How to install an external hard disk drive

Example: Installing a 9GB hard disk drive to ID1.

When the power of the unit is turned on , the unit will automatically detect peripheral recording devices

connected to its SCSI terminal Glossary . The system must be initialized each time hard disks are added, connections are made or ID numbers are altered, etc. When additional hard disk drives are added to this unit, all data stored on all (internal and external HDD ONLY) will be erased. The reason is that this unit looks at all drives as one. Before adding external drives to this unit, if the information stored on the ex- isting drives is needed, please Backup the informa- tion first before adding external drives. Data is not erased (lost) when an external HDD or other periph- eral is removed from the chain.

With the digital units Power OFF, turn the Terminator switch on the back of the digital unit to OFF. Set the external drive to ID1, terminate at the external drive, connect the SCSI connector from the external drive to the SCSI connector of the digital unit and turn power “ON” on the external drive. Next Turn “ON” the power of the digital unit. When this unit comes-up, it will automatically detect all external connected devices and the DEVICE CHECK screen will be displayed. Notice that the external drive is recognized on ID1.

1.Press the POWER button.

If the change is recognized, the screen below will appear.

2.Make sure that the connected device is recognized correctly.

If the connected device is not displayed correctly, make sure that the cursor is set to POWER OFF and turn the SHUTTLE ring twice to the right. The power of this unit will be turned off. Make sure that the connection of the external device and the setting of the SCSI ID number is correct.

4.Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.

Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right to EXECUTE.

The unit will initialize its system when data is erased from its built-in hard disk and hard disks connected to

ID0 through ID3. Data is not erased from hard disks connected to ID4 and ID5.

If the screen below appears after performing Step 1, it is possible that there is either a poor connection,

overlapping SCSI ID numbers, or an error in SCSI ID number settings. In this case, turn the SHUTTLE ring twice in the clockwise direction. Main power to the unit will turn off; please then check the connection and SCSI ID settings of the external devices.

How to remove an external hard disk drive and copying device

Ensure all devices including this unit are turned OFF. Dis- connect the the cable of the external drive and or copy device from the back of this unit SCSI terminal. Enable (turn to ON) the termination switch on the back of this unit.

1.Press the POWER button.

The screen below will appear. It will not appear when you remove the DDS or RDD which is connected to ID4 or ID 5.

2.Make sure that the connected device is recognized correctly.

3.Turn the JOG dial to select “CONFIG.”, and turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right twice.

When CONFIG. is selected, the unit will save the data recorded on the connected peripheral recording

device (which has not been removed) as well as the data recorded on the built-in HDD. Data recorded on a removed peripheral recording device is not affected.

4. The unit will start setting up.

Confirming the connected device

1.Press the INFO button.

The <INFORMATION> menu will appear.

2.Turn the JOG dial to select CONNECTED SCSI DEVICE.

Connected device for ID4 and ID5 will display “NONE” when no archive or copying devices are con-

nected to the unit.
