Master/Global 61
0. SCSI Setup
This utility allows you to change the SCSI ID number of the ESI-32 itself
(not a connected hard disk) in the event that it conflicts with a device on
the SCSI bus having the same ID number.
The SCSI interface, located as a 50-pin connector on the back panel,
allows the ESI-32 to communicate with external storage devices. The
ESI-32 can support seven SCSI devices (including its internal HD if it
has one). Each device on the SCSI bus has it’s own ID number so that it
can distinguish its data from data meant for other SCSI devices. If a SCSI
device is added to your system which has the same ID number as an
existing device, a SCSI error would occur. To remedy this situation, the
ID number on the new device will have to be changed. Consult the
operation manual of the external device for information on changing the
SCSI ID number.
The ESI-32 also contains special SCSI software that allows two “master”
devices (the ESI-32 and a Macintosh, for example) to coexist on the
SCSI bus. If you have a computer connected to the ESI-32 SCSI bus, the
“Ignore Host on ID” function should be set to the ID number of the
computer so the ESI-32 will not try to access the computer itself as one
of its disk drives.
1. Activate Master/Global module.
2. Select 7. Disk Utilities, 0. SCSI Setup (7/0).
3. Select the new SCSI ID number.
SCSI SETUP
ESI-32 SCSI ID: 5
Avoid Host on ID: 7
4. If a computer is present on the SCSI bus set “Avoid Host on ID”
to the computers SCSI ID number. If a computer is not present on
the SCSI bus, this function should be turned Off.
5. Press ENTER to exit the submodule. The ESI-32 will save your
choices to the System and return to the Module Identifier.
✱
Tip:
The ID number of a Macintosh
computer is set at 7.
