SETTING THE SCSI ID
Turn off the computer and all the devices in the SCSI chain before changing SCSI IDs, connecting, or disconnecting SCSI cables. Hardware damage may occur if this precaution is not followed.
A SCSI ID is a unique address you assign to each SCSI device connected to your computer. The SCSI ID range of your computer is from 0 to 7, however some ID's are already occupied.

2.Determine which SCSI IDs are not being used.
3.Using a pointed object, set the switches to an
unused SCSI ID.
• The Dimâge Scan Elite’s SCSI ID is factory preset to 5. If 5 is not occupied, there is no need to change the SCSI ID.
• Two operating SCSI devices in the same SCSI chain cannot share a
SCSI ID.
