Step 3. Inspecting the Power Cord and Outlet __ 1. Inspect the power cord plug to ensure that it matches the power receptacle. If it does not match, see "Appendix F. Power Cords" on page 73 to determine the appropriate power cord. __ 2. Ensure that the electrical outlets that you use are properly grounded and that the circuit breaker is turned on. Step 4. Setting the SCSI ID The SCSI ID is a unique address that identifies the 3580 Tape Drive to the host. To set the SCSI ID: 1. Refer to the following notes and decide what ID you want to assign to the 3580 Tape Drive. Notes: a. The range of SCSI IDs is 0 through 15. The priority of SCSI IDs is: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8. b. Do not select an ID that is already in use by any device on the SCSI bus. c. Do not select the SCSI ID of the SCSI host adapter card. The priority of this ID is usually higher than any device on the SCSI bus. Generally, the SCSI ID for the host adapter is set to 7. 2. Locate the SCSI address switch at the rear of the 3580 Tape Drive (see 9 in Figure 2 on page 6). 3. With a small, pointed object (such as a ballpoint pen), press the + or − push button until the ID that you want displays on the switch. 4. To activate the new SCSI ID, cycle the power (turn it off, then on again). Step 5. Positioning the Tape Drive Position the 3580 Tape Drive anywhere that is convenient to the host. The only restrictions are the length of the power cord and the length of the SCSI cable. Recommended locations are: v Away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted. v Out of computer rooms to avoid toner and paper dust. Do not store paper supplies next to any unit. v Away from moving air, such as doorways, open windows, fans, and air conditioners. v Off the floor. v In a horizontal position. v Where the tape cartridge can be easily inserted. The 3580 Tape Drive should not be stacked. Do not place anything on top of the unit. To minimize any contamination from airborne particles, ensure that the cover is always closed. Chapter 2.

Step 3. Inspecting the Power Cord and Outlet
__ 1.
Inspect the power cord plug to ensure that it matches the power receptacle.
If it does not match, see “Appendix F. Power Cords” on page 73 to determine
the appropriate power cord.
__ 2.
Ensure that the electrical outlets that you use are properly grounded and that
the circuit breaker is turned on.
Step 4. Setting the SCSI ID
The SCSI ID is a unique address that identifies the 3580 Tape Drive to the host. To
set the SCSI ID:
1.
Refer to the following notes and decide what ID you want to assign to the 3580
Tape Drive.
Notes:
a.
The range of SCSI IDs is 0 through 15. The priority of SCSI IDs is: 7, 6, 5,
4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8.
b.
Do not select an ID that is already in use by any device on the SCSI bus.
c.
Do not select the SCSI ID of the SCSI host adapter card. The priority of this
ID is usually higher than any device on the SCSI bus. Generally, the SCSI
ID for the host adapter is set to 7.
2.
Locate the SCSI address switch at the rear of the 3580 Tape Drive (see
±9²
in
Figure 2 on page 6).
3.
With a small, pointed object (such as a ballpoint pen), press the + or - push
button until the ID that you want displays on the switch.
4.
To activate the new SCSI ID, cycle the power (turn it off, then on again).
Step 5. Positioning the Tape Drive
Position the 3580 Tape Drive anywhere that is convenient to the host. The only
restrictions are the length of the power cord and the length of the SCSI cable.
Recommended locations are:
v
Away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted.
v
Out of computer rooms to avoid toner and paper dust. Do not store paper
supplies next to any unit.
v
Away from moving air, such as doorways, open windows, fans, and air
conditioners.
v
Off the floor.
v
In a horizontal position.
v
Where the tape cartridge can be easily inserted.
The 3580 Tape Drive should not be stacked. Do not place anything on top of the
unit. To minimize any contamination from airborne particles, ensure that the cover is
always closed.
