Operation
POWERING UP THE HARD DISK
The disk module handle is the on/off
power switch for the hard disk drive.
When the handle is pushed fully in,
power is applied to the hard disk
drive inside the disk module.
The hard disk will spin and the light
green power LED will illuminate,
staying illuminated as long as the
handle is fully in. SETTING THE SCSI ID
When there is power going to the
disk module, the SCSI Identification
(ID) number appears in a window
above the function switch on the disk
module front panel.
At the top of that window is a small
hole in the panel. To set or change
the SCSI ID, use a small blunt-end
probe and gently but firmly press the
switch that is behind the panel. Each
push (click) advances the ID by one
number.
NOTE: It is important that each disk
module be given an ID
(from 0 through 6) that is
not used by any other Z
Microsystems’ disk module
on the same bus, or any
other device, such as a tape
drive or CD-ROM that may
already be on the bus.
NOTE: Depending on the computer
of the host computer, the
choice of ID number for the
TranzPak 6 disk module
may be limited. Some
operating systems reserve
certain ID numbers for disk
drives. Consult the
computer’s User Guide if the
initial ID setting is not
recognized by the host
operating system.
NOTE: Refer to the TranzPak 6 User
Manual for details about
system operations.
NOTE: The host computer may or
may not recognize the
addition of a device on the
SCSI bus. The computer
may have to be rebooted
after adding a new device.
Refer to the operating
system manual.
