SETTING THE SCSI ID

The SCSI ID can be set to one of eight device Identification (ID) numbers (0 through 7); however, each device connected to the same SCSI bus must have a different SCSI ID.

Perform the following procedure to set the LF 6600's SCSI ID number:

1)Enter the Configuration mode by pressing both the LOAD/MENU and TEST/SELECT switches simultaneously.

2)Press the MENU switch until "Set Config" is displayed.

3)Press the SELECT switch to enter the Set Configuration menu.

4)Press the MENU switch until "SCSI ID" is displayed.

5)Press the SELECT switch to scroll through the options for the SCSI ID value (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7). When the desired value is displayed for the SCSI ID, press MENU to enter the SCSI ID value and move to the next option in the Set Configuration menu.

6)Simultaneously press the LOAD/MENU and TEST/SELECT switches to exit the Configuration mode. Simultaneously press the LOAD/MENU and TEST/SELECT Switches again to move up to the Main menu.

NOTE

After resetting the device ID, turn the drive off, wait 1 sec and then turn the drive on again. This ensures that the new device ID will be acknowledged by the SCSI bus.

SETTING THE BUS PARITY CHECKING

SCSI bus parity generation is always enabled; however, SCSI bus parity checking at the drive can be disabled.

Perform the following procedure to turn parity checking on or off.

1)Enter the Configuration mode by pressing both the LOAD/MENU and TEST/SELECT switches simultaneously.

2)Press the MENU switch until "Set Config" is displayed.

3)Press the SELECT switch to enter the Set Configuration menu.

4)Press the MENU switch until "Parity:" is displayed.

5)Press the SELECT switch to scroll through the states for parity checking (on, off) When the desired state is displayed, press MENU to enter the state and move to the next option in the Set Configuration menu.

6)Simultaneously press the LOAD/MENU and TEST/SELECT switches to exit the Configuration mode. Simultaneously press the LOAD/MENU and TEST/SELECT Switches again to move up to the Main menu.

LF 6602 specifications

The Plasmon LF 6602 is a state-of-the-art storage solution that is designed to meet the demands of high-capacity data management and retention. This innovative device serves as an optical archive system that combines reliability, longevity, and advanced technology to ensure the preservation of critical data over extended periods.

One of the key features of the LF 6602 is its impressive storage capacity. The system is capable of holding up to 60 terabytes of data, making it ideal for organizations with large datasets, such as healthcare providers, financial institutions, and media companies. This vast storage capacity not only allows for the archiving of traditional data but also supports the growing needs for multimedia and big data applications.

The Plasmon LF 6602 utilizes advanced optical disc technology, specifically the write-once, read-many (WORM) format. This ensures that once data is written to the optical disc, it cannot be altered or deleted, which provides a high level of data integrity and security. This feature is particularly beneficial for compliance regulations and legal requirements, as organizations can be assured that their archived data remains unmodified.

In terms of performance, the LF 6602 stands out with its fast retrieval times and efficient data access. The integrated software provides a user-friendly interface that enables quick searches and metadata management, allowing users to easily locate and access files as needed. The system supports multiple disc formats and can accommodate various data types, enhancing its versatility for different applications.

Durability is another hallmark of the Plasmon LF 6602. The optical discs are resistant to environmental factors such as temperature variations and humidity, which significantly reduces the risk of data loss due to physical degradation. The long lifespan of the media, often exceeding 50 years, ensures that data remains accessible for future generations.

Moreover, the LF 6602 is designed with scalability in mind. As data requirements grow, organizations can expand their storage systems seamlessly, integrating additional units without disrupting ongoing operations. This flexibility allows businesses to adapt to changing needs without incurring significant costs.

In summary, the Plasmon LF 6602 is a cutting-edge optical archive system characterized by its substantial storage capacity, data integrity through WORM technology, fast performance, high durability, and scalability. Its collective features make it an ideal choice for organizations looking to secure and manage their critical data efficiently and effectively.
