KORG Triton Studio - Manual (Page 309)

External SCSI devices (hard disks, removable media, etc.)
can be connected to the SCSI connector of the TRITON STU-
DIO.
Data can be saved to a connected hard disk, removable
media, or CD-R/RW etc. in the same way as to a floppy
disk, and data can be loaded from a connected CD-ROM.
■ External SCSI device connections
and settings
• Maximum capacity of external drive: 2 TB (2,000 Gbytes)
per drive
• SCSI connector: D-sub half-pitch 50 pin
• Number of units that can be connected: up to 7 units
Please use the recommended drives for external con-
nection. For a list of recommended drives, please con-
tact your Korg distributor.
Since the external SCSI device to be connected may
have a different shape of connector, refer to the owner’s
manual for your external SCSI device to verify the type
of connector before you purchase a SCSI cable.
1. Turn off the power of the TRITON STUDIO and of your
external SCSI device.
Be sure to turn off the power of the TRITON STUDIO
and the external SCSI device before you connect or dis-
connect SCSI cables or change the ID number of the
external SCSI device.
If the power of the TRITON STUDIO or the external
SCSI device is on when you connect or disconnect SCSI
cables or change the ID number of the external SCSI
device, the TRITON STUDIO or the external SCSI
device may malfunction, or data may be lost.
2. On the external SCSI device, set the ID number (0–6).
If you are connecting two or more external SCSI devices
(in a “daisy-chain”), set each external SCSI device to a
different ID number so that they can be distinguished.
For details on setting the ID number, refer to the owner’s
manual for your external SCSI device.
If you set two or more external SCSI devices to the same
ID number, malfunctions or loss of data may result.
3. Connect the SCSI connector of the TRITON STUDIO to the
SCSI connector of the external SCSI device.
Pay attention to the orientation of the cable connector,
and make connections correctly. If the cable connector
has a lock (thumb-screw or page), be sure it is fastened
securely.
If you connect two or more external SCSI devices (in a
“daisy-chain”), be sure that the total length of the con-
nection cables does not exceed 3 meters.
4. Attach a terminator (terminating resistor) to the external
SCSI device so that the connection is terminated.
If two or more external SCSI devices are connected (in a
“daisy-chain”), terminate the device that is furthest from
the TRITON STUDIO.
Even if only one external SCSI device is connected, it
must be terminated.
Some external SCSI devices require an externally
attached terminator, while others contain an internal ter-
minator. Refer to the owner’s manual for your SCSI
device.
5. Turn on the power of the external SCSI device(s), and then
turn on the power of the TRITON STUDIO.
When you turn on the power, first turn on the power of
the external SCSI device, and after waiting at least ten
seconds, turn on the power of the TRITON STUDIO.
The power must be turned off in the order of TRITON
STUDIO fi external SCSI device.
Never turn off the power while the external SCSI device
is being accessed (e.g., while the LED of the external SCSI
device is lit).
When the power of the TRITON STUDIO is turned on,
it will check the SCSI device connection status, and if
the TRITON STUDIO is turned off during this checking
process, the SCSI device may stay in an inoperable
state. If the power of the TRITON STUDIO is once
again turned on in this state, the system cannot be
started up. You must turn the power of the SCSI device
off and then on again, and then turn on the power of
the TRITON STUDIO.
6. Make sure that the TRITON STUDIO has recognized the
external SCSI device.
Use the drive select command of the TRITON STUDIO’s
Disk mode etc. to make sure that the connected external
SCSI device has been recognized.
If it has not been recognized, immediately turn off the
power of the TRITON STUDIO and of the external SCSI
device, check the connections between the TRITON STU-
DIO and the external SCSI device.
