Understanding SCSI connections
Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in what
is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in
a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices
is connected to another SCSI device.
SCSI Cables
You may need to purchase SCSI cables before setting up your SCSI
daisy chain. Be sure the SCSI cable connectors are suitable for your
hardware, depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI
interface board.
SCSI ID and terminator
Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually set to
number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different
number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device
in the chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator.
No other device can have a terminator, or if a terminator does
exist, it must be turned off or removed.
2-8
Setting up the Scanner
Setting the SCSI ID number
The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2.
The SCSI ID rotary switch
is located at the rear of
the scanner.
If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI
devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number to an
unused number using the rotary switch. See the table below as a
guide.

Caution:
Do not set the SCSI ID to an ID number that is already assigned
to another device; otherwise the computer, scanner, and other
devices will not operate properly.
Setting up the Scanner
2-9
Setting the terminator switch
The scanner has a built-in terminator, which allows SCSI devices
to communicate properly with each other. You may need to
change the terminator switch setting according to your computer
system.
Note:
Do not use an external terminator.
The terminator switch is located
at the rear of the scanner.
