Terminating the Host Adapter
Host adapter termination is controlled by the
SCSISelect utility, if only one computer is connected
to the host adapter. Termination for both Channels A
and B is Enabled by default. You must disable host
adapter termination for SCSI Channel A if you attach
SCSI devices to both the internal and external SCSI
connectors of Channel A.
If you need to change host adapter termination, com-
plete the physical installation, then run SCSISelect as
described in Configuring the Host Adapter on page 6.
Termination in Multiple Computer Configurations
If you are setting up your SCSI bus with more than
one computer attached, you can enable your host
adapter to provide termination power even when
one computer is powered
off. To do this, place a
jumper shunt on jumper J6 if the second computer is
connected to SCSI Channel A or on jumper J5 if the
second computer is connected to SCSI Channel B.
This feature works only when one computer is
turned off, and the other computer connected to the
same SCSI bus accesses the disk drives and other
SCSI devices on the bus.
Setting SCSI IDs
You must assign a different SCSI ID to each device on
the SCSI bus connected to the AHA-3940/3940W
host adapter. See your SCSI device documentation to
learn how to determine the ID and change it.
■ ID 7 is the default SCSI ID for the host adapter on
both SCSI Channels A and B. You can change the
ID(s) in SCSISelect, if necessary. See Configuring
the Host Adapter on page 6.
■ SCSI devices connected to an AHA-3940 can have
IDs ranging from 0 to 7. SCSI devices connected
to an AHA-3940W can have IDs ranging from 0 to
15. (The host adapter itself uses one SCSI ID on
each channel.)
■ SCSI ID 0 should be used for the boot SCSI hard
disk; ID 1 should be used for a second SCSI hard
disk, if there is one.
