SCSI
Cables
Use only
quality
SCSI
cables
when
connecting
SCSI
devices.
Cables are available
in a
number
of different lengths;
however, you should pay particular attention to the
total
length
of
the
SCSI
daisy chain.
It
is
not the length of each cable
that
is
important, but the total
length of
all
cables
used
in
the daisy chain.
The
total
length
must
not
exceed 6 meters (20
ft.).
Total length of
SCSI
cables
must
not
exceed 6

SCSIIDs
Each SCSI
device
in
the
SCSI
daisy chain
is
assigned
its
own
ID
number. SCSI-
A
II)
numbers
can be
set
from 0
to 7.
The DR4vr
itself
uses
ID
7,
and
its
internal
hard disk
ID
0.
Use ID
numbers
other than
0
and 7
for
hard
disks
connected
via
SCSI-A.
Caution:
If
you do
set
an
external
hard
disk's
ID number
to that
used by
the
inurml h rj
disk,
the
DR4vr
will
not be able
to
detect
an
error,
so no
error
message
will

ur In this
case, the
DR4vr may
appear
to
work
correctly,
but recording
