Procedure 1 If your server is not communicating with the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, the drive's SCSI address switch may be set incorrectly: 1. Check the SCSI address switch ( 1 in Figure 22) to ensure that it is set to the SCSI ID that you chose in "Step 5. Setting the SCSI ID" on page 8. 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 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, then power it back on to effect the change. Figure 22. Checking the setting on the SCSI address switch. The switch is located at the rear of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. 48 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive Setup and Operator Guide

Procedure 1
If your server is not communicating with the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, the
drive
’
s SCSI address switch may be set incorrectly:
1.
Check the SCSI address switch (
±1²
in Figure 22) to ensure that it is set to the
SCSI ID that you chose in
“
Step 5. Setting the SCSI ID
”
on page 8.
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 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, then power
it back on to effect the change.

The switch is located at the rear
of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive.
