8 If necessary, connect the external SCSI hard disk(s) to the
new SCSI interface port on the interface panel.
An adapter cable may be necessary to connect the hard disk to
the DB-25 connector on the board. Your QMS vendor should be
able to provide you with this adapter cable.
“External SCSI Hard Disks,” later in this section, contains more
information on external hard disks.
9 Reconnect all interface cables and the power cord, turn on
any external hard disks, and then turn on the printer.
» Note:
For the printer to recognize external hard disks, each
hard disk must be turned on before you turn on the printer. If
the printer recognizes the disk(s)and the start-up page is
enabled, check to ensure that
DISK ONLINE
prints on that
page. If the start-up page is not enabled, print a status page
and check to see if
DISK ONLINE
prints on that page. (See
chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” of this manual, for
information on how to print a status page.)
If DISK ONLINE does not print, see chapter 6 of the Operation,
the “External and Internal Disk Problems” section, for more
information.
Properly installed disks will also appear in the “Options” section
of the start-up page as %%diskx% (where x is a 7 for an inter-
nal IDE hard disk and 0 - 6 for any external SCSI hard disks—
this digit reflects the SCSI ID set on the back of the external
SCSI drive).
