Configuring the new SCSI drive
www.gateway.com
To set the jumpers for a SCSI drive:
1
Find the jumpers for setting the SCSI drive’s termination and ID by looking
at the jumper label. The label is either a sticker on the drive, or it is printed
directly on the drive.
2
Set the SCSI drive’s ID number.
Check the SCSI ID numbers used by the other SCSI devices on the SCSI
chain (SCSI ID numbers are identified on-screen during computer start up),
then set the drive’s SCSI ID to a number that is not being used by another
SCSI device.
3
Check SCSI termination.
Example A:
SCSI Termination where a
SCSI hard drive is the last or
only SCSI device.
Example B:
SCSI Termination in a
computer with three internal
SCSI devices.
