Scan Bus
This option scans the SCSI bus. All device IDs are displayed on the screen including
SCSI IDs without devices attached. This allows for a better definition of location and
priority on the SCSI bus.
A device ID should only be changed if it conflicts with another device address on the same bus. Refer
to your peripheral documentation for changing SCSI IDs.
The best ID for a bootable hard disk is SCSI ID-Ø.
