If I remember correctly, the SS5 uses about the same drive backplane as
the SS20.  80-pin SCA connector right?  The jumpers on the drive can be
pretty much ignored, since SCA (Single Connector Architecture) provides
SCSI data, power, and SCSI ID all through the same connector.  Ask your
PROM for what the IDs really are.  The lower driver is probably 3, and
the upper drive 0.  You could also look on the backplane, but I think
the ID jumpers were abit hard to see...
