About external SCSI devices
The external SCSI devices referred to here are storage
devices used to backup/restore the internal data of the
AW2816, and can be connected to the SCSI connec-
tor on the rear panel of the AW2816. The following
types of storage device can be used.
• Type of drive: MO drives (128 MB, 230 MB,
540MB, 640 MB 1.3 GB), hard disk drives, CD-
RW drives
• Interface: SCSI-2
• Models known to work: consult your local
Yamaha distributor or refer to the website at the
following URL.
<http://www.aw2816.com/>
• By “models known to work,” we mean commercially
available models that Yamaha has obtained, con-
nected to the AW2816, and successfully tested by
means of various operational tests. However, we
cannot take into account slight differences in perfor-
mance that may occur due to the manufacturing tol-
erances of each manufacturer.
• Please be aware that Yamaha Corporation will
accept no responsibility for any damages, neither
direct nor indirect, resulting from the use of any of
the above storage devices.
It is not possible to directly record or play back audio
signals in realtime on an external storage device con-
nected to the SCSI connector.
Connection procedure
1
Make sure that the power is turned off for
the AW2816 and for the external SCSI
device(s), and use a SCSI cable to connect
the SCSI connectors of each device.
Use only good-quality SCSI cables.
When connecting an external SCSI device, use
only high impedance SCSI cables of 100 ohms
(±10 ohms) impedance that are 1 meter or
shorter in length.
Note
• A maximum of seven SCSI devices (SCSI ID= 0–5,7)
can be connected in a daisy-chain.
• When connecting multiple SCSI devices, you must
make sure that the SCSI ID of each device does not
conflict with any other device. (For details on how
to set the SCSI ID, refer to the manuals for your
SCSI devices.)
• The SCSI ID of the AW2816 itself is fixed at “6.”
