2.5 Setting the SCSI ID
You do not need to change the SCSI ID unless your system is configured with
more than one TLZ06 or you have another device set to SCSI address 5.
Set the SCSI ID on the TLZ06 by following these steps:
1. Locate the SCSI ID switches on the rear of the TLZ06 tape drive, as shown
in Figure 2–7.
2. Set the SCSI ID. Switches 3, 2, and 1 allow you to select a unique SCSI
address for each drive. When switches 3, 2, and 1 are set
down/up/down, as shown in Figure 2–7, the drive is set for SCSI address 5,
the default address for a tape drive. See Table 2–3 for the recommended
SCSI address for various drives.
