SCSI ID Settings for Drives Setting a Unique SCSI Address Each internal drive has a SCSI address that must be unique. If more than one drive is set to the same SCSI address, the system cannot communicate with the drives. When your drive arrives from the factory, all SCSI jumpers may be attached so that they are not lost during shipment.
Follow these steps to change a SCSI ID setting: Changing the Setting Jumpers: Jumpers are removable electrical connectors. Carefully remove or replace jumpers using tweezers or another small tool. Save any SCSI jumpers you remove; you may need them later. Switches: Carefully set the switches using a small pointed instrument, such as the tip of a ball-point pen.
