is applied, until the electronics is activated and able to set the
SCSI IDs electronically.
The physical SCSI IDs should match the SCSI IDs set by the
library electronics. Ensure that the SCSI IDs that are set by the
rotary switch and from the control panel do not conflict with any
SCSI bus controller SCSI ID.
The following sections describe how to prepare the TL895 for use on a shared
SCSI bus in more detail.
8.10.1 TL895 Robotic Controller Required Firmware
Robotic firmware version N2.20 is the minimum firmware revision supported
in a TruCluster Server cluster. For information on upgrading the robotic
firmware, see the Flash Download section of the TL895 DLT Tape Library
Diagnostic Software User’s Manual.
8.10.2 Setting the TL895 Tape Library SCSI IDs
The library and each tape drive must have the SCSI ID set (unless the
default is sufficient). Table 8–11 lists the TL895 default SCSI IDs.

The SCSI IDs must be set mechanically by the rotary switches, and
electronically from the control panel. After you have set the SCSI IDs from
the switches, power up the library and electronically set the SCSI IDs.
To electronically set the SCSI ID for the TL895 library and tape drives,
follow these steps:
1. At the control panel, press the Operator tab.
