Setting SCSI IDs for external devices

Installation procedure

Input/Output ports

Each SCSI device that is connected to a SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI ID, so
that the SCSI controller can identify the devices and ensure that different devices do
not attempt to transfer data at the same time. SCSI devices that are connected to
different SCSI controllers can have duplicate SCSI IDs. The SCSI controller uses one of
the SCSI IDs; the default SCSI ID for the SCSI controller is 7. Refer to the instructions
that come with the SCSI devices for more information about setting a SCSI ID.
To attach an external device:
1. Turn off the server and all attached devices.
2. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and
to connect it to the server.
