Saving/Loading Data Using A 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Disk As The Current Drive - Fostex FD-4 Supplement Owner's Manual

FD-4 Ownerís Manual Supplement
Saving/loading data using a 2.5-inch E-IDE internal hard disk as the current drive
This section explains how to save and load data between a SCSI backup drive and an optional 2.5-inch internal hard
disk. Recording mode on the current drive does not affect this operation. Refer to the before mentioned ìSaving/
Loading data using a SCSI drive as the current driveî for more information on the procedures.
<Note on the save/load operation using an optional 2.5-inch E-IDE internal hard disk>
When you are using an optional 2.5-inch E-IDE hard disk for the save and load operation, make sure that [IDE]
lights up in the current drive section of the display. If a SCSI drive is connected to the FD-4 as the current drive,
disconnect the drive. Alternatively, turn off the power to the SCSI drive before you turn on the power to the FD-4.
Connect a SCSI backup drive (ID # = 6) to the SCSI connector on the FD-4 with a 2.5-inch E-IDE hard disk retrofitted.
< Note on connections>
Be sure to connect a SCSI backup drive to the FD-4 SCSI connector.
Make sure that the ID number for the SCSI backup drive is set to ì6î.

(ID # = 6)
Note: As shown in the drawing, when the SCSI drive assigned for the current drive is daisy chained to the SCSI drive
for backup and also connected to the optional 2.5-inch E-IDE internal hard disk which is in the current drive
mode, please note the following items.
When the 2.5-inch hard disk is assigned as the current drive:
Switch on power to the FD-4 only and not to the two SCSI drives connected.
If save/load of song data is to be executed using the SCSI drive assigned for backup, switch on power to the SCSI
drive assigned for backup and then the FD-4. Do not switch on power to the SCSI drive assigned for the current drive.
By utilizing either method, the FD-4 will always recognize the internal 2.5-inch E-IDE hard disk as the current drive.
When the SCSI drive is assigned as the current drive:
Power to any equipment that is interconnected must, of course, be switched on. The SCSI drive will be automatically
recognized as the current drive.
