"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.
