Setting the SCSI ID
Turn off the computer and all the devices in the SCSI chain
before changing SCSI IDs, connecting, or disconnecting SCSI
cables. Hardware damage may occur if this precaution is not
followed.
SETTING THE SCSI ID
A SCSI ID is a unique address you assign to each SCSI device connected to your computer. The
SCSI ID range of your computer is from 0 to 7, however some ID's are already occupied.
1. Turn off the computer and all connected SCSI
devices.

3. Using a pointed object, set the switches to an
unused SCSI ID.
• The Dimâge Scan Elite’s SCSI ID is factory preset to 5. If 5 is not
occupied, there is no need to change the SCSI ID.
• Two operating SCSI devices in the same SCSI chain cannot share a
SCSI ID.
2. Determine which SCSI IDs are not being used.
