SETTING THE SCSI ID
The Dimâge Scan Multi II’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.
|
Occupied SCSI ID |

(SCSI host adapter) |
|
|
|
Macintosh: |
0 |
(internal hard drive)* |
|
3 |
(internal CD-ROM drive)** |
7(system)
*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.
TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND ALL THE SCSI DEVICES
BEFORE CHANGING SCSI IDS, CONNECTING SCSI
CABLES, OR DISCONNECTING SCSI CABLES.
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.
Press the upper button to select a smaller SCSI number.
The current SCSI ID number.
