Drives Installed - 24

 

installed in the lower part of the computer in drive bay 1, 

near the front of the computer. If it came with two drives, the 

second one is installed in drive bay 2. If a third drive is 

installed, it’s in drive bay 3. The factory sets the drive in 

bay 1 to start up. The startup drive can be changed in the 

control panel. 

Additional internal Ultra2 LVD SCSI devices connect to the 

data cable supporting the drive that came with the computer. 

This cable has a built-in terminator so you don’t need to add 

one. 

You must assign a SCSI ID number to every additional device 

and the number must not conflict with the ID number already 

assigned to a drive on the SCSI chain. If the computer came 

with one Ultra2 LVD SCSI drive, it has ID 0. If the Macintosh 

came with two drives, they have ID 0 and 1. A third factory-

installed drive has ID 2. The SCSI PCI card has ID 7.
