Optional Hard Disk Installation

The hard disk used must be a 2.5-inch IDE-compatible; however, not all such drives may be installable.
CAUTION
• When inserting hard disk unit and connecting cables, make sure that you check that they are inserted and
connected properly. Improperly inserted hard disk unit and cables may cause faulty contacts and an electri-
cal short circuit which may cause damage or result in a malfunction.
• After mounting the hard disk unit, be sure to tighten the screws as directed so it is completely stable and
does not move in any way.
• Hard disk drives of a maximum 8 GB capacity can be formatted; however, the maximum partition size is 2 GB. For
example, an 8 GB hard disk drive would have to be formatted into four separate 2 GB partitions.
• Hard disk drives of a capacity greater than 8 GB can be installed; however, the 9000Pro is capable of formatting only
up to a maximum 8 GB on the drive.
• Hard disk drives wider than 12.7 mm cannot be installed to the 9000Pro.
For information on the hard disk recommendations, ask your nearest Yamaha representative or an
authorized distributor listed at the end of this owner's manual. Install a hard disk at your own risk.
Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage or injury resulting from improper installation
or the use of a hard disk other than one of the types recommended by Yamaha.
