7.5 Formatting the HDD

If you have replaced the HDD, you must format it and then download the system soft-
ware, RUI, and language.

7.5.1 Making Connections

The discussions that follow assume the use of a parallel cable:
1) Using a parallel cable, connect the PC to the parallel connector on the left side of the
controller.
• At this time, the PC must remain OFF.
• Connect the 25-pin connector of the bi-Centronics cable to the PC and the 36-pin con-
nector to the machine.
2) Turn on the PC, and start up the Service Support Tool.
3) Connect the machine's power plug to the power outlet; while holding down '2' and '8'
of the keypad at the same time, turn on the main power switch.
