Preparing to Install Your Storage Device
This section describes information that you need to consider and procedures
that you need to perform before installing any storage device.
Configuring your Storage Device
Table 15 lists the recommended SCSI IDs for internal storage devices. If an
existing device already uses one of the suggested IDs, select an alternate ID.
NOTICE: The floppy disk drive is not a SCSI device.
Set the jumpers and SCSI IDs according to the installation instructions that
came with your device. Narrow Single-Ended SCSI can use addresses in the
range 0 through 7, with 7 reserved for the controller. Fast, Wide Differential
and Ultra, Wide Single-Ended SCSI can use addresses in the range 0 through
15, with 7 reserved for the controller.
Determining Your Storage Devices Position
Each storage device is restricted as to where in the storage tray it may be
installed. Before installing a storage device, use Figure 23 and Table 16 to
determine which disk tray position is correct for your device.
