Installing the external autoloader

The external Scorpion 240 is a compact external drive that connects to the host computer as a turnkey subsystem. Installing the external drive involves three simple steps:

1.Configuring the drive

2.Connecting the SCSI interface cable

3.Connecting the power cord

Configuring the external Scorpion 240

The following is the default configuration for the external Scorpion 240:

∙SCSI ID: 6

∙Media Recognition System (MRS) checking: enabled.

∙Parity checking: enabled.

∙Data compression: enabled.

∙Power-on self-test diagnostics: enabled.

∙Host operating system: Windows 95/98/NT/2000

∙Termination power: supplied to the SCSI bus.

Setting the SCSI ID

Make sure that the drive is turned off; then set the SCSI ID for the drive using the push-button switch on the back of the external drive. Figure 6 on the following page shows this switch, as well as the two SCSI interface connectors, on/off switch, and the power-cord connector.

Note: The drive must be restarted for any change in SCSI ID to take effect.
