Connecting External SCSI Devices

To connect external SCSI devices:

Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, and ground
yourself by touching the chassis.

Verify that each external SCSI device you are installing has a
unique SCSI ID from 0 to 6. Refer to the SCSI device’s
documentation to determine the SCSI ID setting.

Note:

If any two SCSI devices (external or internal) have

the same SCSI ID, change the ID on one device. The
PowerDomain 2930 is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not
be changed.

For most external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID is set with a switch
on the back of the device, as shown.
