Reviewing Drive Default Settings 2
Your internal tape drive comes with various default settings. These
settings are configured using jumpers and switches.
• Jumpers are located on the back of the drive, between the SCSI
interface and power connectors
• Switches are located on the underside of the drive. If you change a
switch setting, you must turn the drive off and then on to have the
new setting take effect.
You may need to change these settings to suit your requirements. Review
the default settings in table 2
to determine whether they suit your
requirements or need to be changed.
• If you do not need to change these default settings, skip to Accessing
the Inside of Your Computer.
