Section 2. Installing Your PlexWriter
PlexWriter 8/2/20 Operation Manual

You
may
have to physically set the SCSI ID if you have more than one SCSI
peripheral device and:
•
Your SCSI board is not SCAM-compliant
: If you separately purchased or
already own a SCSI interface board, it may not be SCAM-compliant. In this case,
you should determine the SCSI IDs of all peripheral devices and change the
PlexWriter's ID to a unique number.
•
You don't know if your SCSI board is SCAM-compliant
: In this case, to be on
the safe side, determine the SCSI IDs of all peripheral devices and change the
PlexWriter's ID to a unique number.
•
You may have an older driver
: Since SCAM was not a requirement when Plug-
and-Play specifications were written, original Windows 95 CDs may not include
a SCAM-compliant driver for your SCSI interface board. In this case, you should
determine the SCSI IDs of all peripheral devices and change the PlexWriter’s ID
to a unique number.
Do I Have to Change My PlexWriter's Termination Setting?
The PlexWriter is shipped from the factory with its SCSI termination set ON.
You can leave the PlexWriter's SCSI termination setting to ON if:
•
Your PlexWriter drive is the only SCSI peripheral
: In this case, don't change
the SCSI termination setting. Leave it set to the original factory setting of ON.
•
Your PlexWriter drive is the last peripheral in a chain
: If you are using
multiple SCSI peripherals with your computer and the PlexWriter is positioned as
the last peripheral in a chain, don't change the PlexWriter's termination setting.
Leave it set to ON.
NOTE
: The PlexWriter uses active termination.
You should change the PlexWriter's SCSI termination setting to OFF if:
•
Your PlexWriter is in the middle of a chain
: If you have multiple SCSI
peripherals and the PlexWriter drive is not the last device in the chain, set its
SCSI termination to OFF. (In this case, remove, disable, or turn off termination
for
all
devices between the SCSI board and the last peripheral on the opposite
end of the chain. Set the termination of the last device in the chain to on.)
