Sounds like you are missing the connection between the enclosure ID
setting and the drive ID jumper block.  There will be a separate
header on the drive of at least 6 pins that has the 3 ID jumpers for a
50 pin drive.  For something like the Sun 411 enclosure I expect there
to be a 6 wire cable coming from the external ID selection that plugs
into that jumper block.
