Connecting Scsi Devices - Akai MPC4000 User Manual

USB devices support "hot plugging," which means you can connect or disconnect them even when the
power is on. When you connect a USB device, the MPC4000 will recognize it automatically.

Connecting SCSI devices

The MPC4000's rear panel has a [SCSI] connector that lets you connect devices such as a SCSI hard disk.
Up to seven SCSI devices (including the MPC4000 itself) can be connected, and each device is distin-
guished by its own SCSI ID number. Please observe the following cautions when connecting SCSI devices.
• The power of all devices must be turned off before you connect SCSI devices.
• Set the ID numbers of the SCSI devices so that they do not conflict with each other.
• At the factory, the MPC4000 is set to a SCSI ID of 6. However, you may change this if necessary. For
details, refer to the PDF reference manual.
• Use high-quality SCSI cables (high impedance cables) to connect the devices.
• You must use a terminator to terminate the last device in the SCSI chain. (The MPC4000 contains an
active terminator that is always on.)
• You must turn on the power in the order of SCSI devices
