D1624 / D824 3. SOFTWARE UPDATE Since the 8Mbit flash ROM is mounted on the MAIN PCB assy, the D1624/D824 software can be updated through the SCSI port. Please refer to the following explanation for correct software updating procedures. 3-1. Required Tools The following tools/equipment are required to update the D1624/D824 software.
D1624 / D824 9. Select “SCSI-6” and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key. : Blinking SETUP 44.1kHz 10. The D1624/D824 recognizes the software file in the connected SCSI drive/diskette and is automatically put into the software update mode. 11. Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key to start updating the software. 12.
Page 13
D1624 / D824 In order to check the version number, press the [EXECUTE/YES] key while “?” is blinking. 44.1kHz The example on the above indicates that the Flash ROM version is V1.05 and its programming date is April 3, 2000. 4-3.

D1624 / D824 In order to check the offset value, select the “MTC” time base and the “REMAINING TIME” display. The display below is an example of offset display. This mode is identical to the one when the normal SETUP menu “Offset Disp?” is selected.
Page 21
This mode is mainly designed for our manufacturer. When this menu is selected, pressing the [EXECUTE/YES] key would output the current time information in the shape of FEX (Fostex System Exclusive message) from MIDI OUT port. The internal RTC on the D1624/D824 which receives the information can be set to the current time.
D1624 / D824 5. ERROR CODE LIST The chart below indicates the error code number and corresponding description. Since the error code list is basically designed for our engineers to improve the software, the description is quite technical. If you find the D1624/D824 with one of the error codes displayed, we encourage you to update the software first.

MODEL 8345 will be the one to retrofit first. However, flat cables for MODEL 5042 / 5043 (MODEL 5043: 2 x 17-pin flat cables, MODEL 5042: 1 x 17-pin and 1 x 8-pin flat cables) must be plugged into the connector J103 and J104 on the MAIN PCB assy before the MODEL 8345 is fixed at the rear panel.
Page 26
D1624 / D824 6-4. Installing MODEL 5042 1) Before fixing the MODEL 5042 to the D824 rear panel, plug in the 8-pin and 17-pin flat cables to the D824 MAIN PCB assy connector J104 and J103 respectively. 2) Remove 4 x hex screws originally attached to the MODEL 5042 D-SUB connectors.
Page 27
D1624 / D824 6-5. Installing MODEL 5043 1) Before fixing the MODEL 5043 to the D1624 rear panel, plug in the 2 x 17-pin flat cables to the D1624 MAIN PCB assy connector J104 and J103 respectively. 2) Remove 6 x hex screws originally attached to the MODEL 5043 D-SUB connectors. 3) Fix the MODEL 5043 to the D1624 rear panel by the following screws.
Page 28
D1624 / D824 6-6. Installing 1 x MODEL 8350 1) Before fixing the MODEL 8350 to the D1624/D824 rear panel, loosen 4 x screws fixing the HD bay to the HD bracket and move the HD bay to the front side, so that the flat cables can be plugged into the connector J13 on the D1624/D824 PCB assy.
Page 29
D1624 / D824 6-7. Installing 2 x MODEL 8350s CAUTION: The MODEL 5043 and MODEL 8350 cannot be installed into the D1624 together. You need to select either the MODEL 5043 or 2 x MODEL 8350. 1) Before fixing the MODEL 8350s to the D1624 rear panel, loosen 4 x screws fixing the HD bay to the HD bracket and move the HD bay to the front side, so that the flat cables can be plugged into the connector J13 on the D1624 PCB assy.
