-
- - March Release of Microsoft Windows NT operating system
- version 3.1

-
- When starting File Manager, you may encounter multiple identical drive
- icons. This problem occurs when two SCSI devices on the same SCSI
- adapter are set to the same ID. For example:
-
- SCSI Hard Drive SCSI 0
- SCSI CD ROM SCSI 0
-
- Setting each SCSI device to a unique ID will resolve this problem.
-
- Setting the SCSI ID address is usually done through DIP switch blocks
- or jumper blocks, depending on the device. The SCSI bus must be
- terminated correctly to ensure proper operation. The first and last
- physical SCSI devices on the SCSI cable must have terminators
- installed. All other devices on the SCSI cable between the first and
- last devices must have terminators removed.
-
- SCSI Host Adapter address ID is set by default to 7. SCSI hard drive
- ID should be set to 0 or 1.
-
- Using the SUBST command at a CMD prompt can also cause the existence
- of multiple icons in File Manager. Once the system has been shut down,
- the SUBST command will no longer be in effect because it only creates
- temporary (virtual) drive letter assignments.
