The SCSI Interface Chapter 3
Determining Which SCSI ID Number to Use
If Coolscan is the only external SCSI device that will sit on the SCSI bus, there is
no need to change the SCSI ID number from the factory setting. This is assuming that
your internal hard disk is set to SCSI ID #0.
If Coolscan must share the SCSI bus with one or more other SCSI devices, it is
necessary to ensure that no two devices are using the same SCSI ID number. Create a
list of all SCSI devices (See Table 3.1) on the SCSI bus of the Macintosh you will be
installing Coolscan on, noting the device type and the SCSI ID number of each device.
You can discover the SCSI ID of some disk drives by selecting the disk drive in the
Macintosh Finder and selecting
G et I nfo
from the
FILE
menu. To determine the SCSI
ID numbet of other devices, look at the rear of each for some indication. If thete is no
indication as to the SCSI ID number, then consult with the device’s user’s manual or
contact the peripheral manufacturer to ascertain this information.
Never change the SCSI ID number of a SCSI device while its power or the
computer’s power is on.

If another SCSI device shares the same SCSI ID #5 of Coolscan, change the SCSI
ID number of Coolscan to an unused number, as indicated in the following sections.
Note any changes in Table 3.1.
If you are installing an LS-10, please proceed to the section “Setting the SCSI
ID - LS-10.”
