[. . . ] If the system into which you are installing this drive requires SCAM compliant drives, you do not need to be concerned about the drive ID jumper settings, as the system automatically assigns your new drive the ID it wants it to have. The system may or may not use the existing drive ID jumper settings. Setting the drive ID doesn't hurt anything, but is not necessary in a SCAM compliant system. Most Cheetah disc drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at 0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the appropriate drive section for your model. If, after completing the installation process, the drive's LED does not show on/off activity when the host is trying to communicate with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is the case, change the ID so that each device on the SCSI chain has its own unique ID. Also check your system or controller user's manual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID numbering recommendations. 22 Cheetah 18 Installation Guide, Rev. A Drive termination If you are installing a Cheetah drive in a system that has other SCSI devices installed, terminate only the end devices on the SCSI chain. A SCSI "device" is any disc drive, scanner, tape backup unit, or other piece of hardware connected to your system using the SCSI bus. Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) single-ended terminators when terminating a bus operating in singleended mode. Use SPI-2-compliant active low voltage differential terminators when terminating a SCSI Ultra2 bus operating in LVD mode. The top example in Figure 2 shows an internal hard disc at one end of the SCSI bus with the SCSI controller at the other end (both are terminated). The bottom example shows two additional SCSI devices connected externally--this means the SCSI controller is no longer on the end of the SCSI chain and should not be terminated. Some controllers prefer to remain terminated even if they are in the middle of the chain. Also, some controllers treat the internal and external chains as separate logical buses. This means you may need to terminate both the first and last devices on both logical buses to achieve proper termination. If necessary, refer to your system or controller documentation to see how this is handled in your particular system. These drives do not have on-board terminators, so you must terminate external to the drive when termination is required. For ST118202LC drives, this is normally accomplished by terminat- Cheetah 18 Installation Guide, Rev. A 23 ing the bus at the backpanel. For ST118202LW drives, use an inline terminator on the cable.

[. . . ] A 45 LC drives Setting the SCSI ID jumpers section LC drives The SCSI ID for ST118202LC drives is normally set over the SCSI bus by the host system. You can also use the J6 jumper block to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 16). Drive Front Jumper Plug (enlarged to show detail) Pin 1 J6 SCSI ID = 0 SCSI ID = 1 SCSI ID = 2 SCSI ID = 3 SCSI ID = 4 SCSI ID = 5 SCSI ID = 6 SCSI ID = 7 SCSI ID = 8 SCSI ID = 9 SCSI ID = 10 SCSI ID = 11 SCSI ID = 12 SCSI ID = 13 SCSI ID = 14 SCSI ID = 15 (default) Note: [1] Do not remove cover from pins 13 through 20 (darkened area).
