CONFIGURATION INFORMATION

Configuration and Jumper Options

SCSI ID Selection Jumpers at ID0, ID1, and ID2 select the SCSI address. Each SCSI device on one Host Adapter must have a unique address. ID selection is binary, as shown here.

 
	SCSI ID		ID2	ID1	ID0

	0 out	out	out
	1		out	out	in
	2		out	in	out
	3		out	in	in
	4		in	out	out
	5		in	out	in
	6		in	in	out
	7 		in	in	in

Interface Termination RN6 provides termination for the SCSI interface lines. Default is RN11 and RN12 installed. SCSI terminators are installed only in the end devices on the SCSI cable; remove them from each of the other devices.
Terminator Power Jumpers W1 and W2 select the source of terminator power (+5V) for the interface terminator. If a jumper is installed at W1 and no jumper is installed at W2 (the factory default configuration), the drive provides terminator power. This configuration is used for PC/AT applications. If no jumper is installed at W1 but a jumper is installed at W2, terminator power must be supplied by the host computer system via interface connector J1, pin 26. W12 allows the drive to supply interface termination power to the SCSI bus. If W12 is not installed and W1 is installed (the factory default configuration), the drive does not supply SCSI bus interface termination power. W12 should not be installed for PC/AT applications.
Spindle Control A jumper at J2 pins 7-8 controls the spindle option.

   No Jumper    The drive starts the spindle motor at power-on. (Default)
   Jumper       The drive waits for a Start Unit SCSI command to
                       start the motor.

Bus Parity Check A jumper at J2 pins 13-14 selects the bus parity check option. The drive always generates parity regardless of this option.

    Jumper	SCSI interface parity checking disabled.
    No Jumper	SCSI interface parity checking on. (Default)

Write Protect Option A jumper at J2 pins 11-12 selects the write protect option.

    Jumper	The drive is write protected.
    No Jumper	The drive is not write protected. (Default)

Frame Ground Option A jumper at W11 is used to connect the drive's logic ground to its frame ground. The factory default configuration, which should be used for PC/AT applications, is a jumper installed at W11.

    Jumper	Frame ground connected to logic ground.
    No Jumper	Frame ground not connected to logic ground. (Default)
