(d) If you have connected other SCSI devices .to your Zip clrive, make sure
that each one has a different SCSI ID number (no duplicates), , Ifyouneed
to 'change a SCSI ID setting, turn 'the computer off an'd power down all · :
devices, change the conflictingS CSI ID; a~d power up again. ·
(e) Make sure the SCSI chain is .properly terminat~d at each end arid thiu
termination is OFF (or removed) for other devices in the chain. (Sec the
'.' SCSITermination" section for moreinformation.)
(f) If your Zip drive is .connecred to a SCSI host adapter, make sure the
