Setting up the Disk Drive
Connecting the Drive to Your Host Computer
Connecting the Drive to Your Host Computer
The disk drive is a “narrow,” single-ended SCSI-2 device. This means that the drive
connects to a 50-line single-ended-type SCSI bus using 50-pin high-density
connectors.
You can connect the drive to a SCSI bus either as the only device on the bus or as
one of a number of devices on the bus (daisy-chained).
The SCSI ID you choose for this drive identifies the drive on the bus and also sets its
priority for use of the bus. If you would like more info rmat ion on the operat ion of
the SCSI bus, refer to Appendix B . Also, refer to y our hos t adapte r’s d ocument ation
for guidance on installing this drive on the b us .
The following sections will describe the steps to install this drive onto the bus. You
must do the following:
• Determine and set the drive’s operating mode
• Determine and set the SCSI ID of the drive
• Attach the bus cable and ensure the bus is properly terminated
Setting the Operating Mode and Write Verify
This drive may be operated in two modes :
• as an optical memory device
• as a direct access device
In most cases, you can select the optical memory device mode (which is the default
setting). Choose the “direct access device” mode if your system does not support
optical memory devices or if your system requires a direct access device. Check
your system documentation to d e termine which mode to select.
In either mode of operation, you have the choice of write verify on or off.
The write verify configuration ensures that data is written reliably to an optical disk.
The drive ships with write verify enabled. Many software appl ications also default
to this method of writing.
Writing data on a magneto-optical disk requires two passes. The first pa ss erases the
data in the sector to which data will be written. The second pass writes new d ata to
that sector.
1-6 Chapter 1
Setting up the Disk Drive
Connecting the Drive to Your Host Computer
When write verify is configured to ON, an additional pass is made over the sector.
This third pass verifies that all data is written correctl y to the sector. To add to the
reliability of your data, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you maintain the default
ON setting for write verify. Note that when write verify is ON, write operations take
more time.
To set the device mode and the write verify mode:
1. Determine which operating mode you need (optical memory device or direct
access device) and whether you want write verify ON or OFF.
The following are the selections available on the mode switch:
• 2 - optical memory device with write verify ON (default).
• 0 - optical memory device with write verify OFF.
• 1 - direct access device with write verify OFF.
• 3 - direct access device with write verify ON.
2. Set the operating mode.
Chapter 1: Setting
up the Disk Drive
Setting up the
Disk Drive
a. Locate the operation mode switch on the rear panel of the disk drive (see “2”
on Figure 1-1).
b. Set the operation mode by pushing the button on the top or bottom of the
window (as explained below) with a small screwdriver or the point of a pen:
• the button above the mode window decreases the number by one
• the button below the mode window increases the number by one
NOTE If you change the op eration mod e with power on, you must power cy cle the drive for
the mode to take effect.
Setting the SCSI ID
CAUTION Before disconnecting power to any device on the SCSI bus, make sure the bus is
inactive. Switching off power while the SCSI bu s is active can result in data loss
or indeterminate bus states.
1. Turn drive power OFF (“4” on Figure 1-1).
2. Check which SCSI addresses are available. Usually the host bus adapter is set to
7 and the addresses available are in the range 0 to 6.
The default SCSI ID setting of this drive is 4.
Chapter 1 1- 7
Setting up the Disk Drive
Connecting the Drive to Your Host Computer
3. Locate the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel of the disk drive (see “1” on Figure
1-1.
4. Set the SCSI ID by pushing the button at the top or bottom of the window (as
explained below) with a small screwdriver or the point of a pen:
• the button above the ID window decreases the number by one
• the button below the ID window increases the number by one
NOTE If you change the SCSI ID with power on, you must power cycle the drive so that
the host recognizes the new ID.
Cabling and Termination
NOTE This drive is a SCSI “fast” device. The maximum allowable length of the SCSI
cable cannot exceed 3 meters (4.9 feet), including the internal cable length of all
peripherals on the bus.
Use 0.5 meter (1.6 ft) as the internal SCSI cable length of this drive.
1. Plug one end of the power cord into the AC line connector on the back of the
optical disk drive and the other end into the power outlet.
2. Press the power switch on the rear of the optical disk drive so that it is in the
“ON” position (press “1”).
3. Switch on the power to the host computer (or if the host computer has been on
during this installation, powercycle the host computer so that it will “see” this
disk drive.
NOTE For some host computers to recognize the optical disk drive, the power to the disk
drive must be switched on before the power to the host computer.
4. Install the drivers appropriate for your host operating system.
The Software Architects drivers shipped with this drive enable you to read and
write 8X disks with the following operating systems:
• MAC OS8
• DOS
• Windows 3.1 and Windows 95
• Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0

Using Optical Disks
The optical disks that you use with this drive are an integral part of the storage
process. This chapter provides information on the follo wing topics:
choosing an optical disk type
•
• labeling optical disks
• write-protecting optical disks
• caring for optical disks
NOTE The optical cartridges used in this drive are a critical part of reliable data storage.
Optical cartridges consist of an opto-magnetic medium and mechanical components.
Consistent quality of opto-magnetic media ensu res correct “writes” and “reads.”
The quality and fit of the mechanical components of the cartridge affect accurate,
smooth handling of the cartridge by the drive. A failure of the mechanical
components of a cartridge could damage the drive mechanism.
CAUTION Use only HP-qualified media cartri dge s. Use of no n-HP-qu a li fie d op tical cartri dg es
could damage the drive and void the warranty.
NOTE A list of Hewlett-Packard optical media cartridges is in Table A-1 of Appendix A.
If you are not using HP media, please refer to the list of HP-qualified manufacturers
