Fostex D2424 manual Formatting a Scsi disk, Backup format quantization display

Model D2424 Reference Manual (Saving and Loading Song Data)

Formatting a SCSI disk

An unformatted disk or a disk used with the computer can also be used. Check to see that the data on the disk is no longer necessary prior to formatting a disk that was previously used with the computer. Once formatting is started it cannot be stopped. The formatting process will erase all data. Be especially careful not to erase the data that you still need. The prerequisite here is that a removable disk is used.

1.Connect the SCSI device to the recorder and turn the power on to the both machines.

2.If you are using a removable disk, insert the disk into the drive.

3.Press the [SETUP] key to enter the Setup mode.

4.Turn the [JOG] dial to select “Disk Format?” (“?” flashes), and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

“IDE1” flashes appears.

The backup format quantization display:

In the initial setup, the backup format quantization that is displayed in the previous procedure will always be of the same figure as that of the current drive quantization.

This is due to the fact that save is not possible unless quantization is same for both the current drive and the backup drive.

In other words, when using a current drive formatted in 44.1 or 48kHz/24 bit, "24 bit Backup?" will always be displayed.

<CAUTION>

If format is executed while “IDE1” is blinking, the internal IDE hard disk will be formatted and data in the IDE hard disk will be lost.

5.Rotate the [JOG] dial to display the flashing “SCSI6” and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The ID number and name of the connected SCSI device appear on the display, and “?” and “SURE?” flash.

6.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The “24bit Backup ?” (“?” flashing) message appears and “SURE?” flashes.

This indicates that you are in the stand-by mode to format the backup purpose SCSI hard disk in the “24 bit Backup Format”. Quantization figure identical to the current drive will be displayed.

7.Press and hold down the [RECORD] button and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

“REMAIN” lights up and formatting starts.

As the formatting operation progresses, the size of the area to be formatted on the disk will count down on the display.

When formatting is complete, “COMPLETED!” will appears.

8.Press the [EXIT/NO] key or the [STOP] button to quit the SETUP mode.

The recorder returns to the ABS display of the Program that was selected before it entered Setup mode.

Your backup purpose SCSI disk has been formatted after completing the steps up to this point.

The SCSI disk is now ready to SAVE/LOAD.

To continuously format another disk, remove the disk from the SCSI drive and then repeat the same procedures.

Press the eject switch on the SCSI drive to remove the disk from the SCSI drive.
