Warranty Information
If damage to the board has occurred, return it in the protective envelope and
original packaging with this manual to your Mylex board supplier. The
shipping agent should also be notified if the unit has been damaged during
shipment. The Mylex warranty conditions are given in the back of this
manual.
Installation Tools
The following items may be needed to assist with installing the adapter into
your system:
• Small screwdriver
• Host system hardware manuals and manuals for the peripherals being
installed.
Setting the SCSI Device ID
Each SCSI device is assigned a unique SCSI ID ranging from 0 through 7.
Most SCSI peripheral devices are shipped with a preassigned SCSI ID
number. Your FlashPoint is, by default, SCSI ID 7.
If you need to change the SCSI ID for a peripheral device, refer to the
instructions in its owner’s manual. A SCSI ID jumper or switch is usually
located on the peripheral’s back panel.
To change your adapter SCSI ID use the View/Modify Adapter Configuration
option on the AutoSCSI’s Adapter Configuration Menu (Chapter 3, “Adapter
and Device Configuration”).
☛
Note
FlashPoint LT allows the user the option of selecting
the boot drive and specifying its SCSI ID through
AutoSCSI. If the SCSI ID of the boot drive is set to
zero then BIOS looks for the boot drive by scanning
devices according to their SCSI ID, starting at SCSI
ID 0. In this case, make sure that your boot device has
the lowest SCSI ID.
