COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
❏
SCSI ID 0 is reserved for the primary hard drive (bootable drive).
❏
SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the controller.
❏
SCSI IDs 1-6 and 8-15 are available. 8-15 should not be used with
narrow devices.
■
Every SCSI chain must be terminated (closed) at both ends.
■
SCSI devices may not have terminating jumpers on the device.
Determine if the device ought to have termination enabled or disabled.
Set the termination if necessary. Termination on these devices must be
achieved with a terminated cable.
■
Bay 4 is reserved for the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive. Do not
install a SCSI device in this bay.
■
If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed on the lowest
numbered bay (bay 1).
■
Turn on an external SCSI device before turning on power to the
workstation. This enables the system board controller to recognize the
external SCSI device.
■
When an external SCSI device is connected to the external SCSI
connector on the rear panel of the workstation, that device becomes the
end of the SCSI chain and must be terminated.
■
SCSI drives on channel 2 of the SCSI controller must be either internal
or in an external storage system, but not both.
