SCSI ID settings
The SCSI ID number is used so that the computer will recognize a con-
nected SCSI device. You can assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID number.
Usually, “7” is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and “0” is
reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain.
Use a number between 1 and 6 for the CRW4416S. Refer to the diagram
below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number. The factory
set ID number is “3”.
Important: If you are using other SCSI devices, be sure to use a unique ID number
for each device.

Manual Eject (emergency use)
Here we explain how to eject the disc when it cannot be ejected in the
normal way; for example, the power is shut off inadvertently or the
loading mechanism fails. This technique should be used only as a last
resort. Frequent use may lead to malfunction.
You’ll need a pin-like object of 2 mm or less in diameter to do this. A
straightened paper clip makes an ideal tool.
1. Insert the pin-like tool into the manual eject hole and push
gently.
The spring-loaded mechanism ejects the disc.
2. After manually ejecting a disc, you must turn off the power
supplied to the CRW4416S, then turn it on before continuing.
