2.3.4 Setting SCSI IDs

You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI ID, 0

through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving

it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. If you plan to boot your computer from a

hard disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have SCSI ID 0, or the lowest

SCSI ID on the bus. Chapter 3, Configuring the Host Adapter explains how to set

your host adapter ID using the ASUS SCSI Configuration Utility. The peripheral

device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a switch on the peripheral.

Refer to the peripheral manufacturer's instructions and to the user's manual for

your computer to determine the ID of each device and how to change it. You

must have no duplication of SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.

NOTE: As SCAM support is OFF by default for the PCI-SC896, you

may choose to turn this ON to assist in assigning SCSI IDs.

Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus. Note any duplications.

Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the IDs for future

reference. The following table is provided as a place to keep this record.

Normally, you do not change the default interrupt routing for the PCI-SC896,

since performance is usually increased by having two separate interrupts.
