2.3.4 Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI ID, 0
through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving
it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. If you plan to boot your computer from a
hard disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have SCSI ID 0, or the lowest
SCSI ID on the bus. Chapter 3, Configuring the Host Adapter explains how to set
your host adapter ID using the ASUS SCSI Configuration Utility. The peripheral
device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a switch on the peripheral.
Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions and to the user’s manual for
your computer to determine the ID of each device and how to change it. You
must have no duplication of SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.
NOTE: As SCAM support is OFF by default for the PCI-SC896, you
may choose to turn this ON to assist in assigning SCSI IDs.
Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus. Note any duplications.
Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the IDs for future
reference. The following table is provided as a place to keep this record.

2.4 Setting Interrupts
Normally, you do not change the default interrupt routing for the PCI-SC896,
since performance is usually increased by having two separate interrupts.
