First set the SCSI ID to 4 using the switch on the rear of the case.
Power down your system.
Connect the drive to your SCSI port and power it on
Start your machine and interrupt the boot sequence to get an ok prompt.
probe-scsi should list the drive on ID4.
boot -r will create the device nodes

Your drive should now be available as /dev/rmt/0
Insert a tape and wait for the drive to stabilise.
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status should indicate that a tape is loaded.
