User Manual Unpacking / Packing (1) General precautions Note the following precautions in order to maintain the performance and reliability of the drive. ! Open the package with particular care. ! Do not expose the unit to excessively dusty environment. ! The unit contains components that can be destroyed by static electricity. Follow the guidelines below for internal unit: ! Use an anti-static mat and ground yourself when handling the internal unit.
User Manual (4) Packing Pack the unit after you have removed the disk. Put the device in the anti-static or plastic bag. It is desirable to use the original shock-absorbing material and packing box used when the unit was delivered to you. If not, use a box with a shock-absorbing structure that will prevent direct impacts to the device. In the case of the internal unit, protect the surfaces and interface connector against possible damage and use an anti-static bag.

User Manual Owners Record The model and serial number of the drive you have just purchased are located on the underside of the unit(1). Please record them below, and refer to them should you need to call your supplier for service or technical support. (1) (External) or the top of the drive (Internal). (1) (Extern) oder der obere Teil des Laufwerks (Intern). MOD910 Serial No. Keep this manual for reference purposes should any switch setting need to be altered.
User Manual General Description The MOD910 is a high performance, high capacity optical disk drive that offers recording on rewritable and CCW WORM media that is ISO compliant. The MOD910 reads and writes to 9.1GB, 8.6GB 5.2GB, 4.8GB, 4.1GB, 2.6GB and 2.3GB, rewritable, WORM and DOW disks and offers read compatibility to earlier ISO standard 1.3GB, 1.2GB, 650MB and 600MB media so protecting any existing investment in storage.
User Manual SCSI Connections The external drive is equipped with two Micro D 50 way connectors on the rear panel. These are for the SCSI in and SCSI out (if there are additional devices connected). A SCSI interface cable needs to be terminated at each end of the line, one terminator being on the last device in the chain and the other terminator is usually on the host computer or adapter card, a Micro D SCSI Terminator is supplied (external drive only).
User Manual Fig 2 Internal Drive Connection 1. DC Power Connector 2. Jumper block for SCSI ID settings 3. 50 way SCSI cable - note pin 1 orientation If internal devices are also to be connected to the SCSI card, then the SCSI adapter on-board termination must be disabled. Refer to the documentation that accompanies the SCSI adapter.
User Manual SCSI Identifier Each device on a SCSI bus requires a unique address to be set which maybe in the range of 0 to 6 as address 7 is usually reserved for the host computer address. The MOD910 is shipped with a default address of 1 which will usually suffice in most cases. Please refer to diagram on Appendix C General Precautions for MOD910E 6 ✗ Never plug or un-plug any connectors or cables from the device on the SCSI bus whilst power is applied to either host computer or any devices attached.
User Manual Additional Notes for Internal Models ✗ Never connect / disconnect unit to / from SCSI bus with power on any units including host computer. ✓ When handling the unit, an anti-static wrist strap should be used to avoid possible damage from static electricity. ✓ Ensure that the power connector is correctly wired. ✓ Check that the power is within the unit’s specification. ✓ Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.
User Manual Externes Laufwerk Noch nicht einschalten! Man stellt die SCSI ID des Geräts am hinterem DIP Schalter ein. (siehe Anhang B und C). Verbinden Sie den Rechner und das Laufwerk mit dem SCSI Kabel. Falls das Laufwerk das letzte Gerät in der SCSI Kette ist, installiert man den mitgelieferten Begrenzer (Terminator) in den leeren SCSI Sockel. Schalten Sie das Gerät ein. Man schiebt eine Disk in das Laufwerk bis das Gerat sie von selber animmt.
User Manual Notes: If you need to use the emergency eject pinhole, make sure that the unit is powered off and that the disk has stopped its rotation (20-30 seconds after power off). If the SCSI ID is changed with the unit powered ON, then power must be removed and reapplied for the new ID to take effect. Before moving the drive, always ensure that the optical disk cartridge is removed. The drive has various functions that may be altered from their defaults if required.
User Manual Prechecks before Service Call 1. ? ? ? Disk cannot be inserted. Is power on? Is the disk orientated correctly? Is the disk the correct type? 2. ? ? ? ? ? ? Access Failure Is the cartridge inserted? Is the SCSI ID set correctly? Are the SCSI bus terminated correctly? Is the cartridge set to write protect? Are other devices on the SCSI bus operating normally? Is the software device driver installed correctly? Placing a service call Contact your supplier or service company.
User Manual Service on the unit There is no prescribed service for the unit. However, to ensure optimum performance, the unit should operate in as clean an environment as possible where contaminants do not enter the unit. Should the unit require cleaning, do NOT attempt to open the drive, but contact your supplier. Microsoft Operating Systems and Optical support Microsoft have confirmed that their NT operating system versions 3.51 and 4.
User Manual Disk Cartridge Notes 1. Never open the shutter to look at the disk. The shutter is provided for protection against dust, dirt and other contaminants. 2. Avoid subjecting the cartridge to sudden shock or impact. 3. When the write protect window is open, the disk is in a read only mode of operating.
