SCSI ID

Important

Ensure that no more than 5 SCSI devices (internal or external) are attached to the Dock I SCSI controller.

Ensure that no more than 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) total maximum of cable length are used.

There are eight SCSI IDs—7 through 0. SCSI ID 7 is reserved exclusively for the SCSI controller. Each device must have a unique SCSI ID. You can set your devices—a maximum of 5—to any of the other available SCSI IDs.

Due to the method by which the SCSI controller services option devices, follow the guidelines below for establishing device SCSI IDs:

If you are installing:

IBM 3.5-inch SCSI Rewritable Optical Disk Drive, or

IBM 5.25-inch SCSI Rewritable Optical Disk Drive

use a lower SCSI ID than used for your hard disk drives.

If you are installing an IBM PS/2 CD-ROM drive (external), use a lower SCSI ID than used for your hard disk drives and the above rewritable optical disk drives.

An example of the recommended SCSI ID assignments is shown below.
