14.4 SCSI Interface

14.4.2 Setting the MO Disk Drive
CAUTION
Do not power off while the MO disk is being accepted.
NOTE
■ Connection to a MO disk drive
・Select a SCSI cable with a connector corresponding to that of the disk drive.
・Check that both the 8841/42 and the MO disk drive are powered off.
・Connect firmly the SCSI connector on the right side panel of the 8841/42
and the MO disk drive.
■ Powering on
・Always power on the MO disk drive before powering on the 8841/42.
・Always power off the MO disk drive after powering off the 8841/42.
■ System configuration
・A maximum of seven SCSI interfaces can be connected, but the 8841/42 can
only access either of one MO disk drive.
・It is not possible to operate more than one SCSI initiator (a personal computer
for example) on the same SCSI bus. In the worst case this could lead not only
to bus collisions and data loss, but also to damage to one or other SCSI
controller.
・Ensure that all devices on the SCSI bus have different address IDs.
・Fit a terminator on the last SCSI device on the daisy-chain.
■ MO disk drive
・Within the SCSI standard, some commands are left for manufacturer-
dependent use. A MO disk drive which requires such commands cannot be
used with the 8841/42.
・Depending on the operating environment and any impedance mismatch of
the interface cable, it is possible for timing discrepancies on the SCSI bus to
prevent the MO disk drive from operating normally.
■ MO type
Use 3.5-inch MO disks (128, 230, 540, 640 MB: rewritable and overwrite)
with this unit.
The following MO drives have been used satisfactorily by HIOKI. (As of
April 2001)
230 MB I O Data RM-MO230F-L, MOF-230, MOF-230W
Olympus 230MO TURBO
TEAC MO-230S
Midori Elec. UM-323R
Logitec LMO-230
640 MB I O Data RM-MO640F, MOF-640, MOF-S640, MOF-H640,
MOF-R640, MOF-RM640, MOF-SM640
Olympus 640MO TURBO
Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. MK640F
Midori Elec. UM-640F
Logitec LMO-640, LMO-640S2, LMO-640F, LMO-S640F,
LMO-S645F, LMO-A636S
Fujitsu SMB-640WF, FMO-640W3, FMO-640WL3
Note that the MO may not be compatible should the MO drive specifications
be changed, even if the model No. remains the same.
