SPECIAL OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Do Not Remove Drives without Closing Media
To preserve data integrity in your R-1 system, DO NOT REMOVE AUDIO DRIVES
while the R-1 has a Title loaded, and particularly not when the transport is in Play.
Removing drives while stopped, but without first closing the Title will cause the R-1
to try to access drives that are not there. If you have completely swapped out the
drives, there is the potential that the data intended for one drive could be written
to the wrong drive resulting in data corruption. The R-1 DOES have mechanisms to
try to recognize unexpected drive removals, and the R-1 will attempt to gracefully
notify you that the media has accidentally been dis-mounted or replaced. However,
it is not recommended that the media be removed in such a fashion. Doing so may
jeopardize data integrity.
The Audio Deck loads its drive information when the R-1 application is booted or
when the Media Open command is used on the Remote or when Disk or Tape Media is
selected in the Audio Browser of the Directory Panel then the Load command is
issued. Media Close and Media Unload should be used when media is be dismounted
and not reloaded. For instructions on these operations see the R-1 Operation
Manual in the section called File Management.
Please note that starting the R-1 application will always load all media and reset
the decks. Reseting a deck will also load the SCSI media, so switching to 96kHz
operation (which changes the code running on the deck) will also reload all media.
There Must Always Be A Drive in Audio Deck #1 at SCSI ID #1
Title information is always saved to drive one (SCSI ID #1) on the first Audio
Deck when any Title is saved. There must be a drive installed at SCSI ID #1 for Title
saving to work properly. This target drive may be changed if a problem occurs or if
a Title was created on a higher numbered drive on a different system. This change
of the Title drive is NOT recommended for anything but very specific operations and
should be changed back immediately. See the R-1 Operation Manual for details on
this parameter.
External SCSI Port Is Restricted
The R-1 Audio Deck supports the attachment of an Exabyte Mammoth drive on
the external SCSI connector in the upper right of the rear panel. This is the only
approved device for attachment to this connector. DO NOT ATTACH ADDITIONAL
HARD DRIVES TO THE EXTERNAL SCSI CONNECTOR.
Both Drive Bays Should Be Full
The Audio Deck should not be powered on with a drive bay empty. Each Kingston
tray should be populated with a drive or a Kingston cover-plug to ensure that the air
circulation within the Audio Deck is according to design.
