Hi guys,
Everytime I see another discussion, I think, oh good,
I'll get the info I need re. HD ID's.
But even after 4 articles through Google today I still don't
know how to set the SCSI ID on this Quantum 4.5 GB
that I'm working up the nerve to install.
I say "nerve" only because it seems almost a given that I'll
have trouble of some sort.
Here's where I'm hangin"
My 2 GB HD is of ID 'O' � my CD ROM is '3'
1. If two identical HD ID's means trouble, and this 4.5 GB
has no visible external setting (like external devices)
why would I install, boot up, THEN go looking for its ID?
2. How does one change the ID of a device that doesn't have external
number settings or do some devices have fixed numbers?
Is it done via the HD setup?
3. Can I unplug my only and active 2 GB HD, move it to the bay
below it (I know about the sleds) and install the 'thicker'
4.5 in its place without any special termination or ID moves
or other assorted troubles? There don't seem to be terminators
on the Quantum 4.5 GB HD.
On the end of the 4.5 HD that's opposite the SCSI plug,
there is a small, white plastic, 12-pin plug recepticle???
4. Is the cuda button only used for the installation of PCI Cards
especially CPU upgrades?
Thanks,
Terry
