Page 6: Precautions
Precautions I Power source The PCD-47 uses a standard domestic household power cord. The PCD-47-MAC and PCD-47-PC operate at voltages between 100V to 240V. The PCD-47B operates using the computer’s electrical power. I Power cord - Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy objects on - Damage to the cord may cause fire or electric shock. -

4. Making connections with a computer This drive unit connects to a computer through a SCSI cable. There are two types of connection depending on whether or not an additional SCSI device is to be used. These two cases are discussed later in this section. -
Page 14: Termination
Termination When this unit is the only device on the SCSI chain, or the last device on the SCSI chain, it must be terminated. External: attach the terminator to the SCSI connector not being used. Internal: Default is terminated. When the termination pin jumper is “off”, the unit is terminated. -
Page 15: Use With Other Scsi Devices
To obtain this information, refer to the related computer and SCSI device manuals. Take care not to use the same SCSI ID number more than once. * The PCD-47 uses 3 SCSI IDs. See “Setting the SCSI ID” for a table explaining the SCSI IDs. -
Page 16: Setting Scsi Id (External)
SCSI ID=6 are available for this drive unit. It will therefore be necessary to pay close attention to the SCSI IDs on your Macintosh, as the PCD-47 requires three SCSI IDs. See “Setting SCSI IDs” for an explanation of SCSI ID usage. -
