doors in place.  
Use the following guidelines when configuring your  
SCSI cables:  
Use the highest quality SCSI cables. Bus errors  
caused by excessive length or poor quality  
cables can significantly degrade performance  
and reliability.  
f. Remove and discard the  
pull-tabs used to block  
the latch mechanism  
when closing the doors.  
Retaining screws  
g. Secure the front panel  
Each tape drive in the library (and the library  
controller) is a separate SCSI target. When  
more than one device is connected to the same  
bus, each separate device must be assigned a  
unique SCSI ID.  
to the rack enclosure using the retaining  
screws and then close the doors.  
Note: Two-drive libraries require four  
retaining screws; four-drive libraries  
require two retaining screws.

SCSI IDs are set at the factory. Use the GUI touch  
screen to change any of the factory defaults.  
To connect a library to a host, the host must have at  
least one Wide LVD/SE controller and the appropriate  
driver software.  
For best performance, do not attach more than two  
drives per bus. A maximum of one tape drive per bus  
is recommended for Ultrium 460 and 960 tape drives.  
HP recommends that the robot and drive 0  
be attached to host bus 0.  
For Windows servers, power on the library before  
powering on the server.
