Selecting the SCSI ID Number and Fan Speed
The SCSI ID is an address number (0 through 7 for 8-bit interface and 0 through 15 for 16-bit
interface) that is assigned to each SCSI device. In a SCSI daisy-chain, each device in the chain
must have a unique SCSI ID number. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the host controller. If
the computer system is already equipped with internal or external SCSI storage devices, some
ID numbers will already be reserved. For instance, if the computer system came with an internal
SCSI hard drive, it may be designated as SCSI device 0. Refer to the computer system
documentation for additional information.
The Data Stacker SCSI ID selection switch(es) is located on the front panel of the chassis
enclosure, concealed behind a sliding door (Figure 10). The rotating switch can be adjusted
with the provided adjustment tool.
Carefully select the appropriate SCSI ID number(s) for the installed device(s). 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(s). If the computer system can not
recognize the boot disk, the computer system may fail to properly start-up.
NOTE: A small dip switch located below the rotating SCSI ID selection switch is provided
for fan speed adjustment. The fan may be set for high or low speed (Figure 12).
