If you want to configure your computer to boot from a SCSI hard
disk, make sure the SCSI ID of that hard disk is set to 0. Most
SCSI hard disks are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory. The SCSI
IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers; SCSI IDs for
external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the
device.
Terminate the Ends of the SCSI Bus
To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the device at
the end of the cable, or the end of the cable itself, must have
proper termination installed (or enabled). Terminators must be
removed, or termination must be disabled, on devices between
the ends of each cable.
Terminate LVD (Ultra160 and Ultra2) SCSI Devices
LVD SCSI devices are automatically unterminated. If you have
internal LVD SCSI devices, a special 68-pin internal LVD cable is
required to connect the devices. Internal LVD cables usually have
an LVD or Auto switching terminator built into the end of the
cable. With this type of cable, it is not necessary to terminate
individual internal LVD SCSI devices. If your cable does not have
a terminator built in, you must add a terminator to the end of the
cable.
Mount the Devices
If you have internal SCSI devices, mount each device in an
available drive bay inside your computer, as shown below. Refer
to your computer and device documentation for instructions on
installing devices inside your computer.
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160LP is preset to SCSI ID 7
and should not be changed.
