Installing an external Scorpion 40
The external Scorpion 40 is a compact external drive that
connects to the host computer as a turnkey subsystem.
Installing the external drive involves three simple steps:
1.
Configuring the drive
2.
Connecting the SCSI interface cable
3.
Connecting the power cord
Configuring the external Scorpion 40
The following is the default configuration for the external
Scorpion 40:
•
SCSI ID: 6
•
Media Recognition System (MRS) checking: enabled.
•
Parity checking: enabled.
•
Data compression: enabled.
•
Power-on self-test diagnostics: enabled.
•
Host operating system: Windows 95/98/NT/2000
•
Termination power: supplied to the SCSI bus.
Note: Some of these configuration settings can be changed
using the SCSI Mode Select command. SCSI
command information for these drives is provided in
the product description manual.
Setting the SCSI ID
Make sure that the drive is turned off; then set the SCSI ID
for the drive using the push-button switch on the back of the
external drive. Figure 8 on the following page shows this
switch, as well as the two SCSI interface connectors, on/off
switch, and the power-cord connector.
Note: The drive must be restarted, or a bus reset must occur
for any change in SCSI ID to take effect.
