D-108 Quick Operation Guide

The D-108 has a SCSI terminal to connect an external SCSI drive, which enables you to use an MO, Zip, or fixed drive as a current disk drive.

For more information on SCSI drives supported by the D-108, refer to the “List of drives with guaranteed operation” in the User’s Guide.

The following instructions assume that you already have an external SCSI drive and disk.

MO drive & MO disk

SCSI cable

zip drive & zip cartridge

SCSI terminator

* You can also use a fixed SCSI disk.

Installing a detachable controller to the D-108

Connecting a SCSI drive to the D-108

Connect the external SCSI drive to the SCSI connector (D-sub, 25-pin) on the rear panel of the D-108. Read the following notes on handling SCSI drives and disks, and the “Notes on connections” and “SCSI ID number setting” sections thoroughly.

•SCSI drives and disks are made of precision parts. Follow the instruction below when you handle or store them.

*Do not drop them or apply strong impact to them.

*Do not expose them to strong vibrations.

*Do not expose them to substantial changes in temperature or humidity.

*Do not locate them in dusty places.

*Do not expose them to dripping water.

*Do not place them near devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

•Malfunction or misuse of the unit may cause the data recorded on SCSI disks to be erased. We recommend that you save important recordings to a DAT, adat, or SCSI disk. Fostex is not responsible for any damages due to erased data or any consequential damages caused by use of the D-108.
