SCSI is a data transfer protocol generally utilized in servers and older Apple PCs. It is far less ordinary than IDE or SATA protocols and is simply identified by it’s smaller than average connectors. As SCSI drives are utilized so frequently in machines with many hard drives, configuring over one to run on same channel is a matter of altering position "jumpers," or small plastic "pins" on back of drive.

Instructions

1. Step 1

Attach SCSI cable to SCSI port on every drive and attach last end of that cable into motherboard or SCSI controller.

2. Step 2

Find "jumper block" on back of drive. Search a part of drive with showing pins and several jumpers already connected.

3. Step 3

Test SCSI drive chain for any drives that already there. As no SCSI drive on similar bus, or "chain," have similar jumper ID, you should ensure that every drive has a unique ID number, from 1-15.

4. Step 4

Decide which drive is at end of SCSI drive chain. This drive will be "terminator." Slide jumper onto proper pins on jumper block. If SCSI controller has an "auto-terminate" aspect, this step will be handled mechanically by hardware.

5. Step 5

Start OS to test if drives are being identified.
