SCSI ID Setting

The SCSI bus allows connection of up to fifteen peripherals to the host
computer. Use a SCSI cable with a half pitch 68 pin connector.
Precautions
• Switch off the host computer and peripherals before connecting the SCSI
cable.
• Make sure the SCSI connectors are pressed tightly together.
• If this unit is the last (or only) device on the Wide SCSI bus, make sure to
connect a terminator to the appropriate unused Wide SCSI connector. Using
an incompatible terminator may damage the unit.
• With an Ultra Wide SCSI bus, the total length of the SCSI cable(s)
connecting the host computer and the last device on the SCSI bus should be
less than 12 meters (39 feet). (If a SCSI single-end host adapter is at the end
of the SCSI bus, use less than 1.5 meters of SCSI cable.)

The cables should be less than 1.5 meter, if connected to single-ended SCSI host adaptor.
The SCSI ID is set by the rotary switch on the rear panel. Press the + or -
buttons to move the number up or down, respectively.
As shipped from the factory, the SCSI ID is set to 5. Press the switch buttons,
if necessary, to select the SCSI ID number you require. Because the host
adapter ID is usually set to 7, select some other value for the SCSI ID setting.
Precautions
• The SCSI ID must be different from IDs of the other peripherals on the
SCSI bus.
• When shipped from the factory, SCSI parity is enabled and Term power is
ON. Be sure to connect a terminator to the SCSI bus before use.
• Before changing the SCSI ID setting, be sure to turn off the power with the
POWER switch on the front panel.
