The nice thing about SCA drives is that you just plug them in.
For external drives, the SCSI ID is normally set by a switch on
the back of the shoebox, you need to connect this in place of the
ID jumpers. LVD drives should autosense that the Sun is SE, but
you can usually force this with a jumper.
Sun machines have a standard for SCSI ID which you should obey.
1st/boot drive = 3
2nd drive = 0
3rd drive = 1
4th drive = 2
1st tape = 4
2nd tape = 5
CD = 6
