External Scsi Connections; Internal And External Scsi Connections; Setting Scsi Ids - Asus LSI 896 Manual

2. Starting

External SCSI Connections

If only external SCSI device connections have been made, then terminate the
last external device on the SCSI bus. You must disable the termination on all
other devices. Termination on your integrated SCSI is automatically enabled
in this case.

Internal and External SCSI Connections

If internal and external SCSI devices are connected, then terminate the last
internal and external devices on the SCSI bus. You must disable the termina-
tion on all other devices. Termination on your integrated SCSI is automatically
disabled in this case.
NOTE: If an internal connection to another LSI integrated SCSI has been
made, or any connection to a device that uses the same sensing method
for automatic termination as your LSI integrated SCSI, you must over-
ride the termination for that channel through software control.

Setting SCSI IDs

You must set each SCSI device and the integrated SCSI to a separate SCSI ID, 0
through 15 for a 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 7 is the preset integrated SCSI setting,
giving it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. If you plan to boot your computer
from a hard disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have SCSI ID 0, or the
lowest SCSI ID on the bus. The peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with
jumpers or with a switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer's
instructions and to the user's manual for your computer to determine the ID of
each device and how to change it. You must have no duplication of SCSI IDs on
a SCSI bus.
NOTE: As SCAM support is OFF by default for the LSI integrated SCSI,
you may choose to turn this ON to assist in assigning SCSI IDs.
Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus. Note any duplications.
Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the IDs for future
reference.
