Installation
This section gives a step-by-step guide to setting up your CRW8824SX drive.
First Steps
Before connecting your CRW8824SX drive to your computer, you need to set up
the drive using the switches located at the rear of the unit. You’ll need to set the
following:
● SCSI ID number
● Termination
1 SCSI ID number
Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer is identified by its SCSI ID
number. You need to assign a number from “0” to “7” for each SCSI device.
Commonly, ID number “7” is reserved for the computer’s SCSI adapter card itself.
Therefore, your CRW8824SX drive can actually be assigned an ID number from
“0” to “6.” Press the top or bottom button of the SCSI ID selector switch to
decrement or increment the SCSI ID number, as shown below.

n The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain must be unique. Make sure the
CRW8824SX drive’s SCSI ID number is not the same as that of any other device on the
chain. By factory default, the CRW8824SX is assigned ID number “1” but this can be
changed.
n If the SCSI card supports SCAM and SCAM is turned “ON,” a different ID number may
be assigned if the SCSI ID number on the rear panel coincides with another SCSI device.
