Devices on the same SCSI bus must have unique ID numbers (however, devices on different SCSI buses may use the same SCSI ID number).

Setting up a SCSI device to use with your server involves:

msetting the device’s SCSI ID number

mphysically connecting the device to your server (including appropriate termination)

minstalling any necessary device drivers (and restarting your system)

Setting the SCSI ID number

If you have a SCSI device not sold by Apple, see the instructions that came with that device for information on setting its SCSI ID number.

WARNING Each SCSI device connected to your server must have its own, unique SCSI ID number. Using two or more devices with the same ID number (on the same SCSI bus) can cause your equipment to malfunction.

If you have an Apple SCSI device, set the SCSI ID number as follows:

1Make sure your server is shut down and the SCSI device is turned off.

2Choose a number between 0 and 6 that doesn’t duplicate the ID of any other SCSI device connected to your server on the same SCSI bus.

The following table shows the server’s default SCSI ID numbers as well as the SCSI ID numbers available for you to use on the internal/external bus.
