Setting Jumpers and Preparing the Disk Drive for Installation You can configure your drive with seven possible SCSI target address jumper settings: • See Figure 3-10 for the available SCSI target address jumper settings on an IBM drive. • See Figure 3-11 for the available SCSI target address jumper settings on a Seagate drive.
Page 50
1. Compare the drive configuration jumper settings to Figure 3-12 or Figure 3-12. • If your drive configuration jumper settings are the same as shown in the figure for your drive, leave them as they are. • If the jumper settings are not the same, use needlenose pliers and change the jumpers to match the settings shown for your particular drive.

Small Computer Systems Interface Information This appendix describes the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI). Topics covered in this appendix include: • SCSI ports and connections • SCSI bus length • SCSI bus termination information SCSI Ports and Connections If fast SCSI devices and old-style connectors must be used in the same system, the old-style connectors should be connected to a separate SCSI port that doesn’t contain fast SCSI devices.
Direct Connection Use a direct connection when you are connecting the first SCSI device in the SCSI bus to the desktop computer system by connecting one end of the SCSI cable to one of the SCSI ports of the DDP, and the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port of the desktop system.
