Using the SCSI port

To install system software through the SCSI port on the RIP Station 5000, you need an
external CD-ROM drive and a SCSI II to SCSI I cable to connect the CD-ROM drive to
the SCSI connector on the RIP Station 5000 back panel. To obtain this equipment,
contact your service representative.

O INSTALL SYSTEM SOFTWARE OVER THE
1. If you have not done so already, print the Configuration page from the Functions menu
(if possible) to record the customer's Setup Configuration.
Setup settings are reset to the default configuration when system software is installed.
2. With the RIP Station 5000 powered off, connect a CD-ROM drive to the SCSI interface
connector on the back of the RIP Station 5000.
A SCSI II (50-pin) to SCSI I (50-pin) cable is required to connect a CD-ROM drive to
the RIP Station 5000. Make sure that:
• The connectors are securely connected.
• The CD-ROM drive is properly terminated.
A drive connected at the end of the SCSI bus has to be properly terminated by the
SCSI standard termination.
• The SCSI ID is set to a number other than 0 or 7 if you are using the CD-ROM drive
provided in the Electronics for Imaging, Inc. CD-ROM drive kit.
3. Power on the CD-ROM drive and push the eject button and insert the RIP Station 5000
System Software CD.
4. Make sure the CD-ROM drive is free of activity and then power on the RIP Station 5000.
5. Allow the RIP Station 5000 to perform and complete its startup diagnostics.

startup process. If this occurs, reboot the RIP Station 5000 and try again.
