2.2.6 Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI
ID. The IDs are 0 through 7 for an 8-bit bus and 0 through 15 for a 16-bit
bus. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest
priority on the SCSI bus. If you plan to boot your computer from a hard
disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have SCSI ID 0, or the
lowest SCSI ID on the bus. The PCI Storage Device Management
System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide explains how to set your host adapter
ID using the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
The peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a
switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s
instructions and to the user’s manual for your computer to determine the
ID of each device and how to change it. No duplication of SCSI IDs is
allowed on a SCSI bus.
Step 1.
Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus. Note
any duplications.
Step 2.
Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the
IDs for future reference. Correct any duplications at this time.
