logical unit letter in Windows. Instead, this drive is managed entirely the application software, which displays a list of
connected drives. As a result, when you want to backup your information, you will need to utilize the application software.
For guidance on application software that can be used with your LaCie AIT Drive and the supported operating systems,
please contact your reseller or LaCie Technical Support.
3.1.2 - SCSI Card Verification
Mac Users
To verify that your SCSI card has been installed correctly and is recognized, go to the Apple System Profiler and click on the
Devices and Volumes
tab. Your SCSI bus should be listed. If it does not appear, contact the card manufacturer.
Windows Users
To verify that your SCSI card has been installed correctly and is recognized, go to Control Panel > System > (For Windows
2000 and XP, the tab is Hardware > ) Device Manager tab. Double-click on SCSI Controllers. If an " X" or "!" symbol
appears next to the icon for the SCSI adapter card, this means that it has not been installed correctly. If it has not been
installed correctly, try reinstalling it or contact the card manufacturer. For more information on the installation and
configuration of SCSI cards, please contact the card manufacturer.
3.1.3 - Setting the SCSI ID Number
Before connecting your LaCie AIT1 drive to your computer, you need to set the unit’s SCSI ID number and, if necessary,
terminate the drive.
Each device in your SCSI chain needs a unique ID number, either from 0 to 6 for Narrow SCSI, or any number between 0-6
and 8-15 for LVD/Wide SCSI (ID 7 is generally reserved for your computer’s SCSI controller). Press the top or bottom button
of the SCSI ID selector switch to increase or decrease the SCSI ID number.
Important Note: The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain must be unique. Make sure that your LaCie
AIT drive’s SCSI ID number is not the same as any other device in the chain.
Terminating the Drive
Terminators prevent SCSI signals from being reflected off the last device in the chain, and they help to regenerate the SCSI
signal. If your drive is not the last device in the SCSI chain, there is no need to connect an external terminator.
Your LaCie AIT drive requires an external terminator, which is included with your drive. This terminator should be attached to
the open connector on the back of the drive if your drive is the only SCSI device connected to your computer, or if it is the last
device in your chain of SCSI peripherals.
