4. Connect the 50-pin end of the SCSI cable to one of the SCSI ports on
the back of the hard disk and fasten the clips. The SCSI cable can be
connected to either SCSI port on the back of the hard disk.
5. Switch on the hard disk first, wait 15 seconds, and then switch on the
printer.
When a hard drive is attached to the printer, make sure that the drive is
powered on before powering on the printer. Otherwise, either the hard
drive will not be recognized or the printer will not initialize.
Note: Some hard drives issue a Unit Attention (UA) message when they are first
accessed by the printer. The UA message conflicts with the Elite XL’s startup proce-
dures, causing the drive not to be recognized. To eliminate this problem switch the
printer off and back on again with the drive still powered on. This procedure will
need to be used each time the hard drive is power cycled.
6. Print a Start Page or Configuration page.
Information will appear on both of these pages regarding the hard disk. If the
disk has not been initialized, the status information will not reflect the
additional space. (See page 2-11 for information about printing the Configu-
ration Page.)
