Greetings -

I'm helping another admin who has a 2100 and unfortunately no manuals. I
think I just need a quick confirmation/verification from someone:

It has a single SW shelf, extended from the removable-media-scsi-bus, and
only ONE controller instead of two. By process of elimation, it seems as
if the shelf ID's are as follows for dual controller config:

        0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3

Where each controller has four drives (0-3) at it's disposal? So, for our
situation, a single controller config, does the shelf auto-assign ID's as:

        0 (4) 1 (5) 2 6 3 (7)

Where the single controller treats the drives as 0-7 except interleaved?
Furthermore, in a single controller config, this implies that you can only
use 5 drives total (since 4,5,7 are reserved)?


thanks and cheers,
