Once you have mounted all external and internal SCSI devices, the following will aid
you in determining if they are all detected.
1. Ensure that the Prodigy 2 Engine is completely reassembled and that there are no
loose cables.
2. Power up the Prodigy 2 Engine.
3. Press the SPACE BAR once a gray display is seen. If you miss the time window in
which the Space bar must be pressed, simply reboot and try again.
4. The displayed prompt is " Select a boot method from the above menu: ".
5. From the prompt type " SCAN " < RETURN >.
6. Observe that all SCSI devices are detected.
7. You may need to run this command a couple of times as some drives are much
slower to boot than the Engine.
8. If a SCSI device is not seen, power down the system and check all SCSI ID's and that
the SCSI and power cables are connected.

To set up optical drives for use on the Prodigy 2 Engine, it is not necessary to format the
media. All that is required is that the following command be run on the media;
DISKINIT /tdwx -w -n="Name" ( e.g. Boot )
This command must be run from the shell on the Prodigy 2 Engine, so you will need to quit
from the main disk recorder application to the shell.
When media is not in use it is strongly recommended that the media is ejected from the
drive to ensure that the media has not deteriorated due to the level of heat in the drive itself.
CAUTION - KEEP MEDIA AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND STRONG MAGNETIC
FIELDS AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DISK.
Please Note - The system automatically detects new SCSI devices. For example if an Optical
drive is connected at boot up and the media is not present the device will be seen on the
Project page, however it will indicate no media. On placing a suitable formatted media in the
drive the device will become available for use.
Hard drives will also be automatically detected if they are installed correctly.
Please avoid connecting external devices by breaking the SCSI chain while the system is
running as it can either crash the system or if a project is open lead to project corruption
