Hi Sasa,
the only one you should *need* to jumper is position 3 = Id. bit 1 = 2^1
= ID. 2.
You may want to jumper position 5, to auto-spin the drive at power-on,
since you've only 3 drives, which won't overload the PSU. If you add more
drives, you might want to jumper position 9, this delays the auto-spin,
based upon the drive's ID. This balances the power-on loading on the PSU.
I'm too lazy to look up the SCSI support of the Server 325 to know
whether you need to jumper position 6 to force Single-Ended SCSI only mode
(as opposed to Low-Voltage Differential SCSI). It's never been my experience
that this was necessary. You can leave position 8 (Target-Initiated
Synchronous Transfer Negotiation) jumpered. This is an optionally SCSI
feature/function and may or may not have any effect, but won't stop anything
from working. Position 11 should *never* be jumpered for use in an IBM
system. They always *require* SCSI Bus Parity.
