Chapter 1: Outline of the DPS12
About external SCSI devices
The rear panel of the DPS12 is equipped with a half-pitch 50-pin SCSI connector (SCSI-2 standard), which you
can connect to an external hard disk or MO drive to back up, record, or play back data.
NOTES :
Some models of external SCSI devices may not be compatible with the DPS12. Also, you may not be able to
record or playback, or you may have only a limited number of tracks available for simultaneous multitrack
recording and playback.
Consult AKAI technical support for more information on the manufacturers and models of external SCSI
devices that are compatible with the DPS12.

Example of connecting a single SCSI device to the DPS12
Install a terminator on the SCSI device. If the SCSI device has a built-in active terminator, turn it on. (Refer to
the instruction manual that came with the SCSI device for more information on how to turn on the active
terminator.) Set the SCSI ID number of the external SCSI device to any number other than 4 or 6.
TIPS :
A terminator is a device that terminates the end of the SCSI connection. Usually, you install the termina-
tor on the SCSI device on the SCSI connector that is not connected to the SCSI cable. Some SCSI devices
may have a built-in active terminator that performs termination electrically. In this case, turn the
terminator on/off using the dedicated switch.
SCSI devices recognize and identify each other using an identification of 0–7 called the SCSI ID. The
factory SCSI ID setting of the DPS12 is 6 (changeable), and the ID of the JAZ drive is 4 (fixed). You
need to use other numbers as SCSI IDs for other connected SCSI devices.
