Setting the SCSI ID
Turn off the computer and all the devices in the SCSI chain
before changing SCSI IDs, connecting, or disconnecting SCSI
cables. Hardware damage may occur if this precaution is not
followed.
SETTING THE SCSI ID
A SCSI ID is a unique address you assign to each SCSI device connected to your computer.
The SCSI ID range of your computer is from 0 to 7, however some ID's are already occupied.
1. Turn off the computer and all connected SCSI
devices.

3. Using a pointed object, set the switches to an
unused SCSI ID.
• The Dimâge Scan Speed’s SCSI ID is factory preset to 5. If 5 is not
occupied, there is no need to change the SCSI ID.
• Two operating SCSI devices in the same SCSI chain cannot share a
SCSI ID.
2. Determine which SCSI IDs are not being used.

Macintosh
Occupied SCSI ID
7 - SCSI host adapter
0 - internal hard drive*
3 - internal CD ROM drive**
7 - operating system
* IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive.
** SCSI ID 3 is available on the external bus on Macintosh systems with a dual bus.
