unused SCSI address to the accessory. SCSI addresses range from 0 to
7 for Ultra narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI,
with SCSI address 0 used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI
address 7 reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for
narrow and wide SCSI devices).
NOTEYou do not need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI hard
disks (SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol). SCAM is
disabled if the RAIDport adapter is installed.
You should assign an unused SCSI address to the second SCSI hard
disk drive (for example, SCSI address 1).
The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard
disk drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for
information on selecting a SCSI address.
Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that
must be removed or disabled before installation in your computer.
Refer to the drive’s installation guide for more details and to see if
there is a special installation procedure to follow.
