Chapter 3

The default SCSI ID number ofCoolscan, set at the factory, is ID #5.

Determining Which SCSI ID Number to Use

If Coolscan is the only SCSI device that will sit on the SCSI bus, there is no need

to change the SCSI ID number from the factory setting.

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 PC you will be installing

Coolscan on, noting the device type and the SCSI ID number of each device. To deter­

mine the SCSI ID number of the devices, look at the rear of each for some indication.

If there is no indication as to the SCSI ID number, then consult with the device’s users

manual or contact the device’s 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 between 0 and 6, as described in the fol­

lowing 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.”
