DWZZH 16–Bit UltraSCSI Hub removed from the group and at the next arbitration phase, the remaining highest ID will be serviced. This will continue until all of the IDs in the group have been serviced once. All requests from IDs not contained in the register will be “backed off ” using ID 7. CAUTION Most manufacturers ship host bus adapters with a default SCSI ID of 7. Ensure that the ID is changed BEFORE you establish a connection between the adapter and the Hub. After all the IDs in the group
