Configuration and Jumper Options

If your system is "SCAM" (SCSI Configured Auto Magically) compliant, the system assigns the drive ID over the interface, so there is no need to be concerned about drive ID. Setting the drive ID jumpers doesn’t hurt anything, but is not necessary.
If your system is not "SCAM" compliant you do need to set the drive ID using the ID jumpers. (See Below)

Terminating the drive and power

The ST32171WC model drives have no terminators, nor do they furnish terminator power to the I/O bus. Terminators are in the Host system.

Parity check option

The default is parity check of the SCSI bus enabled. To disable this feature, install a jumper across pins 7-8 on J2.

Motor start option

Enable motor start. The drive waits for the Start Unit command from the host before starting the motor. Jumper across pins 11-12 on J2. Disable motor start (default) The drive starts according to the delay motor start option setting as described below.

Delay motor start option (Valid only if the Enable Motor Start jumper is not connected)

Enable motor start delay. Motor start delay is equal to the SCSI ID X 12 seconds. Install a jumper across pins 13-14 on J2. Disable motor start (default). Remove jumper from pins 13-14 on J2.

Write protect option

Write Protect = On (disables writing)   
        Jumper across pins 9-10 on J2.
Write Protect = Off (default) no jumper.
