4.4.2 Setting the MO Drive

WARNIN

Do not power off while the MO disk is being accepted.

■ Connection to a MO disk drive

・Select a SCSI cable with a connector corresponding to that of the disk drive.

・Check that both the 8826 and the MO disk drive are powered off.

・Connect firmly the SCSI connector on the rear panel of the 8826 and the

MO disk drive.

■ Powering on

・Always power on the MO disk drive before powering on the 8826.

・Always power off the MO disk drive after powering off the 8826.

■ System configuration

・A maximum of seven SCSI interfaces can be connected, but the 8826 can

only access either of one MO disk drive.

・It is not possible to operate more than one SCSI initiator (a personal

computer for example) on the same SCSI bus. In the worst case this could

lead not only to bus collisions and data loss, but also to damage to one or

other SCSI controller.

・Ensure that all devices on the SCSI bus have different address IDs.

・Fit a terminator on the last SCSI device on the daisy-chain.

■ MO disk drive

・Within the SCSI standard, some commands are left for manufacturer-

dependent use. A MO disk drive which requires such commands cannot be

used with the 8826.

・Depending on the operating environment and any impedance mismatch of

the interface cable, it is possible for timing discrepancies on the SCSI bus to

prevent the MO disk drive from operating normally.

■ MO type

Use 3.5-inch MO disks (128, 230, 540, 640 MB: rewritable and overwrite) with

this unit.
