SCSI ID Setting

18
Part 2. Preparation
A single Wide SCSI bus allows connection of up to 15 peripheral SCSI
devices.
Use a commercially available SCSI cable appropriate to the peripheral device
for connections.
This drive uses a 68-pin half-pitch connector.
Precautions
• Switch off the host computer and peripherals before connecting the SCSI
cable.
• Make sure the SCSI connectors are pressed tightly together.
• If this unit is the last (or only) device on the SCSI bus, make sure to connect
a terminator to the appropriate unused SCSI connector. Using an
incompatible terminator may damage the unit.
• During LVD SCSI connections, make sure that the total length of the
cable(s) connecting the host computer and the last device on the SCSI bus is
no longer than 12 meters (39 feet). (During single-end SCSI connections,
make sure that the total length of the SCSI cable(s) is no longer than 1.5
meters (5 feet).)
Terminator
AC power
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 5. Press the switch buttons,
if necessary, to select the SCSI ID number you require. Because the host
adapter ID is usually set to 7, select some other value for the SCSI ID setting.
Precautions
• The SCSI ID must be different from IDs of the other peripherals on the
SCSI bus.
• When shipped from the factory, SCSI parity is enabled and Term power is
ON. Be sure to connect a terminator 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.
