from the drive. Termination is handled b an external terminator in the DE100
receiving frame. Refer to the documentation provided b the drive manufacturer
for the location of these terminators or jumpers.
4. SCSI Drive ID Select Jumpers (DE100i-SW only): Locate the SCSI ID Select
Jumper positions on the disk drive, and remove an jumper plugs in this area.
The SCSI ID cable will be installed into this section of the drive.
5. SCSI ID Cable (DE100i-SW only): (Figure 7) The DE100i-SW carrier is supplied
with one (1) 5-wire cable. This cable is used for remote ID selection b means
of the DE100i-SW Unit ID Select Switch inside the receiving frame. The cable
is designed to connect to drives with 2mm ID Select connectors.
The cables are made up of black, brown, re , orange, and yellow wires.
The black wire is plugged into the pin used to select ID0, the brown wire plugs
into the pin for ID1, the re wire plugs into the pin for ID2, and the orange wire
connects to ID3. Most drive manufacturers mark these pins with some sort of
identification which corresponds to ID0, ID1, ID2, and ID3. The yellow wire
plugs into the drive activit LED pin.
Disk drives use a row of pins to provide ground to the ID signals. This row of
pins is not used when installing the ID select cable to the carrier connector.
Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more information.
