"Reserved" means that settting/resourse is used by a device for some purpose, and that you cannot use it as one of your optional choices. Either that setting is not available to you, or if chosen would create a resourse conflict. So what they are saying is "don't put a jumper there". If I recall (someone correct me if I am wrong), SCSI 1 supports 8 devices (ID 0 thru 7). The SCSI controler itself uses an ID (usually 7). So your optional ID choices in such a case would be IDs 0 thru 6, with 7 being "reserved" because the controller is hard coded to use ID 7 and can't be made to use a different ID number. It's been awhile since I've done SCSI, so my numbers may be off, but I think you get the concept none-the-less.
