(These are often jumper settings to control termination, but some models don't have jumpers but still auto-sense the need for termination, and still others provide no internal termination). These things come to bite you when you move drives after a couple years of use, and forget. All of my drives have the same jumper pin layout.
Left to right, Term Pwr / Reserved / SCSIID3 / SCSIID2 / SCSIID1 / SCSIID0
Obviously the 4 right-most ones are the ID number so I have IDs 0, 1, 2 and 3 for my for drives
It's been 15 years since I managed a server, but try changing the ID's to 6,5,4 and 3. I have a vague recollection of higher ID numbers having a higher priority on the SCSI bus. Is this why the controller has number 8? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
