Connection of External SCSI Devices
This section describes the types of SCSI devices that can be connected to
the MRS-1044 (with SIB-01 installed), and gives information about the
connection procedure.

• "Confirmed" refers to the fact that normal operation was confirmed
with a production unit purchased by ZOOM Corporation. An

assurance that all functions will operate is not given.

whether direct or indirect or from any third parties.
Connection of SCSI Devices
To connect the MRS-1044 (with SIB-01 installed) to a SCSI device,
proceed as follows.
1.
Make sure that power to the MRS-1044 and the external SCSI
device is turned off. Then connect the SCSI connector on the
SIB-01 to the SCSI connector of the CD-R/CD-RW (CD-ROM)

drive, using a SCSI cable.
The SCSI cable should be a high-impedance type and should be as
short as possible. The use of an inferior cable can lead to malfunction
and damage.

2.
Mount the terminator on the external SCSI device.
The "terminator" is a special resistor that must be present on the last
device in a SCSI chain. Some devices have a terminator built in. In
such a case, set the switch for the terminator to ON.
3.
Set the SCSI ID of the external device to any number from 0 – 6.
The "SCSI ID" is a number from 0 to 7 that serves to identify a device
in a SCSI chain. Because the SCSI ID of the MRS-1044 (SIB-01) is
fixed to "7", the setting range for an external SCSI device connected
to the MRS-1044 is 0 - 6.
4.
Turn power on in the sequence external SCSI device
5.
When turning power off, proceed in the sequence MRS-1044

• While a SCSI device is connected, make sure that its power is
turned on when using the MRS-1044. Otherwise, operation of
NOTE
the MRS-1044 may become instable.
• It is in principle possible to connect up to two SCSI devices
(CD-R/CD-RW drive x 1 and other SCSI device x 1) to the
MRS-1044 (SIB-01). In such a case, make sure that the SCSI ID
is not duplicated. However, to assure stable operation, it is
highly recommended to connect only one SCSI device.
