For each half of the D1000, disks ID are numbered 0-5 with switch down and
8-13 with switch up.

To connect every disk on a single SCSI channel you should set switch 1 to
"up" and switch 2 to "down" (or reverse), so that SCSI ID will be 0-5 for
the first disks set, and 8-13 for the second set.

Option Switchs are :

1 - Right-most disks ID (down=0-5;up=8-13)
2 - Left-most disks ID (down=0-5;up=8-13)
3 - Drives remote start
4 - Drives Delayed Start
5 - Reserved

Switch 1 is on the right-most switch.

	Objet:	[SunHELP] E3500 - D1000 connection problems

	I'm having problems trying to connect a D1000 to an E3500.

	I've only got one Wide SCSI Differential card in the E3500 and want
to see
	all 12 X 32Gb disks in the D1000, ie the D1000 is only connected to
this one
	particular host..

	(The SCSI card was attached to a StorEdge L280 tape drive so it is
working.)

	I have tried to connect the two together exactly as described in the
PDF
	manual available on the SunSolve website. The E3500 is connected to
the left
	hand side SCSI port of the D1000, then the next two ports on the
D1000 are
	connected together via a small SCSI cable. Finally a terminator is
placed in
	the remaining port on the right hand side. However, this gives me
numerous
	errors like this:

	May 15 14:34:00 remus unix: Parity Error
	May 15 14:34:00 remus unix: WARNING: /sbus at 13,0/QLGC,isp at 0,10000
(isp0):^M^M
	May 15 14:34:00 remus unix: Target 0 disabled wide SCSI mode

	Now, on the back of the D1000 there is a switch to set the SCSI id
and
	Configuration Options (1-5). I've no idea what I should set the
	Configuration Option to and suspect this may be the problem. When I
took
	delivery of the box, switch 4 was up. (We've got a D1000 on an E4500
and
	switches 4 and 1 are up, but this box has two SCSI cards and so the
D1000 is
	effectively split in two.)

	Any ideas for me to try? Any kind of help appreciated!

	Cheers,

	Howard.
