Page 82: Understanding Scsi Id Numbers
Understanding SCSI ID Numbers The workstation distinguishes each internal and external drive connected to a small computer system interface (SCSI) connector by the SCSI ID number (0 to 6) assigned to that drive. Each drive comes from the factory with a SCSI ID number already set.

To Install a Drive in the System Unit All internal hard disk drives are installed in the same way. Unpack the hard disk drives. Follow the instructions that came with your worksystem software to shut down the software. Type cnfg 3 and press Return. The workstation displays the conﬁguration for the base system hardware and any previously installed SCSI drives.

What kind of monitor is connected to it?
Page 155: Is It On
Is It On? The diagnostic indicator lights are eight small lights on the back of the system unit. They show whether the basic components of the workstation are turned on and ready for use. If the workstation does not turn on and no error message appears on the monitor, the pattern of the indicator lights indicates which portion of the power-up self-test failed.

Is It Working? Self-tests are programs that check your workstation hardware to be sure that it is functioning properly. Self-tests have numerous subtests that examine speciﬁc workstation components. When a subtest discovers a problem, it displays a coded message, called an error message, on the screen.
Page 166: How To Interpret Self-Test Messages
How to Interpret Self-Test Messages Self-tests display error messages when they discover problems in the hardware. If the slot number is 0, 1, or 2, the problem is in the TURBOchannel option slot that has the same number. If the slot number is 3, the problem is in the base system hardware.
