Change the SCSI ID. Use a ball-point pen or similar pointed object to press
the + and
−
buttons above and below the SCSI ID display on the rear of the
drive to increase or decrease the number. Do not use a pencil because
particles of pencil lead might get into the drive.
Caution
Both the computer and tape drive check the SCSI ID only at power-on.
Always power-cycle the drive and reboot the computer after you change
the SCSI ID.
