstation running Windows 95/98, and then run HP TapeAssure from the NetWare server console. HP TapeAssure will check for the presence of a SCSI controller and its driver software and identify the SCSI IDs of existing SCSI devices. View the current configuration and determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 5. Exit HP TapeAssure after you view the SCSI configuration information. Note If the program does not work correctly or hangs during processing, there may be a compatibility problem with the SCSI card. The current version of HP TapeAssure may not support Adaptec 1510 cards (6350 chip set) and Symbios cards. 2-6
