4-11. SCSI ID Setting

All SCSI devices, including this motherboard with onboard SCSI, must have a SCSI identification number that is not in use by any other SCSI device. There are sixteen possible ID numbers, 0 through 15. SCSI ID settings are made through DIP switches located on the SCSI backplane board.

Using the SCSI Backplane Boards Separately

Each SCSI backplane board supports four hard drives. If you are only installing four or less hard drives in the hot-swap bays, only one SCSI backplane board is needed. You may also use two SCSI channels and treat each SCSI backplane board separately. The SCSI ID for the hard drives used in each slot is determined by the SCSI ID DIP switch. The switch controls two sets of SCSI IDs so individual ID settings cannot be made. The following table shows the results when setting the SCSI ID switch to either the ON or OFF position.
