Basic rules:

Each unit on the SCSI bus has its own address, with the controller on the A3000, there are 8 valid addresses (0-7).    The controller takes one of the addresses, the remaining 7 are available for drives, I have in the past ran 7 devices off of the A3000.   The A3000 actually lets you set the SCSI address of the controller to any of the valid addresses, usually however, the controller is set to 0 or 7.  

Termination:
Terminate the last internal unit on the SCSI cable, terminate the last external unit on the SCSI chain, do not terminate any of the other units.  

Parity:
Parity off is how I usually run everything, usually you put reselection on for a removable as I remember, though its been awhile since I've hooked SCSI removables up to my system.
