By default, switch 9 is set to ON, enabling SCSI Wide (16-bit) operation. To enable SCSI Narrow (8-bit) operation, set switch 9 to the OFF position. This allows the DDS-4 drive to terminate the upper byte of the SCSI bus. NOTE: Narrow SCSI is not recommended. Switch 9 is reserved on internal DAT 72 drives. Vendor ID Settings: Switch 10 ON = Vendor ID is "SEAGATE DAT" (default) Switch 10 OFF = Vendor ID is "ARCHIVE Python" Switch 10 determines the vendor ID that the internal tape drive returns when it receives a SCSI "Inquiry" command. Setting switch 10 to the OFF position configures the drive to return the vendor ID ARCHIVE Python. Independent software vendors can use this vendor ID to provide software compatibility with previous Seagate DDS tape drives. Recording Drive Information After you review and, if necessary, change the drive's default settings, record the drive information. That way, you can reference this information in the future, without having to gain access to the drive inside your computer. 25 Installing internal tape drives Accessing the Inside of Your Computer Accessing the Inside of Your Computer To gain access to the inside of your computer: 1. Remove the computer's power cord from the computer's AC connector. Remove the computer cover to gain access to the inside of the computer. The documentation that came with your computer should explain this procedure. NOTE: If you have to disconnect cables to gain access to the mounting bay, note which cables were removed. You can then refer to this information when you reconnect the cables at the end of this procedure. 4. Select an available 3. 5-inch or 5. 25-inch mounting bay, depending on the internal tape drive you want to install. NOTE: The internal tape drive can be mounted horizontally or vertically (on its side). 5. 6. If the mounting bay has a "filler panel, " remove it according to the instructions in your computer's documentation. Place the screws aside, You will need them to secure the drive in the bay. If the computer does not have a SCSI host adapter, you will need to purchase and install a SCSI host adapter. Mounting the Internal Tape Drive An internal tape drive without mounting brackets can be installed into a 3. 5-inch drive bay. An internal tape drive with mounting brackets can be installed into a 5. 25-inch drive bay. · · To mount the internal tape drive into a 3. 5-inch bay, see "Mounting the Internal Tape Drive" starting on page 26. To mount the internal tape drive into a 5. 25-inch bay, see "Mounting the Drive into a 5. 25inch Drive Bay" starting on page 28. Mounting the Drive into a 3. 5-inch Drive Bay The following procedure describes how to mount the drive in a 3. 5-inch drive bay. This procedure assumes your drive is not equipped with side-mounting brackets. Orient the drive so the front of the drive faces the front of the computer. Align the drive's front panel with the front panel of the computer. 26 Installing internal tape drives Mounting the Internal Tape Drive 4. Secure the drive in the mounting bay using two M3. 0 metric screws on each side of the drive (see Figure 5 on page 27). As Figure 6 on page 27 shows, the 3. 5-inch drive has four screw holes on the bottom and five on each side. WARNING: Do not use screws longer than 4 mm; otherwise, you may damage the drive. 5. Proceed to "Connecting a SCSI Cable" on page 29. FIGURE 5. [. . . ] This software uploads a firmware file via SCSI from your host computer to the tape drive.
