D-108 Quick Operation Guide

The D-108 has a SCSI terminal to connect an external SCSI drive, which enables you to use an MO, Zip, or fixed

drive as a current disk drive.

For more information on SCSI drives supported by the D-108, refer to the "List of drives with guaranteed

operation" in the User's Guide.

The following instructions assume that you already have an external SCSI drive and disk.

MO drive & MO disk

* You can also use a fixed SCSI disk.

Installing a detachable controller to the D-108

To use only a SCSI drive as the current drive, first you need to install a detachable controller to the D-108.

Do not remove the blank panel on the drive slot to avoid electrical shock.

Do not touch the blank panel. Leave it as is.

Install the detachable controller using the hooks on the

front panel of the D-108.

Connect the external SCSI drive to the SCSI connector (D-sub, 25-pin) on the rear panel of the D-108.

Read the following notes on handling SCSI drives and disks, and the "Notes on connections" and "SCSI ID

number setting" sections thoroughly.

• SCSI drives and disks are made of precision parts. Follow the instruction below when you handle or

store them.

* Do not drop them or apply strong impact to them.

* Do not expose them to strong vibrations.

* Do not expose them to substantial changes in temperature or humidity.

* Do not locate them in dusty places.

* Do not expose them to dripping water.

* Do not place them near devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

• Malfunction or misuse of the unit may cause the data recorded on SCSI disks to be erased.

We recommend that you save important recordings to a DAT, adat, or SCSI disk. Fostex is not

responsible for any damages due to erased data or any consequential damages caused by use of the

D-108.
