If you are installing external SCSI devices, continue with the next section; otherwise, skip to Installing the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro Software. CONNECTING EXTERNAL SCSI DEVICES STEP 1 Verify that each external SCSI device you are installing has a unique SCSI ID from 0 to 6 (0 to 6 and 8 to 15 for "Wide" SCSI devices). Refer to the device's documentation to determine the SCSI ID setting. If any two devices (external or internal) you are connecting to the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro share the same SCSI ID, change the SCSI ID on one device. The SCSI Card 2940UW Pro is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be changed. For most external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set with a switch on the back of the device. See the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro User's Reference for additional information on SCSI IDs. SCSI ID Switch 5
