Step 4. Determining the SCSI Address (for RS/6000 or pSeries
Systems Only)
Before you install the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive, you must find a SCSI address that is
not an address being used by another device. To find an unused SCSI address, you
must:
v Identify the name and the port of the host system SCSI I/O controller to which
v Identify the SCSI address of that SCSI I/O controller
v Identify the SCSI addresses of other devices connected to that SCSI I/O

7210 DVD-RAM Drive Setup and Operator Guide
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the system. It is the
customer's responsibility to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)
under the topics:

addresses 0-7 can be used as addresses for the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive. Even

narrow bus, it is designed to not impact the function of the other devices on
the wide bus; they still negotiate a wide attachment and run at appropriate
data rates.
