Seagate DAT Drive Installation Manual

Installing an internal DAT drive

Internal drive installation involves three main steps:
1. Configuring the drive
2. Mounting the drive
3. Connecting power and interface cables
Internal DAT drives come in two configurations, for
mounting in 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch drive bays, respectively.
Except for mounting the drive, installation procedures are
the same for both types of drives.

Configuring an internal DAT drive

Before you install the tape drive in your computer, you
may need to configure the drive's SCSI ID or other drive
features. Most features are set using a bank of dip-
switches on the underside of the drive. To control SCSI
termination and terminator power or to configure the
drive for remote SCSI address selection, use the jumpers
on the back of the drive (beneath the interface and power
connectors).
Dip-switch settings
Figures 1 and 2 on page 4 show the location of dip
switches on the underside of 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch
internal drives, respectively. You can access the
switchbank through a rectangular cutout in the drive
shell.
Note. DDS-3 drives have two additional reserved dip
switches on each switchbank. These reserved switches
are not shown in Figures 1 and 2.
