Correct jumper settings for SCSI HDD on an Apple LC 475
Posted by: SuperRey on 2016-12-31 04:48:40
Hello,

I have been struggling with the jumper configuration for a 50-pin SCSI HDD.

The model is IBM DSAS-3540.

Of course, id, was set to 0, and internal terminator was enabled but it was not detected.

I have 3 more settings I can change with the jumpers:

  • Disable auto spin up
  • Disable unit attention
  • Disable TI negotiation
I started disabling the TI negotiation, and now it seems to work.

The question is, should I disable the other two?

I always jumper auto spin up on such drives.

Thanks! I will disable auto spin up and test if it still works as expected.

Nope, in this case the three mentioned jumpers disable: http://keycorner.org/pub/text/doc/dsas3xxx.pdf

If it works I would not change anything.
