POWERING UP THE HARD DISK

SETTING THE SCSI ID

NOTE: It is important that each disk module be given an ID (from 0 through 6) that is not used by any other Z Microsystems’ disk module on the same bus, or any other device, such as a tape drive or CD-ROM that may already be on the bus.

NOTE: Depending on the computer of the host computer, the choice of ID number for the TranzPak 6 disk module may be limited. Some operating systems reserve certain ID numbers for disk drives. Consult the computer’s User Guide if the initial ID setting is not recognized by the host operating system.

NOTE: The host computer may or may not recognize the addition of a device on the SCSI bus. The computer may have to be rebooted after adding a new device. Refer to the operating system manual.

NOTE: Refer to the TranzPak 6 User Manual for details about system operations.

The disk module handle is the on/off power switch for the hard disk drive. When the handle is pushed fully in, power is applied to the hard disk drive inside the disk module.

The hard disk will spin and the light green power LED will illuminate, staying illuminated as long as the handle is fully in.

When there is power going to the disk module, the SCSI Identification (ID) number appears in a window above the function switch on the disk module front panel.

At the top of that window is a small hole in the panel. To set or change the SCSI ID, use a small blunt-end probe and gently but firmly press the switch that is behind the panel. Each push (click) advances the ID by one number.
