SETTING THE SCSI ID
The Dimâge Scan Multi II’s SCSI ID is factory preset to 5. If 5 is not being used by another operating SCSI device in the SCSI chain, it is not necessary to change the SCSI ID.
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 IDs are already occupied by your computer.
Occupied SCSI ID
IBM PC/AT:
7 (SCSI host adapter)
Macintosh:
0 (internal hard drive)*
3 (internal
7(system)
*IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive.
**Macintosh systems with a dual bus have SCSI ID 3 available on the external bus.
TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND ALL THE SCSI DEVICES BEFORE CHANGING SCSI IDS, CONNECTING SCSI CABLES, OR DISCONNECTING SCSI CABLES.
