Example of SCSI chain connection

For a SCSI chain connection, if this device is used at position ???A???, set the TERMINATION switch to ???OFF???. When this device is used at position ???B???, set the TERMINATION switch to ???ON???.

If this is the only device connected to the computer, set the TERMINATION switch to ???ON???.

Connecting the SCSI Cable

Use an SCSI cable that is less than 6 m long. (For a SCSI chain connection, make sure that the total length is within 6 m.)

The SCSI cable runs between the SCSI connectors on drive???s rear panel and the computer. This device has two SCSI connectors, either of which may be used.

NOTES:

??Always be sure to return the filter cover to its original position after replacing the filter. (Note that failing to do so may result in the breakdown or malfunctioning of the drive.)

??Note that sliding by force and holding down the filter cover may break hooks.

Determining when the filter needs to be replaced

??When the filter has become noticeably dirty.

??When the internal overheating indicator begins to come on frequently in spite of the operating environment temperature remaining within the specified operating environment temperature range. (Note that here the ???overheating indicator??? is to be understood as being lit whenever READ/ WRITE orange indicator flashes repeatedly.)

*Please contact after-sales service personnel or the store where you purchased your drive to purchase new filters.

4.Pull it out as far as you need to and remove the disc. (The disc tray will open about 5 to 10 mm.)

NOTES:

??Make sure to use only the accompanying pin for emergency ejection. (No other object should be inserted.)

??Never attempt to forcibly eject a disc that is still rotating, as doing so could result in injury personal or in damage to the disc.

??Do not place items within 12 cm of the front of this device, as doing so could obstruct the disc ejection operation.

??Always be sure to remove the filter cover after forcibly removing a disc. Note that failing to do so may result in the breakdown or malfunctioning of the drive.
