以ROOT登录，并确认系统在维护状态 通过三种方式进入硬件/核心管理。 桌面：System Adminisfration->Hardware/Kernal Manager 通过命令行，启动系统管理菜单并选择“Hardware/Kernal Manager 直接用命令行：MKDEV TAPE
选择第一项：“CONFIGURE SCSI TAPE DRIVER” 选择第一项：“Install a Scsi Tape Device” 键入SCSI主适配器的字首，选择“h”列出所支持的适配器 键入主适配器号 如果中断和I/O地址正确，则对“CHANGE THESE PARAMETER?”提示符回答“N”， 如果不正确键入“Y”来修正。
键入设备所连接的SCSI总线 键入目标ID 键入驱动器的逻辑单元号 当提示后，更新SCSI配置 键入供应商提示串或用默认值 键入SCSI版本号，或用默认值 键入响应数据格式Response Data Format 选择磁带机驱动类型 键入新的引导串，或键入“q”采用默认值 查看配置检查是否正确。重新连接核心并重新引导所用的磁带驱动器 例：以LH3安装SCO5.0.4为例：安装磁带机：首先要确认硬件连接正确，在启动机器时，记住系统检测过程中提示的磁带机的SCSI ID号（缺省值为3）。进入UNIX系统，在系统维护状态（单用户状态）下配置磁带机，键入命令：mkdev tape屏幕显示:1.
