Note:
Back up the contents of the Splash Server hard disk to safeguard against the
loss of information (image files and other data) stored on the Server hard disk. Fre-
quent back ups serve to minimize the risk of data loss.
Disk Upgrades
If you commonly encounter the error message that the disk is full on the Splash
Server, or if you want to install other Macintosh applications on the Splash Server
CPU, you should connect an external Macintosh SCSI hard disk drive. Replacing
the factory-supplied internal hard disk drive in the Splash Server CPU is not
recommended.
When choosing the size of an external hard disk drive, consider the network
printing demands of the Splash Server. For example, if the network has 10 users
who commonly print Adobe Photoshop files that are 30MB in size, the result is
300MB of storage space that is in constant use for print spooling. In this case, a
500MB hard disk drive is the minimum size required for a disk upgrade.
When connecting an external hard disk drive,
■ Be sure to use an external SCSI hard disk drive that is Macintosh-compatible.
■ Make sure that the external hard disk drive is correctly terminated for use with
a Power Macintosh.
■ Make sure that the SCSI address of the external hard disk drive does not
conflict with any other SCSI address for peripherals connected to the Splash
Server. The internal hard disk drive is set to SCSI ID 0 (zero). You may use any
unoccupied SCSI ID number (1, 2, 4, 5, or 6).
■ Always shut down (power off) the Splash Server before you connect a
peripheral to the SCSI port.
The Macintosh User’s Guide, supplied with your Power Macintosh, contains
detailed instructions for connecting and using an external hard disk drive.
