ESI Operation Manual
Saving Data to a Floppy Disk:
1. Press the Save button. Position the cursor under the drive
number in line two. Select the floppy drive using the Data Entry
Control.
2. Insert a floppy disk and press ENTER. The display will say,
“Saving Bank”. If the save requires multiple disks, the display
prompts you to insert the next disk. Once the save operation is
completed, the display returns to the main screen. If the save
required multiple disks, make sure to label them numerically.
Using an External Hard Disk
You may connect an external hard disk, to load and save data, to the ESI
external SCSI port. Before connecting any SCSI device, always make sure
that power to the ESI and the external SCSI device is turned Off.
To Connect an External Hard Disk Drive
1. Turn all power Off to the ESI and the external drive.
2. Connect the external drive to the ESI using the proper type of
SCSI cable. This will most likely be a 50-pin, male to male
Centronics type. (Please read the SCSI section in this manual for
important information on SCSI connections.)
3. Turn on the external SCSI device BEFORE the ESI.
4. Turn on the ESI.
To Format a Hard Disk Drive
Like a floppy disk, a hard disk must also be formatted before it can be
used to store information.
1. Activate the Master/Global module.
2. Select Disk Utilities (7), Format Disk (6).
3. Select the hard disk using the data entry control and press
ENTER. Your hard disk should appear in the list of available drives.
If the hard disk is not listed, use Disk Utilities, 1 to Mount Drive.
After Mounting, the hard disk should appear in the list of available
drives. If it does not appear, turn everything Off, then read the SCSI
chapter in this manual for possible solutions.
4. Consider the consequences of your action. Formatting the hard
disk will erase everything on that disk. The display will inquire if
you want to do this.
5. Press Yes to continue the formatting procedure or No to cancel
the operation and return to the Module Identifier. Formatting a
hard disk can take quite some time, depending on the size of the
disk. Take a break.
Saving Data to a Hard Disk
The hard disk drive is used to make permanent backups of your work.
Although you can back up your work to floppy disks, the capacity of the
floppy drive is too small to be efficient. Only the hard disk (or its
equivalent) should be used for sound storage.
