Before you connect a device
Before you connect a SCSI device to your computer, be sure to
complete these tasks:
• Make sure each SCSI device connected to your computer has
its own, unique ID number from 0 to 6. See the instructions
that came with each SCSI device for information on checking
and setting its SCSI ID number.
IMPORTANT
If you use two or more devices attached to the same SCSI interface
with the same ID number, your equipment could malfunction and
you could lose data as a result.
• Make sure you have the appropriate cable for attaching the
SCSI device to your computer.
If the device is the first or only one you are connecting, use a
SCSI cable to connect it to the computer’s SCSI port.

If the device is not the first one, use a SCSI peripheral
interface cable to connect it to the last device in the chain.
