●
Use good-quality SCSI cable. Cable length should be kept short. For specific limi-
tations on cable length, refer to the documentation provided with your external
SCSI device.
●
If you are connecting multiple devices in a chain, the SU700 must be at one
end of the chain. It cannot be in the middle of the chain.
●
If you are connecting to a single SCSI device, that device must be terminated. If
you are connecting to a chain of SCSI devices, the device at the other end of the
chain must be terminated. For information about SCSI termination, refer to the
instructions provided with your external SCSI device(s).
For information about how to format and use external SCSI disks, refer to the expla-
nations for the DISK | UTILITY jobs (
→
p.293).
1.4 Starting Up
Use the following procedure to start up the SU700.
1. Make sure that the power cable is connected as described above.
2. If you wish to begin by loading a volume from floppy disk, insert the disk before
switching on the power. (The SU700 will automatically load the floppy-disk vol-
ume during the startup sequence.)
Before starting the SU700 for the first time, therefore, you should insert the
accessory floppy disk in the slot.
NOTE:
Auto-loading does not work with volumes that span multiple disks. If you want to load a
volume from multiple disks, you must start the SU700 first and then use the DISK | LOAD/
LOAD VOLUME job (
→
p.281).
3. Press the power switch on the rear panel so that it engages in the ON position.
This causes the SU700 to execute its power-on sequence.
• The SU700 begins by displaying its name.
• It then checks for options and indicates any options that it finds.
• It then checks the amount of installed RAM, and indicates the results.
• It then checks whether a floppy disk with a valid volume has been inserted in
the disk slot. If so, it indicates that it has found the volume, and then proceeds
to load the volume.
• The SU700 enters PLAY STANDBY mode, with SONG 01 selected.
