•
AC power input: Use the power cord supplied with your drive.
•
SCSI ID dial: Use this dial to designate SCSI ID numbers. Rotate the dial to
change the number. If you are using more than one SCSI peripheral, you may
need to change your SCSI ID number; see page 12.
•
DIP switches: Use to select parity, SCSI termination or block size. Leave these
switches at their factory settings unless one or more of the following situations
pertains to you:
PRTY: Parity. In some cases, you may need to turn parity off; see page 15.
TERM: SCSI termination. In some situations, you may need to set this
jumper to turn the PlexWriter’s SCSI termination off; see page 13 for details.
TEST: For factory use only. Do not change this setting.
BLOCK: Block size. You may need to change this setting if you are
working in a UNIX environment and want to boot from your PlexWriter; see
page 15.
•
Audio output connectors: Output stereo analog signal. Use to connect to sound
board or audio amplifier. Use standard RCA jack connectors.
•
SCSI-In and SCSI-Out interface connectors: Use one connector to link your
PlexWriter to your SCSI interface board. Use the other to link your PlexWriter to
another SCSI peripheral in a chain; see page 30. You may use either connector
for either purpose.
