2.5 Setting Up SCSI Devices

There are several things to do before you connect your SCSI devices to the ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card:

•Check the SCSI IDs•Set the termination•Connect the power cables

Since setup can vary from device to device, always refer to the device’s documentation for specific instructions.

Below are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on your devices. Refer to the Appendix for more information on these topics.

2.5.1 Check the SCSI IDs

The ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card and each device you connect to it must have a unique SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15 on each channel. The peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions and to the user’s manual for your computer to determine the ID of each device and how to change it. No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID.

The ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0. (Most SCSI hard disks are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory.) The SCSI IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers; SCSI IDs for external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the device.
