Introduction
Setting the SCSI-2 Address
The DDS-3 drive must have a unique SCSI-2 target address. The DDS-3 drive jumpers are set at the factory to the SCSI-2 default address of 3, as shown in Figure 1–3. We recommend that you keep the default address, if possible.
You must also ensure that the Operation Mode jumpers are set for correct drive operation, as shown in Figure 1–4. We ship the drive with the Operation Mode jumpers set to operate correctly with your system.
CAUTION: SCSI tape drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrostatic
shock. When handling a DDS-3 drive, always wear the static­grounding wrist strap that comes in the DDS-3 drive kit, and al­ways handle the drive carefully.
Electrostatic charges can damage drives. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during unpack­ing and installation:
D Stand on a static-free mat. D Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic
ge discharges from your body to ground.
char
D Connect all equipment together, including the static-free mat,
static strap, routing nodes, and peripheral units.
D Keep uninstalled DDS-3 drives in their protective antistatic
bags.
If you need to change the DDS-3 drive address or operation mode, follow these instructions, referring to Figures 1–3 and 1–4:
1. Locate the jumpers at the back of the DDS-3 drive.
2. To change the jumper settings, use needlenose pliers to set the drive’s SCSI ID to an
address that is not used by another SCSI device. Check that the other jumpers are set correctly.

Address Jumpers
To set the drive’s address, use the SCSI-2 address jumpers, and perform the following steps:
1. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by following the instructions on the package.
2. Locate the address jumpers on the rear of the DDS-3 drive. Figure 1–3 shows the
derside of the DDS-3 tape drive. Switches 1 and 2 are used to configure the data compression operation mode. Switches 3 through 8 are used to specify drive connec­tivity and functionality according to host or customer requirements. The default set­ting is all switches ON.
Attach one end of the strap to the system chassis.
rear of the DDS-3 drive with the significant bits identified.

3. Set the drive’s SCSI-2 target address to an address that’s not used by another SCSI-2
device. Using Figure 1–3 as a guide, use needlenose pliers to set the jumpers. When finished, refer to “Preparing the System,” later in this chapter, for information on verifying the jumpers have been set correctly and your system sees the drive.
NOTICE: Do not use SCSI-2 address 7 because the system’s SCSI-2
controller uses address 7 by default. We advise that you do not SCSI-2 address 6 because the root disk drive uses it.

3. Shut down the system.
If you are running HP-UX under HP VUE, shut down your system according to the shutdown procedure described in the owner’s guide that came with your worksta­tion.
If you are running HP-UX without HP VUE, shut down your system by typing the following command:
1–12
# /etc/shutdown -h
RETURN
You must have superuser privileges to use the /etc/shutdown command. If you do not have superuser privileges, contact your system administrator.
If your workstation is part of a cluster, refer to Managing Clusters of HP 9000 Com- puters for instructions on shutting down.
SCSI-2 Connection and Termination
Only single-ended SCSI-2 configuration is supported. Only unshielded connectors can be used. The DDS-3 drive does not support termination on the device itself. Normally, drives such
as this are not required to be at the end of a bus, but if this is unavoidable, HP recommends using a feed-through SCSI terminator that plugs directly into the rear of the drive.
If you do not already have a SCSI terminator, you must order either terminator K2291 (bale-lock style) or terminator C2904A (thumbscrew style).
NOTICE: Use care when inserting and removing feed-through terminators to
avoid damaging the end walls of the terminator and the drive.
Powering Off the Workstation and Any Peripherals
To power off the workstation and any peripherals, perform the following steps:
1. Power off the workstation, using the power switch on the front of the workstation.
CAUTION: Do not power off your workstation without first shutting down
HP-UX. Powering off with HP-UX still running could damage the data on the disks associated with your workstation.
Introduction
If you are already at the boot-administration level (the level used to check the SCSI-2 IDs), you do not need to shut down before powering off.
If you accidentally rebooted HP-UX while determining the address settings, see “Preparing the System,” earlier in this chapter, for instructions on shutting down HP-UX.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the workstation and the wall outlet.
3. Power off any external peripherals attached to your workstation, and unplug their
power cables from the wall outlet.
