Before you begin
Installing an internal hard disk
You must install a hard disk in the AW2816 before using it. If you attempt to use the
AW2816 without installing a hard disk, the recorder section and mixer section will
fail to operate correctly, and the AW2816 will be damaged as well.
About the internal hard disk
On the AW2816, all data necessary for reproducing a
composition (mixer settings, recorder settings, audio
data etc.) is stored on the hard disk as a "song."
An internal hard disk is installed by attaching it to the
inside of the hard disk cover plate located on the bot-
tom panel of the AW2816. Hard disks with the follow-
ing specifications can be used.
• Type: IDE 2.5 inch (attachment location con-
forms to SFF-8201)
• Thickness: no particular limitation
• Capacity: no particular limitation (however, the
AW2816 can use a maximum capacity of 64 GB)
• Models known to work: consult your local
Yamaha distributor or refer to the website at the
following URL.
<http://www.aw2816.com/>
• By "models known to work," we mean commercially
available models that Yamaha has obtained, installed
in the AW2816, and successfully tested by means of
various operational tests. However, we cannot take
into account slight differences in performance that
may occur due to the manufacturing tolerances of
each manufacturer.
• Hard disks are precision devices. Strong physical
shock, magnetism, static electricity, or excessive cur-
rent etc. can damage the data on a hard disk. You
must use media such as an external SCSI device or
CD-RW to backup your important musical data.
• Please be aware that Yamaha Corporation will
accept no responsibility for any damages, neither
direct nor indirect, resulting from the use of any of
the above hard disks.
Installation
Please read and observe the cautions on installing
optional equipment listed at the beginning of this
manual.

The following steps describe the procedure by which
the 2.5 inch IDE hard disk is attached to the hard disk
cover plate located on the bottom of the AW2816 for
installation.
• Hard disks are precision devices. Do not subject
them to physical shock or static electricity, etc.
• Do not place a hard disk nearby devices that pro-
duce a strong magnetic field, or in locations of
extreme cold, heat, or moisture.
• Before you handle a hard disk, touch your hand to a
grounded metallic object to release any static
charge that may be present in your body or clothing.
If you fail to do so, static electricity may damage the
hard disk.
• Never attempt to disassemble a hard disk or apply
excessive force to it.
• In order to install the internal hard disk, you will
need to turn the AW2816 upside down. Please make
sure that your work surface is spacious enough.
• The AW2816 is shipped with four screws for attach-
ing a 2.5 inch hard disk, and four screws for attach-
ing a CD-RW drive, making a total of eight included
screws of the same type.

Make sure that the power of the AW2816
is turned off. For safety's sake, disconnect
the power cable from the AC outlet.
Always switch off the power for the main unit and all
peripherals, unplug the power cord for the main unit
from the outlet, then disconnect the cables connect-
ing the main unit with the peripherals before starting
installation work.
