CMG-DM24

Before you can use the disk, you will need to reset it. The DM24 saves

data on the hard disk in a special format, so you cannot use your PC's
operating system to reset the disk.

You can use the DM24 itself, Scream!, or gcfxtract software to reset

the disk. For instructions on using Scream! and gcfxtract, please
see the documentation for these software packages, or their on-line

help.

To reset a FireWire disk with the DM24:

1. Power up the DM24, and connect it to your computer's serial

port.

2. Open its terminal console. To do this using Güralp Systems'

Scream! software, right-click on the digitizer's icon (once it
appears) and select Terminal.... From a Güralp DCM, issue the
command minicom -n port-number.

3. Issue the command DISKMENU. You will see the message

Plug in FireWire cable

4. Plug in your disk. The DM24 will output (on the console)

information about the disk as soon as it is detected.

5. Within the next 7 seconds, press any key to bring up the disk

menu.
