Selecting the SCSI ID Number

The SCSI ID selection switch is located on the rear panel of the chassis (Figure 2). Carefully
select the appropriate SCSI ID number for the installed device as shown. Switch can be
adjusted with either the tip of a pen or a straightened paper clip. Note that some switch settings
may be invalid for your interface type. Selecting an invalid ID number, or selecting the same
number on different devices may cause unpredictable results and the computer system may
not recognize the installed device.

SCSI ID Selection Switch Settings

Use Pointed Tool Here

to Set SCSI ID

0 = ID0 8 = ID8
1 = ID1 9 = ID9
2 = ID2 A = ID10
3 = ID3 B = ID11
4 = ID4 C = ID12
5 = ID5 D = ID13
6 = ID6 E = ID14
7 = ID7 F = ID15

Some SCSI unit ID numbers on the selection switch may be
invalid for your interface type. Valid 16-bit ID numbers include
0-15 (Do not use ID7. It is usually reserved for the host).
