Table 8-24  SCSI ID 
1 = shorted, 0 = open
The HP A3542A reads the SCSI ID at power up and during selftest in order to determine the 
selected target ID of the tape drive on the interface bus. Data Compression Control is not used in 
this system application. Terminator Power - When jumper is installed, the device will supply ter-
mination power to pin 26 of the SCSI bus. (Note, this device has no on board termination 
capability.)
