VR800 Quick Operation Guide
* Before making connections, make sure that both the VR800 and the SCSI drive are turned off.
* Be sure to set the SCSI ID number for the SCSI drive correctly, according to the purpose of the
drive (as a current drive or a back-up drive). The ID setting is very important.
* The SCSI connector on the VR800 is a 25-pin connector compatible with Macintosh computers.
Use a cable with connectors that confirm to the standards for connecting a SCSI drive.
* The last SCSI drive on the SCSI chain should be terminated. Install a SCSI terminator, or turn the
termination switch to “on” if the drive has a termination switch (like a zip drive).
* Up to two SCSI drives may be connected on a SCSI chain with the VR800.
Connect one SCSI drive as a “current drive” for real-time recording/playback. (Refer to “SCSI ID
number setting” below.) Refer to the main Owner’s Manual for more information on connecting a
SCSI drive as a back-up drive.
