This chapter includes the specific jumpering information for desktop 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 3-1, 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. Disk drives are usually numbered up from 1, and tape and CD-ROM drives are usually numbered down from 7.
Table 3-1. Default Drive Addresses
Drive Type | Default Address |
|---|---|
Digital Linear Tape (DLT) drive | 6 |
QIC-150 and 1GB 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. |
Desktop disk drives are shown on the following pages. Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-12 contain information about the drives listed below.
| Note: All drives have parity enabled. |
Drives in desktop systems always use a motor start software command; therefore, the enable motor start jumper is always installed in internal devices.
Jumper and other configuration information is provided for the following drives used in desktop systems:
Seagate ST3610N Inch-High 540 MB SCSI Disk

Figure 3-13 through Figure 3-20 contain information about the following removable media drives for desktop systems:
Archive 4-mm external DAT drive
Insite internally mounted 20-MB floptical disk drive
Tandberg 1 GB QIC external tape drive
Toshiba 5301 5.25-inch Internal CD-ROM (Indigo2 only)
Toshiba 5301 5.25-inch External CD-ROM
Conner CTD8000H-R DDS-2 4-mm DAT Internal Drive
