MPC3000 Software Update Version 3.1 Operator’s Manual

Only addresses 0 - 6 may be used for external SCSI devices. Address 7 cannot

be used because it is the address of the MPC3000.

• The SCSI device address to make active field:

This field determines which SCSI address will be made active when the power

is turned on or when <Make active> is pressed. It is a choice field with

the following options:

AUTO (scan for lowest addressed SCSI device)

0 (scan for SCSI device address 0)

1 (scan for SCSI device address 1)

2 (scan for SCSI device address 2)

3 (scan for SCSI device address 3)

4 (scan for SCSI device address 4)

5 (scan for SCSI device address 5)

6 (scan for SCSI device address 6)

If only one SCSI device is connected to the SCSI port, select AUTO. Then,

when <Make active> is pressed or when power is turned on, the single

device will be made active regardless of its address setting, 0 - 6. (If two or

more devices are connected when the “AUTO” scan is done, only the device

with the lowest address will be made active.) In operating system 3.08 or

earlier, the MPC3000 always performed an “AUTO” scan at power-on.

It is only necessary to enter a specific SCSI address (0 - 6) in this field if more

than one SCSI device is connected to the SCSI port. In this case, enter the

specific address of the device you want to make active (0 - 6). Then, when

<Make active> is pressed or when power is turned on, the SCSI port

will be scanned and only the device with the specified address will be made

active.

• The Timeout for SCSI scan field:

This field has the same function as the Power-on SCSI search

delay field, used in operating system version 3.08 or earlier. When <Make

active> is pressed or when power is turned on, the MPC3000 continu-

ously scans the SCSI port for a device to make active. If it doesn’t find a de-

vice, it continues its scan for the number of seconds entered in this field, then

displays an error message. Since the scan is usually done at power-on when

both the MPC3000 and the hard disk are turned on simultaneously, it is im-

portant to give enough waiting time for the hard disk to spin up to operating

speed. Most hard disks come up to operating speed within about 20 seconds,

so the default setting here is 30 seconds. If the MPC3000 is not recognizing

your hard disk when both devices are powered on simultaneously, try a longer

scan time in this field.

COMMENT: If you aren’t using a hard disk and you’d like to elimi-

nate this power-on scan time, select 0 in this field.
