assign ID values 0 through 7. Be sure that the ID you choose is not used by another device on the SCSI bus.

Your Seagate drive is shipped by the factory configured as SCSI ID 3—jumpers are attached to pins 3 and 4 and pin 5 and 6. You must reconfigure the SCSI ID if another device is assigned SCSI ID 3 or if you are making the drive the bootable drive. The bootable drive must be Drive C. It must be assigned the ID number your SCSI adapter recognizes as the first position on the bus. Usually, this is SCSI ID 0 (refer to your SCSI host adapter documentation).

If installing your new drive puts more than two drives on the bus, your SCSI adapter may require that you install a device driver or that you reconfigure its onboard BIOS. Refer to your SCSI adapter’s user guide for instructions on how to install the third drive. If a device driver is required, it will be provided by the SCSI adapter manufacturer.

Remote LED. You can connect a remote LED to the drive using pins 9 and 10 on jumper block J8. Connect the LED ground wire (usually the black wire) to pin 9.

Remote start. This setting causes the drive to wait for a specific command from the host before it starts or stops the spindle motor.

Parity enable. Parity is a method that is sometimes used for error detection. The drive is shipped with parity enabled.

Terminators. The drive is designed with single-ended drivers and receivers and must be used with other SCSI devices that use single-ended drivers and receivers. These systems require that terminators be used at both ends of the SCSI bus to ensure the integrity of the signal. The drive has built-in terminators that can be enabled or disabled as required. It is shipped with the termi-
