About Scsi Controllers - Yamaha CRW2100SZ - CRW - CD-RW Drive Quick Start Manual

3.2) About SCSI Controllers

The Yamaha CRW2100SZ package does not include a SCSI host adapter card. A host
adapter card provides the interface between your PC and various peripheral devices. A
wide range of cards are available with various levels of performance, features and price. If
you plan to add peripherals such as scanners or external hard drives, you may want a
more capable host adapter. If, on the other hand, you plan to use the host adapter only to
connect this CD-RW, you may prefer a more economical controller. Yamaha recommends
Iwill 2930c / 2930u+ PCI SCSI controllers or Adaptec's AHA29xx/AHA39xx families of SCSI
cards.
You can purchase SCSI controller cards from your local computer peripheral retailer or you may
contact Yamaha toll-free at 888-926-2426 to purchase a compatible SCSI controller card.
Once you have selected a SCSI host adapter card, install it in your computer following the
directions provided in the card manufacturer's operating manual.
3.3) CRW2100SZ (SCSI) Drive Settings
Before installing your new CD-RW drive in your computer, you will need to set the
following jumpers:
• SCSI ID settings
• Parity setting
• Terminator setting
• Block size setting
You may set these jumpers by inserting a jumper pin in the jumper switch located on the
rear panel of your CD-RW drive.
Important Note: Use long-nose pliers to remove or insert jumper connectors. In the diagrams in this manual,
solid black fill is used to indicate locations where a jumper is used to short between pins.
