Set the SCSI Address
The CD-ROM drive must have a unique SCSI target address. The CD-ROM
drive’sjumpers are set at the factory to the SCSI default address of 2, as shown in Figure
1–3. You must also ensure that the operating mode jumpers are set for correct drive
operation. We ship the drive with the operating mode jumpers set to operate correctly
with your system. We recommend that you keep the default address if possible.
CAUTION: SCSI disk drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrostatic
shock. When handling the disk drives, always wear the static-
grounding wrist strap that came in the CD-ROM drive kit. Always
handle the CD-ROM drive carefully.
Electrostatic charges can damage CD-ROM drives. To prevent such
damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during
unpacking and installation:
•
Stand on a static-free mat.
•
Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge
discharges from your body to ground.
•
Connect all equipment together, including the static-free mat, static strap,
routing nodes, and peripheral units.
•
Keep uninstalled CD-ROM drives in their protective antistatic bags.
