Preparing to Install Your Storage Device

This section describes information that you need to consider and procedures that you need to perform before installing any storage device.

Configuring your Storage Device

Table 15 lists the recommended SCSI IDs for internal storage devices. If an existing device already uses one of the suggested IDs, select an alternate ID.

Table 15 Default SCSI IDs

Fast, Wide SCSI and Ultra Wide SCSI

1st Hard Disk Drive	ID 6
2nd Hard Disk Drive	ID 5

Note: The Fast, Wide SCSI and Ultra Wide controller is set to SCSI ID 7.

Single-Ended SCSI
CD-ROM Drive	ID 2
DDS Drive	ID 3
1st Hard Disk Drive	ID 6
2nd Hard Disk Drive	ID 5

Notes: The floppy drive is NOT a SCSI device.

Each SCSI controller uses SCSI ID 7.

NOTICE:The floppy disk drive is not a SCSI device.

Set the jumpers and SCSI IDs according to the installation instructions that came with your device. Narrow Single-Ended SCSI can use addresses in the range 0 through 7, with 7 reserved for the controller. Fast, Wide Differential and Ultra, Wide Single-Ended SCSI can use addresses in the range 0 through 15, with 7 reserved for the controller.

Determining Your Storage Devices Position

Each storage device is restricted as to where in the storage tray it may be installed. Before installing a storage device, use Figure 23 and Table 16 to determine which disk tray position is correct for your device.
