3.2. Rear Panel of CRW2100SXZ (SCSI)

Before beginning the short process to install your new Yamaha CD-RW 3-in-1 drive, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rear panel of the drive as illustrated below: (The layout of your actual drive may be slightly different due to ongoing improvements.)

SCSI connectors Connect either of these to your computer’s SCSI adapter card using the SCSI cable. The other connector can be used as

apass-through when daisy-chaining more SCSI devices to it. It can be left vacant if your drive is the last device on the SCSI chain and is terminated.

LINE OUT connectors To listen to audio CDs with your drive, connect these to the line-level input (LINE IN) of your stereo equipment using a standard stereo phono cable (sold separately).

Power connector Connect the included power cable here.

CDR ID selector switch The drive’s SCSI ID number is shown in the switch’s window. Press the button above the window to decrement the SCSI ID number, or the button below the window to increment it. (P.10)

TERMINATOR switch This enables the drive’s built-in SCSI termination. Switch this to “ON” if your drive is the last device on the SCSI chain. Otherwise, switch it to “OFF.” (P.11)

Serial number

This consists of 3 letters and 7 digits. You may need to refer to this number when requesting User Support services.

3.3. Drive Setings (SCSI)

SCSI interface allows the connection of peripheral devices (both internal and external) to a computer. Each SCSI peripheral has two SCSI connectors. By looping out of one device into the next, it is possible to “daisy-chain” peripherals. The illustration below shows a properly configured SCSI chain with both internal and external devices installed.

3.3.1. SCSI ID Settings

The SCSI ID number is used so that the computer will recognize a connected SCSI device. You can assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID number. Usually, “7” is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and “0” is reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain. Use a number between 1 and 6 for your new CD-RW drive. To set a SCSI ID number, use the switch on the rear panel. The factory set ID number is “1”.

Important Note: If you are using other SCSI devices, be sure to use a unique ID number for each device. Be sure to turn off the power to the drive before you set the SCSI number.
