Assigning SCSI Device IDs

Ultra, Wide SCSI IDs

Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check your SCSI device IDs. To check which SCSI device IDs are available and assign an ID to your device, follow these instructions which use Table 29.

1Write in the type of each device currently connected to your system under the heading “Ultra, Wide SE SCSI Device Drives” and each drive’s SCSI device ID under the heading “Device ID.”

2Add your new drive to the table.

3Check to see what SCSI device IDs are not used. You may use ID numbers 0 through 6 and 8 through 15 if they are not already in use. If the default ID on your drive does not conflict with any existing drive IDs, use that ID. If your default address conflicts with an existing drive ID, assign a new ultra, wide SE SCSI de- vice ID to your drive. Refer to the drive’s installation documentation for informa- tion on changing the device ID.

CAUTION:

 

Do not use SCSI device ID 7 for any device.
