SCSI Jumpers

The option jumper block on the DASD (SCSI) backplane defines the SCSI IDs for
hot-swap drives. See the illustration in “DASD Backplane Jumper Block Location”
on page 174 for the location of the option jumper block.

Table 19 summarizes the settings for the DASD backplane SCSI option jumper
block (J4).

Table 20 shows the SCSI IDs that you can use for hot-swap drives.

Table 19. Backplane Option Jumper Block

Pins

Description

1-2 (A0)

Removing the jumper from these two pins reverses the SCSI IDs on the
backplane. For the tower model, these two pins are jumpered; for the rack
model, the jumper usually is removed.

3-4 (A1)

Reserved. No jumper.

5-6 (A2)

These pins are always jumpered.
