SCSI ID Setting

The SCSI ID is set by the rotary switch on the rear panel. Press the + or - buttons to move the number up or down, respectively.

As shipped from the factory, the SCSI ID is set to 0. Press the switch buttons, if necessary, to select the SCSI ID number you require.

Precautions

The SCSI ID must be different from IDs of the other peripherals on the SCSI bus.

As shipped from the factory, SCSI parity is enabled and Term power is ON. Since the terminating resistor inside the drive is disabled, a SCSI bus terminator must be connected to the SCSI bus before use.

Before changing the SCSI ID setting, be sure to turn off the power with the POWER switch on the front panel.
