Connecting Multiple Scsi Devices - Akai DPS16 Operator's Manual

Chapter 1: Overview of the DPS16

Connecting multiple SCSI devices

Use a daisy chain connection to connect multiple SCSI devices as shown below:
Install a terminator on the last SCSI device in the daisy chain. (If the SCSI device has a built-in active terminator,
turn it on.) Set the SCSI IDs of all external SCSI device numbers other than 6 or 7.
CAUTION :
NOTE :
• Use a short, high-quality SCSI cable, if possible. Using a cable that is too long or of low quality may cause
an error.
• You need to format the disk before you can use an external hard disk or MO drive connected to the DPS16.
(Refer to pages 22 for more information on how to format the disk.)
• To record and play back data to the connected hard disk or MO drive, you need to specify the drive as the
current drive (currently selected drive). (Refer to page 127 for more information on how to specify the
current drive.)
