IMPORTANT: LOCKING PIN INFORMATION

TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND ALL THE SCSI DEVICES BEFORE CHANGING SCSI IDS, CONNECTING SCSI CABLES, OR DISCONNECTING SCSI CABLES.

SETTING THE SCSI ID

The Dimâge Scan Multi’s SCSI ID is factory preset to 5. If 5 is not being used by another operating SCSI device in the SCSI chain, it is not necessary to change the SCSI ID.

A SCSI ID is a unique address you assign to each SCSI device connected to your computer.The SCSI ID range of your computer is from 0 to 7, however some IDs are already occupied by your computer.

* IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive. ** Macintosh systems with a dual bus have SCSI ID 3 available on the external bus.

Press the upper button to select a smaller SCSI number.

TO CHANGE THE SCSI ID:

1.Turn off the computer and all connected SCSI devices.

2.Determine which SCSI IDs are not being used.

3.Change the SCSI ID using the upper or lower SCSI buttons.

The current SCSI ID number.

Press the lower button to select a higher SCSI number.

Occupied SCSI ID

IBM PC/AT: 7 (SCSI host adapter)

0 (internal hard drive)* 3 (internal CD-ROM drive)** 7 (system)

Macintosh:

TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND ALL THE SCSI DEVICES BEFORE CHANGING SCSI IDS, CONNECTING SCSI CABLES, OR DISCONNECTING SCSI CABLES.
