Each SCSI device that is connected to your computer must be assigned its own
SCSI ID number from 0 to 7 so that the computer can identify it correctly.
Depending upon the computer, there are some SCSI ID Nos.which are pre-allocated, and cannot be given to any other device. Please refer to the table below.
1
Some Macintosh models have IDE hard disk drives.On these models, ID No. 0 is
not pre-allocated.
2
Some Macintosh models have both an internal and external SCSI bus.On these
models ID No.3 of the external SCSI bus is not pre-allocated.
The Dimâge RD 3000 has been preset to SCSI ID No.4 at the factory. If SCSI
ID No.4 is available for use on your computer, you need not change any settings
before installing and using it.
If SCSI ID No.4 is already in use on your computer, it will be necessary to allocate an unused ID No.to the Dimâge RD 3000.

For PC/AT compatible computers
Check the user manual of your SCSI host adapter to determine whether or not
the SCSI host adapter you are using is one that supplies power to the terminator.If it is, you do not need to perform the terminator power supply setup.
Users of SCSI host adapters that do not supply power to the terminator need to
perform the terminator power supply setup in order to supply the terminator with
power from the Dimâge RD 3000.
For Macintosh computers
Users of desktop and mini-tower Power Macintosh or Power Macintosh G3
model computers do not need to perform the terminator power supply setup.
Users of PowerBook and PowerBook G3 computers with Power PC CPUs need
to perform the terminator power supply setup in order to supply the terminator
with power from the Dimâge RD 3000.
The Dimâge RD 3000 is equipped with only one SCSI connector, which means
that it can only be used as the final device on a SCSI chain. Since the final
device on a SCSI chain requires a device called a terminator, the Dimâge RD
3000 comes with a built-in terminator.
The terminator requires a power source.
