Setting the SCSI ID The PDC-3000 camera is a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) device. You can connect up to seven SCSI devices to your computer, one to another in a SCSI chain.
Note: If you are connecting the PDC-3000 camera to an IBM PC or compatible computer, the computer must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI adapter. (See System requirements on page 14.)
The PDC-3000 camera’s SCSI ID is preset to 4 at the factory. You do not need to change this number unless another SCSI device in the chain is already using it. To determine whether 4 is already being used, check the user guides of the other devices or run a SCSI utility program.
WARNING: EACH SCSI DEVICE CONNECTED TO
YOUR COMPUTER MUST HAVE ITS OWN UNIQUE ID
NUMBER SO YOUR COMPUTER CAN DISTINGUISH IT
FROM OTHER ATTACHED SCSI DEVICES. USING TWO
OR MORE DEVICES WITH THE SAME ID NUMBER
CAN CAUSE THEM TO MALFUNCTION. YOU CAN
LOSE DATA AS A RESULT.
If the PDC-3000 is your only external SCSI device or no other device in the chain is using ID 4, skip the rest of this section and go on to Installing and charging the batteries on page 27. If you must change the camera’s SCSI ID, use the following steps:
