Chapter 2 Getting Started
You can hook up a maximum of seven SCSI
peripheral devices to a single host computer
through its SCSI bus.
Use either of the following Sony SCSI cable
(sold separately) to connect the disk unit.
• MOA-C08 (80 cm, full pitch
⇔
full pitch)
Notes:
• Before connecting the disk unit, be sure to turn
off the disk unit and all other devices on the
SCSI chain.
• If the disk unit is the last device on the SCSI
chain, set the function switch F on the rear
panel to “1” to turn on the internal terminator.
When it is not the last device, make sure that the
terminator is off (function switch F is set to
“0”).
• The total length of the SCSI cables connected to
a SCSI chain must not exceed six meters (19
feet 8 1/4 inches).
