SCSI ID Number

When connecting SCSI devices to the VS-1824, the SCSI ID number of each device connected must be set so none of the devices have the same ID number. The VS-1824’s ID number is set to “7” at the factory. When connecting SCSI devices (such as a Zip drive or a CD-R drive) to the VS-1824, be sure to set the SCSI ID number for these devices to a number other than “7.” If no other SCSI ID number is available, it is possible to change the SCSI ID number of the VS-1824.
