When There Is No Hard Disk Installed
Even when there is no hard disk installed in the VS-
1680, it still can be used with only a Zip drive connect-
ed to the SCSI connector. In such instances, it takes
approximately 30 seconds after the power is turned on
of the VS-1680 to check its internal hard disk connec-
tion status. To avoid this wait, you can preset the VS-
1680 not to attempt to use the internal hard disk.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)].
The System menu icon is displayed. If the System
menu icon does not appear, then press [F6 (EXIT)].

in [F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” is dis-
played, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].
