[. . . ] The lower priority SCSI IDs are normally used for other SCSI devices such as this Elite disc drive. Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you to skip a SCSI ID. For example, you can have ID0, ID1, and ID3 (skipping ID2). Other controllers do not allow this so be sure to refer to your system or controller user's manual for details about its requirements for proper SCSI device installation. This drive is a SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Magically) compliant drive. 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 Elite 23 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 18 Elite 23 Installation Guide, Rev. A 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. Drive termination If you are installing a Elite 23 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. 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. Elite 23 Installation Guide, Rev.
