1.10 CONNECTING ORB DRIVE TO A SCSI CHAIN
If you have devices other than your ORB SCSI Drive on the same SCSI chain, you
need to go through this section carefully.
1. Power OFF your computer and all the attached devices.
Warning! Always turn OFF power to protect yourself from
injury and your equipment from damage.
2. Identify SCSI IDs of all devices on the same SCSI bus your ORB
SCSI Drive will be connected to.
A SCSI ID is an integer, ranging from 0 to 7, each identifies a SCSI device on the same
SCSI chain. The following table shows the common factory default SCSI ID assignment.
