Procedure 1 If your host is not communicating with the 3580 Tape Drive, the drive's SCSI address switch may be set incorrectly: 1. Check the SCSI address switch ( 1 in Figure 15) to ensure that it is set to the SCSI ID that you chose in "Step 4. Setting the SCSI ID" on page 7. 2. Make sure that the ID is not one that is used by another device or the SCSI host adapter (note that because ID 7 is the highest priority ID on the SCSI bus, it is usually reserved for the primary SCSI host adapter). 3. If you change a SCSI ID, power-off the 3580 Tape Drive, then power it back on to effect the change. 0 1 SCSI SCSI LV D LVD/SE a67s0012 Figure 15. Checking the Setting on the SCSI Address Switch.

Procedure 1
If your host is not communicating with the 3580 Tape Drive, the drive’s SCSI
address switch may be set incorrectly:
1.
Check the SCSI address switch (
±1²
in Figure 15) to ensure that it is set to the
SCSI ID that you chose in “Step 4. Setting the SCSI ID” on page 7.
2.
Make sure that the ID is not one that is used by another device or the SCSI
host adapter (note that because ID 7 is the highest priority ID on the SCSI bus,
it is usually reserved for the primary SCSI host adapter).
3.
If you change a SCSI ID, power-off the 3580 Tape Drive, then power it back on
to effect the change.
