Configuration Switch Settings For Sw1 - National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A Installation Manual

terminating resistor installed. Depending on how you connect the GPIB-SCSI-A
to your system, you may want to remove the terminating resistor.
The only parameters available for configuration with this kit are
Note
the SCSI ID (Target ID) and the GPIB address. Do not change any other
switch settings from the factory default settings.
The factory default setting of the GPIB-SCSI-A Target ID is 5. To confirm that a
Target ID of 5 is available in your system, print out the startup messages from the
last time you booted with the following command:
dmesg
Among the startup messages are the devices found on the SCSI bus and their
respective Target ID numbers. If a Target ID of 5 is not available in your system,
select an unused Target ID (a number between 0 and 7) and set the appropriate
switch to that Target ID number (refer to the Configuration Switch Settings for
SW1 section). Typically, Targets 1 and 3 are used by the internal disks, Target 4 is
used by a tape drive (if you have a tape drive), and Target 0 is used by an external
disk drive. Target 7 is always used by the Sun SPARC system central processing
unit.

shows the factory default settings.
