Press the top or bottom buttonof the SCSI ID selector switch to increase or decrease the SCSI ID number.Important Note: The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain must be unique. Make sure that your LaCieAIT drive’s SCSI ID number is not the same as any other device in the chain.Terminating the DriveTerminators prevent SCSI signals from being reflected off the last device in the chain, and they help to regenerate the SCSIsignal. If your drive is not the last device in the SCSI chain, there is no need to connect an external terminator.Your LaCie AIT drive requires an external terminator, which is included with your drive. This terminator should be attached tothe open connector on the back of the drive if your drive is the only SCSI device connected to your computer, or if it is the lastdevice in your chain of SCSI peripherals.
