No you've added a separate SCSI bus, so Device ID management (and termination) pertains to that card only, except for truly horribly broken things like Umax'es old SCSI scanner driver, which did not even look at the bus ID, only the Device ID, so that when I installed my scanner at ID 2 on the external bus (bus1) of my old 7600, I could no longer use ID 2 on the internal (bus0) or the scanner driver would barf.
