SCSI Limitations within the Transfer Station

The Transfer Station uses an Adaptec 39160 dual SCSI channel card. Channel A of the
SCSI card is used exclusively for the R-1 hard drives and optional tape unit. Connecting
R-1 drives to the channel B channel of the SCSI card corrupt the R-1 drives and may
render the data unusable. Do not attach additional SCSI devices to the A channel other
than those approved by Euphonix. Euphonix approves a maximum of eight Kingston
drive bays and a single Exabyte Mammoth single-tape unit on SCSI channel A.
7.6.1

SCSI Speed Limitations on SCSI Channel A

Due to the limitations present in connecting eight drives in a SCSI chain, the SCSI
transfer speed is limited to 20 MB/s on the A channel. Attempting to increase the speed
is not recommended.
Any SCSI device can be connected to the B channel of the SCSI card as long as you
have the proper Microsoft 2000 drivers available.
To gain access to devices connected to SCSI channel B, follow the instructions provid-
ed by that device's manufacturer.
7.6.2

Caution When Removing the SCSI Card

If the SCSI card is removed for service or to add additional PCI cards, make sure that
before you insert R-1 drives into the unit you set the SCSI card adapter in the Transfer
Station Configuration dialog:
1. Right-click on the Media Browser/Titles Browser button and select Config-
uration from the pull-down menu.
2. Under the SCSI controller setting, make sure that ADPU 160 is selected as the
SCSI controller.
3. Restart the application.
Never use a third party SCSI controller or software other than what is supplied on the
system at the time of purchase. The Transfer Station has been designed to use the ASPI
SCSI controller drivers to integrate the R-1 drives into the Windows system. Changing
the SCSI card and/or SCSI controller software may corrupt data on your drives and will
void your warranty and service warranty contract.
