Chapter 9: Saving and Loading From Disk

Page 185

To connect your external SCSI hard disk to the MPC60, turn power off

for both the hard drive and the MPC60. Then, connect the hard drive to

the MPC60’s SCSI port. (WARNING: Never connect or disconnect

any SCSI device while power is on. This could damage both the

device itself and the MPC60.) Turn the power on to both the SCSI drive

and the MPC60, press the DISK key, then press 8, then 3. The following

screen will appear:

=========== Format Hard Disk ===========

Formatting will prepare the disk for

storing data.

Enter SCSI address of hard disk:AUTO

========================================

There is one field:

• The Enter SCSI address of hard disk field:

If the only SCSI device connected is the hard disk to be formatted, enter

AUTO here and the MPC60 will automatically determine its SCSI

address. (It is strongly recommended to have no other SCSI devices

connected during a hard disk format.) If more than one SCSI device is

connected, enter here the SCSI address of the hard disk drive to be

formatted (0 - 6). SCSI address 7 cannot be used because it is the SCSI

address of the MPC60.

Now press <Next screen>. The display should change to the following:

=========== Format Hard Disk ===========

Press <Format now> to format unit 5.

THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON THE DISK!

(When done, you will be asked to enter

the number of ‘partitions’ to divide the

disk into.)

========================================

It tells you the SCSI address of the attached drive (0-6). If you’re sure

you want to format the disk, press <Format now> to start formatting. The

formatting process may take up to about 10 minutes. When finished, the

following screen will appear:

1 2 ... 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 ... 240 241
