Adding a hard disk for font storage

You can connect one or more Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
external hard disks to the printer for additional font storage. When you
download a font to an external disk, the font remains there until you remove
it. In general, any disk that works with a LaserWriter NTX works with
this printer.

To connect an external disk, you need these items:

A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk. The printer uses a SCSI-2,
50-pin connector. See “Interface cables and adapters” on page 5-3
if you need a 50-pin connector.

One SCSI cable terminator, unless one of your disks has an
internal terminator.

The printer can support up to seven external disks. When connecting a hard
disk to the printer, follow these guidelines:

You must turn on the disk(s) before you turn on the printer. Wait at
least one minute after turning on the disk(s) before turning on the
printer.

The printer must always be at one end of the chain with a
terminator at the other end (or a terminated device such as the
Phaser Copystation).

With multiple disks, each disk must have a unique SCSI ID
number. Do not turn on the printer or disk until each disk has a
unique number
.

With multiple disks, only one disk can contain a Sys/Start file.
