Set The Scsi Id Selector Switch - HP C6388B User Manual

5. Set the SCSI ID Selector Switch

Follow the instructions about checking the SCSI IDs in your system owner's
guide to determine which SCSI IDs are in use on your system. Your external
disk drive ships preset to SCSI ID 5. If your system already uses a SCSI
device set to ID 5, change the SCSI ID of your drive to an unused ID.
The SCSI ID selector allows you to set the SCSI ID from 0 to 15. To change
the default setting, push the top button to select a lower number and push the
bottom button to select a higher number.
Note
Each SCSI device must be assigned a unique SCSI ID. Before selecting the
SCSI ID for this device, confirm which SCSI ID numbers are already in use
by internal and external devices. The default for an internal boot disk drive is
usually 6. The Boot ROM searches from bus address 6 to 0. Your boot disk
should have a higher bus address than any other device on the bus. SCSI
address 7 is usually reserved for the SCSI host adapter. For additional
information, see your workstation or server manual.
