Configuring the Hardware
The hardware configurations of the SCSI ID (Target ID) and the GPIB
primary address must match the software configuration in the system
configuration files and the NI-488.2 software.
The GPIB-SCSI-A is shipped from the factory with a 100-120 V or a
220-240 V power supply. Before you use the GPIB-SCSI-A, verify that
the voltage on the power supply matches the voltage that is supplied in
your area.
Caution
Operating the GPIB-SCSI-A at any voltage other than the one specified on the
bottom of the unit could damage the unit. Replacement fuses must be the proper type and
rating. See Appendix B,
, for fuse information.
