ST150176LC installation

1.Set the SCSI ID on the drive.

Determine which SCSI IDs are already being used in the system and then assign the disc drive a SCSI ID that isn’t already being used. Use the J6 connector located on the front of the drive to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 12).

• This drive is SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Mat-

ically) compliant. If you are installing this drive in a SCAM compliant system, you can skip this step because the system automatically assigns the drive

SCSI ID.

The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses SCSI ID 7 so this SCSI ID is not usually available for disc drives or other devices.

Most ST150176LC drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at 0. If this is the only SCSI drive in your system and there are no other SCSI devices on the daisychain, you can leave this drive’s SCSI ID set to 0 and proceed to the next step. A device is any hardware other than an inline termina- tor that is connected to the SCSI cable.
