Setting SCSI Device IDs
4. Set the SCSI ID on the disk drives; ID 7 is reserved for the controller.
See Figure 2-12.
☛
Note
Each drive must have a unique ID chosen from
0 through 6
or 8 through 15. Be careful not to
duplicate a drive address.
Remember: ID 7 is reserved for the controller;
therefore, it cannot be used as a disk drive ID.
ID’s from 0 through 6 are usually for Narrow,
8-bit devices. However, the full range of SCSI ID
addresses, 0 through 6 and 8 through 15 can be
used for Wide, 16-bit devices.
See your device documentation for instructions on
how to set your particular disk drive’s SCSI address.
