- Hi, I hope that the following information from my 3070 manual helps:

- There are 10 DIP switches.
-
- SW#1 sets ID# between 0 (off) and 1 (on)
- SW#2 sets ID# between 0 (off) and 2 (on)
- SW#3 sets ID# between 0 (off) and 4 (on)
- SW#4 sets Parity Enable
- SW#5 to 10 are listed as 'Factory Use Only'.
-
- Note: "switch pushed down means ON; switch pushed up means OFF"
-
- Since the 3070 was originally intended to ship with the A3000UX (Unix
- version of the A3000), the drives were factory shipped with ID#4 which is
- the usual default ID# for Unix systems. That would mean that of the three
- "ID setting dip switches SW#1 to SW#3, switches 1 and 2 would have been off,
- and switch three on.
-
- If my answer left something out, don't hesitate to email me.
-
- Hope this helped some,
