INSTALLATION

SETTING THE SCSI ID

SCSI devices are identified by a SCSI ID number from 0 through 7 with ID number 7 typically reserved for the SCSI interface card. The basic rule for assigning a SCSI ID number requires that: Each SCSI device have a unique ID number (address) on the SCSI bus. If two SCSI devices are assigned the same ID number, your computer will not operate properly.

Assigning a SCSI ID to the Drive if you have a PC:

To avoid conflicts with an existing SCSI device and the interface card, choose an unassigned number in the range of 0-6.

Tip: Make list of your SCSI devices and their assigned ID numbers to avoid a SCSI ID conflict.

Assigning a SCSI ID to the Drive:

¦The three SCSI ID setting switches 0, 1, and 2 (#1, #2 and #3) compose a digital switch. Please execute setting according to the following table.

The jumper is ON when a short-circuit socket is inserted to short-circuit the upper and lower pin, and it is OFF in open condition.

*If the personal computer has no other built-in SCSI equipment except this unit, please use the unit with the factory setting (ID No. 2).
