Hard Drive Installation Guidelines
Select models feature a Wide Ultra2 SCSI host adapter that
supports up to fifteen wide internal and external SCSI devices.
Select models come with an internal SCSI hard drive
preinstalled. Additional high-performance SCSI devices can be
added to these select models.
When installing additional SCSI devices, you must adhere to the
following guidelines:
The Wide Ultra2 SCSI host adapter supports up to 15 wide
SCSI devices.
Every SCSI device must have a unique identification (ID)
number (0 - 15). The SCSI host adapter identifies signals to
and from a SCSI device by its SCSI ID number rather than
its location. Moving a SCSI device from one position to
another on the SCSI chain does not affect the communi-
cation between the controller and the SCSI device. The
reserved and available SCSI ID numbers for SCSI devices
are as follows:
0 is reserved for the hard drive.
1 through 4 are available.
5 is reserved for a CD-ROM drive.
6 is available.
7 is reserved for the SCSI host adapter.
8 - 15 are available.
