Although the Tandberg Data current range is many, the set up instructions are basically the same for each drive. Each drive is shipped with an extensive helpful set up manual.   Pictured below is a diagram of a Tandberg 525Mb, and below you will find instructions and a brief guide to get you through the installation procedure. Further instruction and details can be located at Tandberg's web site www.tandberg.com.  However, Craystone are more than willing to supply extensive brochure packs, product information  and of course pricing.

INTRODUCTION
The following tables and notes give a quick guide in setting up the Tandberg Data SLR 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 24, 32 and 50 drives.
The notes explain the setting of the 10/16 pin jumper block and the terminating resistors where applicable. 

NB.You can choose any SCSI ID value from 0 to 7 on the Tandberg SLR 1/2/3/4/5.  See table below.  To do this pin pairs 2,3 and 4 are arranged in various ON(jumpered) OFF(no jumper) combinations.  So for example  SCSI ID 5 would be ON OFF ON (1 + 0 + 4 = 5).

NB.You can choose any SCSI ID value from 0 to 15 on the Tandberg SLR 32/50.  See table below.  To do this pin pairs 3, 4, 5 and 6 are arranged in various ON(jumpered) OFF(no jumper) combinations.  So for example  SCSI ID 10 would be ON OFF ON OFF (8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 10).

Termination
Tandberg SLR 1/2/3/4/5
Tandberg  SLR1/2/3/4/5 have passive terminator resistor packages that are mounted inside the drive, these resistors must be in place if the drive is either a stand alone unit or last in a chain of devices - click on the termination links for further explanation of SCSI termination.
There is also a TERMINATION POWER jumper located on the jumper block (Pin Pair 1) this must be jumpered to connect power to the SCSI bus. When jumpered, termination power is supplied by the drive, without a jumper the power is supplied by the host.
Tandberg SLR 32/50
Tandberg SLR 32/50 have a longer jumper block, comprising 16 pin pairs. This means that the termination set-up is different from the SLR 1/2/3/4/5. The Tandberg SLR32/50 have built in active termination (instead of  termination resistors packages) that must be activated/disabled by a jumper if the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI BUS.    The termination jumper is found on pin pair 2 of the jumper block - click on the termination links for further explanation of SCSI termination.
Like the Tandberg SLR 1/2/3/4/5 range the Tandberg SLR 32/50 have the same TERMINATION POWER jumper found at pin pair 1 on the jumper block.

Backwards Compatibility
Data cartridges for older technology tape drives have lower capacities and older data formats. Newer technology tape drives have higher capacities and newer data formats. "Format" simply means how the data is recorded on tape. Data formats are industry standard. The important benefit is being able to read old data on new tape drives since, over a period of years, you may have either upgraded your only tape drive or added a number of newer tape drives in your company. As shown in the table below, when you grow to newer Tandberg Data Products you can be assured of backward compatibility - an important feature to look for when purchasing your first (or next) tape data storage management solution.
