1. Shutdown system.
2. Cable to suitable bus with at least one ID free. Arrange for the
drive to use one of those unused IDs.
3. Boot.
4. Run the file command on "/dev/rmt*h" to see which set of special
file was created for the tape drive:
# file /dev/rmt*h
The hard part is likely to be the physical installation and connection
to a bus. How hard that is depends on all the information you didn't
provide:
o Model of TLZ07 (table top or internal)
o System type
o What sort of SCSI busses it has available and what else is on
those busses.
o Whether you have the appropriate mounting hardware if the drive
is for internal use and you have a suitable bay for it.
Every model of TLZ07 that I've seen is Narrow and Single-ended. I
suspect they're also basic SCSI-2 5 Mhz, but there may have been
Fast (10 Mhz) models. The Narrow/SE is relevant for what sort of
adapter you connect it to. For most systems that we sold with
built-in adapters, they'll be suitable.
