Scsi Id Numbers - Dell PowerEdge 4300 Installation And Troubleshooting Manual

Follow these guidelines when configuring the SCSI drive:
Disable termination on the drive. The SCSI backplane board provides termination
for the SCSI bus.
Set the SCSI ID on all drives to 0. All SCSI ID numbers for the drives are set by
the SCSI backplane board, as shown in Figure 10-2.
Configure the drive so that the drive motor waits for a Start Unit command from
the SCSI host adapter before spinning.
SCSI ID 5
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating sys-
tem to partition and format SCSI hard-disk drives. See Chapter 3, "Installing and
Configuring SCSI Drivers," in the Dell PowerEdge 4300 Systems User's Guide for
information and instructions.
When formatting a high-capacity SCSI hard-disk drive, be sure to allow enough time
for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. A
9-gigabyte (GB) hard-disk drive, for example, can take up to 2.5 hours to format.
