AAA-130U2 Series Installation and Hardware Guide Setting Up SCSI Devices Setting up SCSI devices before attaching them to the AAA-131U2/ 133U2 typically involves setting SCSI IDs and termination, mounting internal devices inside your computer or external array enclosure, and connecting power cables to each device. Since setup can vary from device to device, always refer to the device's documentation for specific instructions. Below are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on your devices. Additional installation hints are also provided to help you install your devices. Note: If you refer to the device's documentation for installation instructions, be sure to return to this document to continue with installation of the software included in the package. Check the SCSI IDs Each device attached to a SCSI channel on the AAA-131U2/133U2, as well as the SCSI channel itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15-no duplicate IDs are permitted on a channel. ID numbers don't have to be sequential, as long as the channel and each device has a different number. s We recommend that you leave each RAID card channel set to its default setting of SCSI ID 7. s SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the channel. The priority of the remaining IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8. s If you have 8-bit SCSI devices, they must use SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. (To change the SCSI ID on your hard disk and other SCSI devices, refer to the device's documentation.) s If you wish to use a single SCSI disk drive (instead of an array) as your boot device, we recommend that you set the SCSI ID for the device to zero. Most SCSI hard disks come from the factory preset to ID 0. s The IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers; external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the device. 2-6
