Connection Procedure
Changing the ID Number of the DL750/DL750P
Before connecting the DL750/DL750P to a PC, you may need to change the SCSI ID of
the DL750/DL750P so that it does not conflict with the PC’s ID. For the procedure in
changing the ID, see section 13.6.
Changing the ID Number of the Internal Hard Disk Drive
Set the ID number of the internal hard disk drive so that it does not overlap with the IDs
of other SCSI devices. For the procedure in changing the ID, see section 13.6.
CAUTION
• Make sure to follow the procedures exactly as written in “Connecting the
instrument to the PC” described below. Otherwise, drives of other SCSI devices
connected to the PC may get damaged.
• Never change the contents on the DL750/DL750P disk from the PC (read only).
Writing to the disk may destroy files.
• Never perform the following operations. The internal hard disk of the DL750/
DL750P will become inaccessible.
• Delete files on the internal hard disk of the DL750/DL750P from the PC.
• Add files to the internal hard disk of the DL750/DL750P from the PC.
• While connected to the PC, the File List window of the DL750/DL750P may not
be displayed properly.
• If the connected PC enters sleep, standby, or rest mode, the DL750/DL750P will
not be able to access the internal hard disk. Before connecting the PC to the
DL750/DL750P, disable such modes on the PC.
