This section describes how to configure and install a

Seagate Travan SCSI tape drive. If you are installing an

ATAPI drive, see page 10.

NoteNote

Note

. In order to use your Seagate Travan SCSI tape

drive, you must have a SCSI controller and a 50-

pin (narrow) SCSI cable with at least one

unused SCSI connector. These drives

cannot

attached to 68-pin (wide) SCSI connectors.

Set the drive’s SCSI ID number.

Are any other SCSI devices going to be attached to the

same SCSI cable as the tape drive?

•

If the tape drive is the only device on the SCSI bus,

skip ahead to step d on page 17.

•

If the tape drive is going to be sharing a SCSI bus

with other devices, check the SCSI ID numbers used

by the other devices. Then set the drive’s SCSI ID to a

number that is not being used by any of the other

devices. The illustration at left shows jumper set-

tings for each SCSI ID number.
