    SCSI peripherals, however, it is necessary to set each peripheral to a unique SCSI ID number. Your Plextor CD-ROM drive can be set to use one of eight SCSI ID numbers. The drive should arrive with its SCSI ID set to 3. Accordingly, if you already use another SCSI peripheral, and its SCSI ID also is set to 3, you must change the SCSI ID number of either this peripheral or that of the CD-ROM drive.
  • Page 22: Px-32Xse External Drive

    For example, the factory setting of the SCSI ID at 3 is made by installing a jumper on pin 1 and pin 2 of the jumper block, leaving pin 3 uncovered. To set the SCSI ID at 7, you would install a jumper across pin 1, another jumper across pin 2, and a third jumper across pin 3.
