Assigning SCSI IDs
If you connect more than one SCSI device to your
MiniSCSI EPP simultaneously, make sure that each
device's SCSI ID (device number between 0 and 6) is
different; ID 7 is reserved for the adapter and cannot
be changed. IDs must be different to prevent conflicts
when the adapter communicates with the devices.
See your SCSI device documentation for details.
Terminating the SCSI Bus
The SCSI devices on both ends of the SCSI bus must
be terminated. See the following subsections for
details on termination.
Terminating the Host Adapter
MiniSCSI EPP termination is set to Enabled by
default. This setting cannot be changed.
Terminating SCSI Peripherals
1
Read the manufacturer's documentation to deter-
mine how to enable or disable termination on
SCSI device(s).
2
Install or enable terminators on the last SCSI
devices at the end of the SCSI bus.
3
Remove terminators or disable termination on all
other peripheral devices in the middle of the SCSI
bus.
4
Be sure the SCSI cables are connected securely.
They may have been loosened if you changed
jumper or switch settings on the peripherals.
Termination Power
The SCSI device(s) connected to the MiniSCSI EPP
provides power to the adapter and, thus, must be
equipped with the standard TERMPOWER output
(which is part of the SCSI connector interface specifi-
cation). See your SCSI device manual or dealer to
confirm this. Your MiniSCSI EPP requires TERM-
POWER to operate.
