2. Connecting to an existing SCSI chain.
If you are connecting your ORB SCSI Drive to an existing SCSI chain, refer to
Section 1.10, Connecting ORB Drive to a SCSI chain, before proceeding further.
Otherwise, go to the next step.
3. Power OFF your computer and all the attached devices.
Warning! Always turn OFF power to protect yourself from
injury and your equipment from damage.
4. Assign a SCSI ID to your ORB Drive.
A SCSI ID is an integer, ranging from 0 to 7, each identifies a SCSI device on the
same SCSI chain. ID 7 is usually reserved for the SCSI host bus adapter.
You can find your ORB Drive’s ID switch either on the bottom of the drive (as
shown in Figure 4a) or on the side of the drive (as shown in Figure 4b). The avail-
able IDs for the ORB Drive are 0, 4, 5, and 6.
If your ORB Drive has a rotary switch as shown in Figure 4a, you will need a #0
Phillips screw driver to change the ID setting.

CAUTION! If you are connecting your ORB SCSI Drive to any
SCSI device other than the SCSI host bus adapter, refer to
Section 1.10, Connecting ORB Drive to a SCSI chain, before
proceeding further.
5. Connect one end of the supplied
cable to the ORB Drive’s SCSI IN
connector (left connector when
facing the rear of the drive).
6. Find the SCSI connector on the rear of your computer.
A SCSI connector is labeled or with the acronym SCSI. Check to see if the SCSI
connector on your computer has a HD50 connector as shown below. If not, you need
to purchase an appropriate SCSI cable or adapter from a computer dealer.
