Determining which ID to use
If the scanner is the only SCSI device that will be connected to
the SCSI bus, there is no need to change the SCSI ID from the
preset value.
If the scanner must share the SCSI bus with one or more other
peripherals, it is necessary to insure that no two peripherals
have the same ID. Create a list of SCSI peripherals on the
desired bus, noting the device type and the SCSI ID of that
device. To determine the SCSI ID of the other peripherals,
check the rear of each peripheral for some indication of the
SCSI ID of that device. If there is no indication of the ID
number, consult the peripheral’s user’s manual or call the
peripheral manufacturer to determine the SCSI ID setting.
Remarks
• To change the ID, confirm that the computer power is off.
The ID cannot be changed when the power is on.
• As 0 and 7 have been generally assigned to the computer
system, any number from 1 to 6 is recommended for the ID
number.
• If conflicting ID numbers are assigned, the system might not
function, or important data on the hard disk might be
destroyed. It is therefore essential to check the ID numbers
carefully before connecting the COOLSCAN II.
If another SCSI peripheral shares the same SCSI ID as the
COOLSCAN II, change the SCSI ID of the COOLSCAN II to
an unused SCSI ID as indicated in the following sections.
