Setting the SCSI ID and termination
The drive is shipped with a SCSI ID of 0. If you want to change the default ID,
install the jumpers on the jumper block (
±3²
in Figure 2-1) for the desired ID, as
shown in Figure 2-2. (If necessary, use flat-nose pliers to remove the jumpers.) If
you need an additional jumper, use a 2 mm jumper.
You can use the connector (
±1²
in Figure 2-1) to enable the terminator power
signal. (The drive is shipped from the factory with termination power disabled.) To
enable termination power, place a jumper across the far right pins on the auxiliary
connector. Make sure the jumper is firmly in place. Be sure to use a 2 mm jumper.
Note:
To protect the drive components if termination power is shorted, the tape
drive includes a self-resetting power fuse.
