Changing SCSI ID Setting
You can change the setting by rotating the SCSI ID selector on the back panel. Make sure to power off
the MO Drive before changing the SCSI ID setting.
• Connecting other SCSI devices with the MO Drive
You can connect several SCSI devices to one SCSI host adapter. This is called a SCSI chain. You can
connect up to five other SCSI devices (i.e., color scanner) with the MO drive in a single SCSI chain.
When connecting SCSI devices, the last device in the SCSI chain should be a device with the fastest data
transfer rate.
For any SCSI chain, the total length of all the SCSI cables should not exceed 6 meters. We strongly
recommend that each SCSI cable in the chain does not exceed one meter.
• SCSI ID
A SCSI ID is an address number (0 through 7) assigned to a SCSI device. In a SCSI chain, each device
must have an individual ID number.
The ID number of the MO drive is set to 2 at the factory. In case you have already assigned 2 to another
SCSI device, you have to change the SCSI ID of the MO drive.
• Usual assignment
SCSI ID 0 to the computer's internal boot hard disk (if it is SCSI hard disk).
SCSI ID 7 to the SCSI host adapter itself. (To confirm the SCSI ID of the adapter, please read the user's
guide of your SCSI host adapter.)
