To determine the SCSI ID settings on your drives:

1.

Shut down your software following the instructions in your software documentation.

2.

Put the VAXstation into console mode by pressing the halt button located behind the door on the front of the system unit.

3.

Enter the

SHOW CONFIG command.

5.

Remove the module from the drive plate by rotating it to the right and sliding it forward, away from the back of the drive plate. Set the module aside on an antistatic mat.

6.

Remove the disk drive from position 4, as described earlier in

Step 5.

If your system does not have a drive plate lever, follow these steps:
