4-12 Preparing for Use with Mac
Setting the SCSI ID on the DCS 465
Camera Back
In this section you will set the SCSI identification (ID) number for the DCS
465 Camera Back. Each SCSI device connected to the same computer
must have a different ID number. Your Macintosh computer is number 7,
and the internal hard disk on your computer is probably number 0. If your
computer has a CD-ROM drive, be certain to avoid its number also; it
may be number 3 if it is an internal drive supplied by Apple Computer,
Inc. Therefore avoid setting the camera system to numbers 0, 3, and 7
since the DCS 465 Camera Back must have a unique SCSI ID. Addition-
ally, the camera back presents “PC” and “PP” as possible SCSI modes.
These are not intended for use when connected to a Macintosh computer;
do not make either of these SCSI choices.
IMPORTANT: This section assumes that the camera back and the computer are
not currently connected. You should never change the SCSI ID on the DCS 465
Camera Back when it is connected to a computer.
1. Shut down your Macintosh computer.
2. If SCSI devices other than the DCS 465 Camera Back are connected to
your Macintosh computer, for example a CD-ROM drive or hard disk,
determine their SCSI identification numbers so that you can select a
different number for the DCS 465 Camera Back. If necessary, refer to
the instructions for those devices to determine how to find their
numbers.
NOTE: Since you may connect the camera back to different computers, or
since you may change the external devices connected to a Macintosh
computer you regularly use with the camera back, you should ensure that the
DCS 465 Camera Back has a unique SCSI ID each time you connect it to a
Macintosh computer.
