Setting up scsi drive.

[shefron]

I need help setting up a scsi drive for ID number. I'm just slightly confused.

Drive:
Seagate Cheetah
ST318404LC
18.4
80 pin Ultra 160
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/scsi/st318404lc.html

The drive has jumpers on the front to setup drive ID but also the 80pin to 68 pin adapter as a spot for it. Which one do I set?

From what I can understand on the adapter has jumpers on it

LED
SYN
DLY
MTR
ID3
ID2
ID1
ID0


Now this is going to run on a Adaptec 39160 card, going to be the boot drive and the only one in there so I'm guessing I need to set it to zero according to the adaptec book.

Any suggestions on how to set it and on what thing.

My suggestion is leave the front jumpers on id 0 and set the 68-80 pin adapter id to 0 also. You can always use trial and error if my suggestion doesn't work, you can't hurt the drive.

You probably want to set the ID via the adapter you're using. 80 pin drives are meant to be used on backplanes with hot swap bays, most of which have their own ID jumpers. That way, if a drive fails, you can just swap it out on the fly and the new drive is immediately set to the same ID as the old one and takes over without any reconfiguration.
