The following picture indicates the location of jumpers W1-W4. There are 4 jumpers on the personality card (W1, W2, W3, and W4) for hard setting the ID of each slot.
ID Conflict When two devices share the same SCSI ID, a conflict occurs. This conflict must be corrected before the SCSI bus will work properly . If a conflict occurs, check all jumper settings to ensure that no devices on the bus share the same ID. Also check all other devices on the bus outside of the enclosure.
The SCSI In ports are used to connect to a host and require an external cable with a 68-pin High-Density male connector to mate at the enclosure side. Cables are not included. Each SCSI channel must use a separate external cable connection from the rackmount to the host adapter or RAID controller .
JMR carries its own line of high-quality external StorBlade TM compatible SCSI cables. The following T able lists JMR part numbers and descriptions. Please contact a JMR representative for current availability and pricing.
