This chapter includes the specific jumpering information for Challenge and Onyx peripherals. You must set the appropriate device addresses on each device in your system, before installing the peripheral in the system.
 | Caution: SGI qualifies devices and their controllers using specific hardware and software releases for each component. SGI often requests specific software or hardware changes or enhancements to permit the device to operate correctly in the hardware and software environment. The peripherals listed in this chapter should not be considered a referral list for third-party device purchases. |
Certain drives, listed in Table 2-1, have default address numbering. If you are installing two devices with the same default address, you must physically change the address of one of the devices.
 | Note: In most cases, "high-end" drives are installed on sleds. The SCSI ID is selected by push button, and jumper selection of the ID is not needed. |
Disk drives are usually numbered up from 1, and tape and CD-ROM drives are usually numbered down from 7.
Table 2-1. Default Drive Addresses
Drive Type | Default Address |
|---|---|
Digital Linear Tape (DLT) drive | 6 |
QIC-150 and 1 GB SCSI tape drive | 7 |
8-mm tape and 4-mm DAT drives | 5 |
SCSI system hard disk | 1 |
CD-ROM drive | 4 |
| Note: When resolving device addressing conflicts, number the disk drives up from 1, and the tape and CD-ROM drives down from 7. |
Newer disk drives, organized by capacity, are shown on the following pages. Information is included about the following drives in Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-12. The standard hard system disks shipped with Challenge and Onyx rackmount and deskside systems are the Quantum 2.15 and 4.3 GB differential disks.
| Note: All drives have the parity jumper set to "on." |
Drives in Challenge and Onyx systems always use delayed motor start; therefore, the DMS jumper must always be set to delay.
