Introduction to SCSI1 Devices
SCSI (pronounced scuzzy) devices are peripherals like hard drives, CDROMs, scanners, etc. that exchange information with the computer using
a specific set of rules.
A SCSI device communicates with the computer through a SCSI card (or a
SCSI controller on the motherboard). There can be up to seven
attached to a single card forming a SCSI chain. Depending on the type of
SCSI card the devices can be external, internal, or both.
Here is an example of a chain:
1. SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface
2. 15 devices for SCSI Wide

How to Set the SCSI ID
The SCSI Card
A SCSI card (not included) and its software must be installed and
functioning properly before installing the new drive. Consult the
documentation that came with your SCSI card or your computer for
details.
If you purchase a SCSI card (also known as a host adapter or SCSI board)
for your computer make sure it is:
PCI Bus
■
SCSI-2
■
The SCSI Devices
SCSI IDs
Each device in a SCSI chain must have a different identifying number
between 0 and 7 called the SCSI ID (SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the
SCSI card). The SCSI ID for internal devices is often set by placing or
removing small caps called jumpers over pairs of pins on the back of the
device.
Termination
The SCSI devices at either end of a chain must be terminated so the
computer knows that there are no more devices in the chain. Internal
devices are often terminated by placing a jumper on the device’s
termination pins.
If you do not have any external devices, the SCSI card itself is one end of
the chain and must be terminated. Most newer SCSI cards adjust their
termination automatically.
How to Set the SCSI ID
Why might I need to change the SCSI ID?
A SCSI card may have several devices attached to form a SCSI chain. Each
device in the chain must have a different SCSI ID. You will need to
change the SCSI ID on the HP drive if the ID set at the factory is already
in use by another device.
How to Set the SCSI ID
What SCSI ID should I use for the HP drive?
When you place Software Disc 1 in your CD-ROM and click Start
Installation, the software will check your system and recommend a
SCSI ID you can use on the HP drive.
Example:
SCSI ID 3 is available.
Alternatively, if you have already installed the software, you can get a list
of all the detected SCSI devices in your computer and the IDs they use.
Click the Start button on your taskbar, select Programs, HP CD-
Writer Plus or HP DVD Writer, Utilities, and select List SCSI
Devices. Choose an available SCSI ID for your HP drive.
Example:
The following SCSI devices were detected:
0 --------------> Hard drive
1 --------------> CD-ROM
4 --------------> Tape drive
7 --------------> SCSI card
7
You could use SCSI ID 2, 3, 5, or 6 for your HP drive.
How do I set the SCSI ID on the HP drive once I know which SCSI ID to use?
Three pairs of pins labeled ID1, ID2, and ID4 appear on back of the HP
drive. The positions of small caps (or jumpers) on the these pins
determines the device’s ID. Jumpers can be pulled off or replaced with
needle-nose pliers.

Pull off or place jumpers on the ID1, ID2, and ID4 pins on the back of the
drive so that they match the graphic for the ID you will use. If you have
an extra jumper you may store it on the set of pins labeled SPARE.
How to Set the Termination
What does termination mean?
Think of a pipe full of water. The pipe needs to have caps at both ends to
prevent the water from spilling out. The termination on a SCSI device is
analogous to the cap on the pipe. For a chain of SCSI devices to work
properly the devices at the ends of a SCSI chain need to be terminated.
Devices that are not at the ends of the chain must not be terminated.
How to Set the Termination
How do I terminate the HP drive?
To terminate the HP drive place a jumper over the pins labeled ACTIVE
TERM on back of the drive. A jumper is a small cap that connects the
pins, and can be pulled off or replaced with needle-nose pliers.
View of the back of the drive showing termination pins labeled ACTIVE TERM.
Should I leave on or remove the jumper on the ACTIVE TERM pins?
LEAVE the jumper on the ACTIVE TERM pins if:

The HP drive is the only device connected to the SCSI card

OR
The HP drive is the last of several devices in a chain connected to one
■
SCSI card
NOTE: If the new drive is the last of several devices in a chain, disable the
termination on the device that was previously at the end of the chain. See the
documentation provided with that device to see how to disable the termination.
REMOVE the jumper from the ACTIVE TERM pins if:
The HP drive is connected between two other SCSI devices
■
OR
The HP drive is connected between a SCSI device and the SCSI card

If you previously had only external SCSI devices and the HP drive is the
first internal device in the chain, you may have to remove or disable the
termination on the SCSI card. While most newer SCSI cards adjust
automatically, consult the documentation that came with your card to
find out if you must disable the termination manually.

How to Connect an Audio Cable
Should I connect an audio cable?
You do not need an audio cable to use your HP drive. The audio cable is
used only for listening to music CDs through your computer’s sound
system. When the HP drive records data, it uses the data cable, not the
audio cable.
Even if you do not have an audio cable connecting the HP drive to a
sound card, you can still hear sound through speakers or earphones
plugged into the audio connector on the front of the drive.
Can I connect more than one device to my sound card?
Check your sound card (see tips below) to see if it has more than one
connector for audio cables.
If your sound card has only one connector, you may want to unplug the
■
audio cable from your CD-ROM and connect it to your new drive.
11
If your sound card supports more than one device,
■
leave your CD-ROM connected to the sound card,
and connect your new drive with another audio
cable. If you need to purchase an audio cable from
your computer vendor, be sure to identify the type
of sound card you have and specifiy an MPC-2
connector at the drive.
How do I connect an audio cable?
Plug the MPC-2 connector on the audio cable into the Audio Out
opening on the back of the HP drive. Next, connect the other end of the
audio cable to the sound card inside your computer
Tips for connecting an audio cable to the sound card
Identify the sound card.
■
To identify the sound card look for microphone and speaker connectors
on the back of your computer. The circuit board inside the computer
attached to the microphone connectors is the sound card.
Identify the audio connectors on the sound card.
■
12
How to Connect an Audio Cable
The audio connectors have four prongs and are often on the outer edge
of the sound card. On many sound cards the connectors for the audio
cable are labeled CD IN.
Connect the audio cable.
■
The audio cable may connect horizontally or vertically to the sound card.
The connectors only fit one way. If a connector doesn’t fit, try turning it
around.
Some sound cards have more than one audio cable connector. Try using a
■
different connector on your sound card if you get no sound when you
turn your computer back on.
