Installation
The following sections describe how to connect
a DigiDrive to your Digidesign system.
Before You Begin
Before you begin to install a DigiDrive:
■ Check the contents of the DigiDrive kit
against the packing label on the outside of the
shipping box to confirm that you have received
all the parts.
■ Check for available SCSI IDs on the Digide-
sign SCSI bus.
DigiDrive Components
The DigiDrive package contains:
• DigiDrive
• 30-inch 68-pin to 68-pin SCSI LVD cable
• Avid multi-mode 68-pin terminator
• Utilities CD ROM
• Power cable
• Drive-stacking brackets
• Registration card
Installing Software
The Utilities CD-ROM that comes with DigiD-
rive contains utilities that will performance-
tune your DigiDrive and perform diagnostic
tests when necessary. To install the software,
drag and drop the DigiDrive Utilities folder to
your system drive. For your convenience, we
suggest you drag it to your Digidesign software
folder.
Installing a DigiDrive
When you add a new DigiDrive to your Digide-
sign system, the DigiDrive is connected to one
of the SCSI buses in the system. In some cases,
you might need to disconnect some or all of the
drives on a SCSI bus when you add a new drive.
Use the instructions in the following sections to
install the DigiDrive.
Refer to the DigiDrive Utilities Read Me doc-
ument on the DigiDrive Utilities CD-ROM
for complete instructions on the use of your
DigiDrive Utilities.
