3.1.1 - Software Installation
In order to use your LaCie DDS4 drive, you will need to first install application
software. Unlike a hard disk, CD-R/RW or DVD-RAM/R/RW drive, the DDS4
drive will not be displayed on your Windows or Mac desktop, and will not be
attributed a logical unit letter in Windows. Instead, this drive is managed
entirely by the application software, which displays a list of connected drives.
As a result, when you want to backup your information, you will need to utilize
the application software.
For guidance on application software that can be used with your LaCie DDS4
Drive and the supported operating systems, please contact your reseller or
LaCie Technical Support.
3.1.2 - SCSI Card Verification
Mac Users
To verify that your SCSI card has been installed correctly and is recognized, go
to the
Apple System Profiler
and click on the
Devices and Volumes
tab.
Your SCSI bus should be listed. If it does not appear, contact the card
manufacturer.
Windows Users
To verify that your SCSI card has been installed correctly and is recognized, go
to
Control Panel
>
System
> (For Windows 2000 and XP, the tab is
Hardware
> )
Device Manager
tab. Double-click on SCSI Controllers. If an
“ X” or “!” symbol appears next to the icon for the SCSI adapter card, this
means that it has not been installed correctly. If it has not been installed
correctly, try reinstalling it or contact the card manufacturer. For more
information on the installation and configuration of SCSI cards, please contact
the card manufacturer.
3.1.3 - Setting the SCSI ID Number
Before connecting your LaCie DDS4 drive to your computer, you need to set
the unit’s SCSI ID number and, if necessary, terminate the drive.
Each device in your SCSI chain needs a unique ID number, either from 0 to 6
for Narrow SCSI, or any number between 0-6 and 8-15 for LVD/Wide SCSI (ID
7 is generally reserved for your computer’s SCSI controller). Press the top or
bottom button of the SCSI ID selector switch to increase or decrease the SCSI
ID number.
Important Note:
The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain
must be unique. Make sure that your LaCie DDS4 drive’s SCSI ID
number is not the same as any other device in the chain.
