Connection procedure

1. Make sure that the power is turned off for the AW4416 and for the

external SCSI device(s), and use a SCSI cable to connect the SCSI con-
nectors of each device.

When connecting an external SCSI device, use only high impedance SCSI cables
of 100 ohms (±10 ohms) impedance that are 1 meter or shorter in length.

Use only good-quality SCSI cables.

Note

• A maximum of seven SCSI devices (SCSI ID= 0–5,7) can be connected in a

daisy-chain (including the internal CD-RW drive).

• When connecting multiple SCSI devices, you must make sure that the SCSI ID

of each device (including the internal CD-RW drive) does not conflict with any
other device. (For details on how to set the SCSI ID, refer to the manuals for
your SCSI devices.)

• The SCSI ID of the AW4416 itself is fixed at “6.”
• In the various screens of the AW4416, the SCSI ID of the internal CD-RW drive

has been set to “3” by default. For this reason, if you install a CD-RW drive,
you will find it convenient to set its ID to “3.” (For details on setting the SCSI
ID, refer to the manual for your CD-RW drive.)

• If you install a CD-RW drive manufactured by Yamaha, the SCSI ID will be set

to “3” at the factory, and we recommend that you leave it at this setting.

2. Attach a terminator to the last SCSI device in the chain.

A “terminator” is a device that terminates the SCSI signal at the end of the chain,
and is normally attached to the vacant SCSI connector of the last device in the
daisy chain. If the SCSI device has an active terminator (a circuit that terminates
the signal electrically), turn it on. (For details of how to turn on the active termi-
nator, refer to the manual of your SCSI device.)

Before using an external SCSI device, you will need to format it. For details on
this procedure, refer to page 250.
