12 Elite 23 Installation Guide, Rev. A General description Elite 23 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access digital- data storage devices. The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other peripheral units. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be sufficiently grounded

Elite 23 Installation Guide, Rev. A 17 SCSI ID jumpers Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID. The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses the ID that has the highest priority interrupt in the SCSI I/O system. This is always ID7. ID0 is lowest priority in an 8-bit I/O system. ID8 is lowest priority in a 16-bit I/O system. The lower priority SCSI IDs are normally used for other SCSI devices such as this Elite disc drive. Note. Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you t

Also check your system or controller user’s manual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID numbering recommendations. Drive termination If you are installing a Elite 23 drive in a system that has other SCSI devices installed, terminate only the end devices on the SCSI chain. A SCSI “device” is any disc drive, scanner, tape backup unit, or other piece of hardware co
