The printer recognizes disks formatted for use with the Macintosh hierarchical file system (HFS) format. However, the printer will not recognize disks using other formats, and the printer’s startup page will not indicate that the hard disk is installed until after you initialize the disk. See “Initializing Hard Disks,” later in this chapter, for more information.

Connecting multiple external hard disks

Turn off the printer and all hard disks connected to it.

Attach the HDI-30 SCSI System cable to the SCSI port on the printer. Attach the other end of the cable to the SCSI port on the first hard disk. Attach a peripheral cable to the other SCSI port on the first hard disk.

Attach the other end of the peripheral cable to either SCSI port on the next hard disk. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional hard disk.

Attach a cable terminator to the unused SCSI port on the last hard disk.
