Settings for recording
This section explains how to make the necessary settings for hard disk record- ing. Be sure to make these settings before performing hard disk recording.
Hard disk connections and settings
Up to 7 hard disks can be connected using SCSI cables. Use hard disks with a maximum capacity of 4 Gbytes and an average seek time of 11.5 ms or less. The TRINITY uses a
1Turn the power OFF for the TRINITY and the hard disk(s).
The power of the TRINITY and any hard disk(s) must be OFF before con- necting or disconnecting SCSI cables or changing the ID number of a hard disk.
2On the hard disk, set an ID number in the range of 0–6.
If you are connecting two or more hard disks, set them to different ID numbers so that they can be distinguished.
For details on setting the ID number, refer to the manual for your hard disk.
Setting two or more hard disks to the same ID will cause malfunctions or loss of data.
3Connect the SCSI connector of the TRINITY to the SCSI connector of the hard disk.
If you are connecting two or more hard disks, make sure that the total length of the cables is less than 6 meters (18 feet).
4Terminate the hard disk.
If two or more hard disks are connected, terminate the last hard disk in the chain (the hard disk furthest from the TRINITY).
Even if only one hard disk is connected, that hard disk must be terminated. Some hard disks require an externally attached terminator. Others have a swit- chable terminator
