Chapter 11: Using a disk (Disk mode)

This chapter explains Disk mode, in which you can set up an internal JAZ disk and external SCSI devices.

Notes on handling a disk

CAUTION :

Be sure to eject a JAZ disk from the drive before you turn off the power to the DPS12. Simi-

larly, turn on the power to the DPS12 first before inserting a JAZ disk into the drive.

The DPS12 searches and detects disks connected to the SCSI bus in order of SCSI ID when the power is turned

on. It then starts up the first detected disk that contains a Projects and specifies it as the current disk (working

disk). (At this time, backup disks and unformatted disks are not selected.)

Removable disks, such as JAZ disks, will not be detected until they are inserted. To use a removable disk as the

current disk, insert a disk immediately after you turn the power on.

If the DPS12 does not find disk that contains a Project in the SCSI bus, it will continue to search for one while the

start-up screen is displayed. At this time, pressing the [F6] key will cause a new Project to start with a

recording time of zero.

➸

NOTE :

Refer to page 22 for more information on starting and formatting a disk and creating a Project.

Using the Disk mode screen

Disk mode enables you to control the internal JAZ drive and an external SCSI device. Pressing the [DISK] key

while the transport section is stopped will set the DPS12 to Disk mode. The following DISK SETUP screen

appears.

This screen contains the following information.

1 (ID number)

This field allows you to set the SCSI ID of the DPS12. Make sure that you assign a unique number that is not

used as the SCSI ID of another device. The new SCSI ID number takes effect when you move to a subsequent

screen. The default setting is “6”.

➸

NOTE :

If you try to change the SCSI ID number to a number assigned to another connected device, the

value will not change.
