SCSI ID Codes for attached Devices
PCM-3430
Symbios the vendor of the SCSI single chip encourages saving all
current data. In case of failure this will insure that precious
information will still be stored elsewhere.
This manual assumes the user is familiar with basic O/S, DOS,
IBM compatibility and proposed standards for SCSI and PCI.
Prior to installing the SCSI driver we recommend connecting your
system to the SCSI controller. Keep in mind you must also assign a
ID code for each device used in your system.
PCM- 3430 allows up to 15 devices to be connected to your
controller. With so many items running simultaneously SCSI must
assign a ID code for each device. If however the system you are
using is set in the automatic mode (SCAM) you will not have to do
so. There are 16 ID numbers ranging from 0 to 15. ID number 7 is
allocated to the SCSI card. The hard drive must be given the
lowest ID number. Your other peripheral devices are either set with
jumpers or a switch. Refer to the manufacturer's manual to assign a
ID number for each device. If you are able to use the boot
specification (BBS) then the hard drive will not require the lowest
ID number.
