Be sure to turn off the power to the recorder (or remove the power cable from the AC outlet) before
installing a hard disk.

First, you need to disassemble the removable case included in the package so that you can install a hard
disk into it.

direction of the arrow.

• A hard disk is a high-precision device. Do not apply any impact to the disk when and after you install it in

the case. Do not leave the disk near a device that generates a strong magnetic field. Choose a level and stable
surface for installation. Be careful not to injure yourself.
Fostex is not liable for any malfunction or damage to the hard disk caused by mishandling.

• You need to set the DIP (Jumper) switch on the hard disk to “MASTER” before you install it into the removable

case. If the switch is set to “SLAVE,” the hard disk will not function correctly.
Refer to the instruction manual that came with your hard disk for more information on the DIP (Jumper)
switch setting.
