以ROOT登錄，并確認系統(tǒng)在維護狀態(tài) 通過三種方式進入硬件/核心管理。

桌面：System Adminisfration->Hardware/Kernal Manager

通過命令行，啟動系統(tǒng)管理菜單并選擇“Hardware/Kernal Manager

直接用命令行：MKDEV TAPE

選擇第一項：“CONFIGURE SCSI TAPE DRIVER” 選擇第一項：“Install a Scsi Tape Device” 鍵入SCSI主適配器的字首，選擇“h”列出所支持的適配器 鍵入主適配器號 如果中斷和I/O地址正確，則對“CHANGE THESE PARAMETER?”提示符回答“N”，

如果不正確鍵入“Y”來修正。

鍵入設備所連接的SCSI總線 鍵入目標ID 鍵入驅(qū)動器的邏輯單元號 當提示后，更新SCSI配置 鍵入供應商提示串或用默認值 鍵入SCSI版本號，或用默認值 鍵入響應數(shù)據(jù)格式Response Data Format 選擇磁帶機驅(qū)動類型 鍵入新的引導串，或鍵入“q”采用默認值 查看配置檢查是否正確。重新連接核心并重新引導所用的磁帶驅(qū)動器

例：以LH3安裝SCO5.0.4為例：

安裝磁帶機：首先要確認硬件連接正確，在啟動機器時，記住系統(tǒng)檢測過程中提示的磁帶機的SCSI ID號（缺省值為3）。進入Unix系統(tǒng)，在系統(tǒng)維護狀態(tài)（單用戶狀態(tài)）下配置磁帶機，鍵入命令：mkdev tape屏幕顯示:
