VR800 Quick Operation Guide

<Note on connection>

*Before making connections, make sure that both the VR800 and the SCSI drive are turned off.

*Up to two SCSI drives may be connected on a SCSI chain with the VR800.

Connect one SCSI drive as a “current drive” for real-time recording/playback. (Refer to “SCSI ID number setting” below.) Refer to the main Owner’s Manual for more information on connecting a SCSI drive as a back-up drive.

*The SCSI connector on the VR800 is a 25-pin connector compatible with Macintosh computers. Use a cable with connectors that confirm to the standards for connecting a SCSI drive.

*The last SCSI drive on the SCSI chain should be terminated. Install a SCSI terminator, or turn the termination switch to “on” if the drive has a termination switch (like a zip drive).

<SCSI ID number setting>

*Be sure to set the SCSI ID number for the SCSI drive correctly, according to the purpose of the drive (as a current drive or a back-up drive). The ID setting is very important.

Using the SCSI drive as a current drive.	Select any number from 0 to 5, but not “6.”
Using the SCSI drive as back-up drive.	Select “6.”

After you make the connection, follow the next steps to format a removable or fixed disk in a SCSI drive.
