A4 - B4

Disable SCSI

When the pair of pins is open, the drive

 

Parity

 

performs SCSI parity checking (default).

 

 

 

Shorting the pins with a jumper forces the

 

 

 

drive NOT to perform the SCSI parity checking.

 

 

A5 - B5

Disable Write

When the pair of pins is open, the drive

 

 

Cache

performs write back caching (default).

 

 

 

Shorting the pins with a jumper forces the

 

 

 

drive NOT to perform the write back caching.

 

 

A6 - B6

Disable Auto

When the pair of pins is open, the drive

 

 

Spin-up

performs an automatic spin-up upon media

 

 

 

loading (default). Shorting the pins with a jumper forces

 

 

 

the drive NOT to perform the automatic spin-up.

 

4

A7 - B7

Force Verify

Shorting the pair of pins forces the drive to

 

 

for Write

perform a Write and Verify operation

 

 

 

whenever the host issues a WRITE command

 

 

 

(default). Opening the pins by removing the

 

 

 

jumper will force the drive not to Verify after

 

 

 

Write (unless specified under software

 

 

A8 - B8

Disable Manual

Shorting the pins disables the eject button

 

 

Eject

operation. (Default Open).

A9 - B9

Enable Fast SCSI

Shorting the pins enables Fast SCSI mode.

 

 

 

 

Default Closed

 

6

A10 - B10

Device Type

When the pins are open the drive responds as

 

 

 

an Optical Memory Device (type 7) (Default).

 

 

 

Shorting the pins forces the drive to respond

 

 

 

as a Direct Access Device (type 0)

 

 

A11 - B11

Enable

Shorting the pins invokes the internal SCSI

 

 

Termination

active terminator. With the pins open

 

 

 

(default) Termination is disabled.

 

 

A12 - B12

Terminator

These pins supply +5V DC through an isolation

 

 

Power

diode for SCSI terminator power to the SCSI

 

 

 

bus TERMPWR line. Shorting the pins enables

 

 

 

SCSI TERMPWR signal (default). Leaving them

 

 

 

open disables.
