Setting up the RWZ52
Connecting to the host computer
When you are ready to connect the RWZ52 to your host computer, note
the following cautions, then complete the steps below.
CAUTION:
•
Perform a full system backup prior to
connecting the optical disk drive to the host
computer for full data protection.
•
Verify that the bus is inactive before
disconnecting power to any device on the
SCSI bus. Shutting off any device while the
SCSI bus is active can result in data loss or
indeterminate bus states.
•
Remove an inserted disk before the drive is
moved. Damage to the optical read/write
mechanism can occur if the drive is moved or
bumped while the power is off and a disk is
inserted.
Step 1.Make sure the power is switched off on both the computer and
the optical disk drive.
Step 2.Connect a SCSI cable from the RWZ52 to the host or to the last
peripheral which has been daisy-chained.
Step 3.Connect a SCSI terminator to the last device in the chain.
NOTE:
The length of the SCSI cable cannot exceed 6
meters, including the internal cable length of all
peripherals on the SCSI bus. The RWZ52
internal cable length is .3 m.
Step 4.Plug one end of the power cord into the AC line connector on the
back of the RWZ52 and the other end into the power outlet.
Step 5.Press in the power switch on the rear of the RWZ52 so that it is
in the "ON" position.
Step 6.Switch on the power to the host computer.
