●[F1]-[SF2] CONFIG SCSI ID

From this display you can specify the ID number for all the devices in the SCSI chain, including the host (the MOTIF itself).

The SCSI devices connected to and in use by the MOTIF are shown at the corresponding ID numbers, set on the devices themselves.

• SELF

Determines the ID number (0 - 7) for the MOTIF, as the SCSI host. If you change this setting, you’ll need to turn the power off and on again for the new setting to take effect.

• SCAN

This control lets you mount each device in the SCSI chain, making sure that the MOTIF properly recognizes it. Move the cursor to the appropriate SCAN circle in the display, and press the [INC/YES] button to mark the circle and mount the corresponding device.

●[F1]-[SF3] CONFIG Mount

From this display you can select specific partitions for saving/loading data, within the device mounted in the SCSI ID display (above).

●[F1]-[SF4] CONFIG Format

• Type

Determines the type of the device to be formatted. ❏ Settings See below.

card

When this is set, the Memory card inserted to the Card slot is formatted.

all (SCSI)

When this is set, all the SCSI devices connected to the MOTIF are formatted.

partition 1 ~ 4 (SCSI)

When this is set, one partition (specified at the bottom of the display) of the SCSI device connected to the MOTIF is formatted.

• Format

This parameter is available when the Type is set to “all (SCSI).” A hard disk (or any similar storage media) must be physically formatted before it can be logically formatted. Physical formatting (also called “low-level” formatting) arranges the disk into physical elements such as tracks and sectors.

Physical formatting is usually done by the manufacturer; you may not need to do it yourself. Logical formatting places a file system on the disk, allowing the MOTIF to access the disk.

You’ll need to logically format any media you use before you can use it with the MOTIF.
