n SCSI ID settings
The SCSI ID number is used so that the Computer will recognize a con-
nected SCSI device. You tan assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID number.
Usually, “7” is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and “0” is
reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain.
Use a number between 1 and 6 for the CRW44 16s. Refer to the diagram
below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number. The factory
set ID number is “3”.
Important: If you are using other SCSI devices, be Sure to use a unique ID number
for each device.
