How to Set the SCSI ID

7

What SCSI ID should I use for the HP drive?

When you place Software Disc 1 in your CD-ROM and click Start
Installation
, the software will check your system and recommend a
SCSI ID you can use on the HP drive.

Example:

SCSI ID 3 is available.

Alternatively, if you have already installed the software, you can get a list
of all the detected SCSI devices in your computer and the IDs they use.
Click the Start button on your taskbar, select Programs, HP CD-
Writer Plus
or HP DVD Writer, Utilities, and select List SCSI
Devices
. Choose an available SCSI ID for your HP drive.

Example:

The following SCSI devices were detected:

0 --------------> Hard drive
1 --------------> CD-ROM
4 --------------> Tape drive
7 --------------> SCSI card

You could use SCSI ID 2, 3, 5, or 6 for your HP drive.

How do I set the SCSI ID on the HP drive once I know which
SCSI ID to use?

Three pairs of pins labeled ID1, ID2, and ID4 appear on back of the HP
drive. The positions of small caps (or jumpers) on the these pins
determines the device’s ID. Jumpers can be pulled off or replaced with
needle-nose pliers.
