Change SCSI Jumper

[papawealey]

I installed a Fujitsu MAP3367 U320 36gig drive on my Dell workstation. The boot drive is a Fujitsu MAJ3182 U160, SCSI ID 0.

At boot the SCSI bios recognizes the new drive with its default SCSI ID of 15. However Windows 2000 Pro doesn't recognize the drive at all.
The Fujitsu website says the SCSI ID needs to be between 0 and 7 (with 0 set for the boot drive and 7 for the scsi adapter). So I'm guessing I need to change the ID to something unused between 1 and 6 (I think 1,2, & 4 are available). Problem is I can't figure out how to change the SCSI ID. Thought it was with the SCSI Disc utility, but couldn't figure out how to change the ID with that.

I think termination is ok, I didn't change it. The scsi cable has two ports and a terminator at the end, and I just added the drive to the second port. Previously it just had the one drive and an empty port and the terminator, worked fine.

Anyone know how to change the ID to a 1, 2, or 4?

Thanks

It shoudl be set to ID 0. If you look on the Fujitsu site they should have a diagram on the proper jumper settings for the drive.

The boot drive is set to 0, I can't set this slave drive to zero too, right?

I got the jumper map from Fujitsu and set it to 4. Windows still doesn't see it and hasn't assigned it a drive letter.

How do I get it recognized by W2k and a drive letter?

You very probably don't have a SCSI ID problem. (Besides, there is no such thing as a "slave" drive on SCSI - all the units operate completely independant of each other.)

Is the drive seen in Device Manager? If not, make sure you got the bus termination correct.

Then, drives don't have letters. File systems do.

So once the physical drive is seen by the SCSI low level driver, you need to use the storage volume manager thing from the Administrative Tools. Partition the drive, put file systems on the partition(s) (i.e. "format" the partitions), and there you go.

It'll either be the first set of pins on the left, or the first set of pins on the right.
