D-108 Quick Operation Guide

Formatting a SCSI disk

After you make the connection, follow the steps below to format a removable or fixed disk in a SCSI drive. To perform real-time recording and playback on the D-108, you need to format a disk.

The instructions here assume that only a removable SCSI drive is connected to the D-108 as the current drive, and an E-IDE hard disk is not installed.

Connect the power cables for the D-108 and the SCSI drive to an AC outlet.

<Note>

Be sure to connect the power cable to an AC outlet of the correct voltage as specified in the User’s Guide.

Turn on the power to the D-108 and the SCSI drive.

The ROM version and date of the D-108 appears, then the following series of messages appear, depending on the type of SCSI drive (removable or fixed).
