SCSI ID Settings

The system backplane can be configured with a single SCSI controller, with two
controllers, or with three controllers. For each configuration, the CDROM drive and
tape drive IDs are manually set at address 4 and 5, respectively. StorageWorks drive
IDs are set automatically by the backplane using a combination of three jumper
settings (W1, W2, W3) on the backplane. Table 9-8, Table 9-9, and Table 9-10
show these settings.

Single-Controller Configuration Jumper Options

Table 9-8 shows the SCSI IDs and jumpers installed (W1, W2, W3) for a system
with a single-controller configuration.

Note: The system does not recognize two drives with the same ID number.
Seven drives is the maximum number this configuration can recognize. A
backplane jumper cable enables you to configure all seven StorageWorks drives.
If you use slots 4 and 5, you must disable the CDROM drive and the tape drive.
If you use the CDROM drive and the tape drive, you must remove drives from
slots 4 and 5.
