Connecting to the Computer

Connecting Two or More SCSI Devices

When connecting two or more SCSI devices (including this scanner), be careful of the following points.

About Daisy Chain Configurations

When connecting multiple SCSI devices to the computer, connect them in a series as shown below. This configuration is called a “daisy chain”. Normally, several SCSI devices can be connected to a single SCSI controller. (The number of SCSI devices and the requirements for connection depend on the SCSI card standard and the type of SCSI devices involved.)

SCSI IDs and Terminator Settings

The SCSI ID and terminator settings for each device must be correct for them to operate.

• The SCSI ID

A SCSI ID is a unique identification number for each SCSI device in a daisy chain. No two numbers can be the same.
