If the default ID is occupied by another device on the bus, set the SCSI ID
on the expansion box to an open ID.

ID switches that must be set to different IDs. Remember, no two devices on
any single SCSI bus can occupy the same SCSI ID. See the documentation
supplied with your expansion box for more information on setting SCSI IDs.

expansion box.

Connect the power cord of the second expansion box to the expansion power
receptacle and plug the other end into an electrical outlet. Each expansion
