IMPORTANT

Before connecting a device to your server, be sure that the server

(and any other device already connected to it) is turned off. Read the
instructions in this section and the instructions that came with your hard disk
or other SCSI device before connecting it to your server.

SCSI devices commonly attached to the Workgroup Server 8150 include hard
disks, CD-ROM drives, scanners, printers, and tape-backup drives. The server
has two SCSI buses to which you can attach a total of nine devices. The internal
startup disk is connected to the internal SCSI bus; the built-in CD-ROM drive
and the (optional) built-in DAT drive are connected to the external SCSI bus.

Setting up a SCSI device to use with your server involves

m setting the device’s SCSI ID number
m physically connecting the device to your server
m installing any necessary device drivers (and restarting your system)

Setting the SCSI ID number

If you have a SCSI device not sold by Apple, see the instructions that came
with that device for information on setting its SCSI ID number.

If you have an Apple SCSI device, set the SCSI ID number as follows:

1

Make sure your server is shut down and the SCSI device is turned off.

WARNING

Each SCSI device connected to your server must have its

own, unique SCSI ID number. Using two or more devices with the
same ID number (on the same SCSI bus) can cause your equipment to
malfunction. For details on available SCSI numbers you can choose,
see “SCSI Bus Specifications” in the Technical Information booklet.
