SCSI ID Information
In any system, each SCSI device must have a unique identifier called the SCSI
ID number. In an RRD42 CDROM drive, the SCSI ID number is determined
by three jumpers. See Figure RRD42–2. When installing an RRD42 CDROM
drive in a system, set the SCSI ID jumpers to a value that is not used by any of
the other SCSI devices in the system. See your system documentation for more
information about the SCSI bus.
The following procedure describes how to set the SCSI ID number on an RRD42
CDROM drive option.
1. Determine the SCSI ID number to be assigned to the RRD42 CDROM drive
option. Typically, the RRD42 CDROM uses SCSI ID 4; however, the system
manager may prefer to make this decision.
2. At the console prompt on the system console terminal, enter the SHOW
DEVICE command. This will list the SCSI ID numbers for the existing
devices in the system. Verify that you are using a number that is not
currently assigned to another device.
3. Locate the SCSI ID jumper pins on the CDROM drive. See Figure RRD42–2.
4. Position the jumpers for the SCSI ID number selected. Table RRD42–1 shows
the jumper settings for each SCSI ID.

SCSI ID Information
In any system, each SCSI device must have a unique identifier called the SCSI
ID number. In an RZ24L disk drive, the SCSI ID number is determined by three
jumpers. See Figure RZ24L–1. When installing an RZ24L disk drive in a system,
set the SCSI ID jumpers to a value that is not used by any of the other SCSI
devices in the system. See your system documentation for detailed information
about the SCSI bus.
The following procedure describes how to set the SCSI ID number on an RZ24L
disk drive.
1. Determine the SCSI ID number to be assigned to the RZ24L disk drive option.
Typically, the first RZ-series disk in a system uses SCSI ID 1, the second RZseries disk uses SCSI ID 2, and the third RZ-series disk uses SCSI ID 3;
however, the system manager may prefer to make this decision.
2. At the system console, enter the SHOW DEVICE command from console
mode. This will list the SCSI ID numbers for the existing devices in the
system. Verify that you are using a number that is not currently assigned to
another device.
3. Locate the SCSI ID jumper pins on the disk drive. See Figure RZ24L–1.

SCSI ID Information
In any system, each SCSI device must have a unique identifier called the SCSI
ID number. In the RZ26, RZ26L, and RZ28 disk drives, the SCSI ID number is
determined by three jumpers. See Figure RZ26/RZ26L/RZ28–1. When installing
an RZ26, RZ26L, or RZ28 disk drive in a system, set the SCSI ID jumpers to a
value that is not used by any of the other SCSI devices in the system. See your
system documentation for detailed information about the SCSI bus.

MicroVAX 3100 Platform Options Supplement RZ26/RZ26L/RZ28–1

RZ26/RZ26L/RZ28-EK

The following procedure describes how to set the SCSI ID number on an RZ26,
RZ26L, or RZ28 disk drive option.
1. Determine the SCSI ID number to be assigned to the disk drive option.
Typically, the first RZ-series disk in a system uses SCSI ID 1, the second
RZ-series disk uses SCSI ID 2, and the third RZ-series disk uses SCSI ID 3;
however, the system manager may prefer to make this decision.
2. At the system console, enter the SHOW DEVICE command from console
mode. This will list the SCSI ID numbers for the existing devices in the
system. Verify that you are using a number that is not currently assigned to
another device.
3. Locate the SCSI ID jumper pins on the disk drive. See Figure RZ26/RZ26L
/RZ28–1.
4. Position the jumpers for the SCSI ID number selected. Table RZ26/RZ26L
/RZ28–1 shows the SCSI ID number and the corresponding jumper settings.

Media Recognition System
The media recognition system (MRS) is a quality standard for tapes that is
supported by the TLZ07 tape drive. MRS is not supported by the TLZ06 tape
drive. Cassette tapes that meet this standard are labeled MRS or Media
Recognition System, and contain identifying information at the beginning
of the tape.
When the media recognition system is enabled on the TLZ07 cassette tape drive
(switch S4 on the SCSI ID and option switchpack set to off), the TLZ07 drive
reads the header information on the cassette tapes to determine if the tape meets
the MRS standard. Although it can read any 4 mm cassette tape, with MRS
enabled the drive will only write to tapes that meet the MRS standard. If a write
operation is iniated with MRS enabled and the cassette tape does not meet the
MRS standard, a write-lock error message displays on the console terminal.
When the media recognition system is disabled (SCSI ID and option switchpack,
switch S4 on), the TLZ07 cassette tape drive will write to any MRS tape as well
as tapes that do not meet the MRS standard.
Installation
Before installing the TLZ06/07 tape drive option, the enclosure cover must be
removed. If you are installing the TLZ06/07 tape drive option in a MicroVAX
3100 Model 40, 80, 85, 90, or 95 system, the upper drive-mounting shelf must

3. Locate the SCSI ID jumper pins on the tape drive. See Figure TZKxx–1.
4. Position the jumpers for the SCSI ID number selected. Table TZKxx–1 shows
the jumper settings for each SCSI ID number.
The jumper wires on either side of the SCSI ID select jumpers are installed by
default. The jumper to the right of the SCSI ID select pins enables the terminator
power (TERMPWR). In the TZK10 drive, the jumper to the left of the SCSI ID
select pins enables parity. In the TZK11 drive, the jumper to the left of the SCSI
ID select pins is a Vendor/Product ID Select (VSEL) switch. This jumper should
be installed in a TZK11 that resides in a MicroVAX 3100 system. It should be
removed if the TZK11 resides in system with an operating system from a vendor
other than Digital.

2. From inside the enclosure, push out the blank bezel insert that covers the left
storage slot on the lower drive-mounting shelf.
3. Remove the blank bezel insert from the enclosure.
Installing the TZK-Series Option
After you have prepared the system as described previously, install the TZK-series
tape drive option as follows:
1. Check the storage slot on the drive-mounting shelf to verify that any springlock clips are in the locked position. If they are in the released position,
install a lock-out screw to secure them down.
2. Identify the power cable connector that supplies power to the storage slot
where the TZK-series option will be installed.
3. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the back of the TZK-series
drive. (See Figure TZKxx–4.)
4. Identify the SCSI cable connector that has a pull-tab number that corresponds
to the storage slot where the TZK-series option will be installed.
5. Connect the SCSI cable to the back of the TZK-series option. (See
Figure TZKxx–4.)
6. Align the tabs on the tape drive mounting bracket with the cutouts in the
drive-mounting shelf.
7. Tilt the drive slightly to slide the tabs in the drive-mounting shelf cutouts.
8. Lower the tape drive into position and tighten the captive screw on the
mounting bracket to secure the tape drive in place.
Replace the upper drive-mounting shelf (if removed) and the enclosure cover.
