1-2. Layout Power LED (Green) AC Adapter jack 6 pin FireWire (IEEE1394) port Fig. 1 Front Side Fig. 1 shows the front side layout of the FR1SX. Power LED light-on state indicates the FR1SX is powered. If this LED is NOT lit, an optional AC adapter is needed. Refer to Chapter 8 regarding optional items. High-Density 50 pin SCSI connector Fig. 2 Back Side Fig. 2 shows the back side layout of the FR1SX. The FR1SX has a High- Density 50 pin SCSI male connector. If you have a SCSI device with a diffe

1-3. System Requirements System IEEE 1394 (Firewire) enabled system OS • Mac OS X 10.1.x or later / Mac OS 9.1 or later • Windows Server 2003/XP/2000/Me/98SE SCSI device • High-Density 50 pin female SCSI-2 connector on a SCSI device (If the SCSI connector type is different, refer to Chapter 8) • Term-Power output capability Caution: As FR1SX gets electric power from Term-Power on SCSI bus, this output capability is required. If Term-Power output is not available at your SCSI device such as iomeg

1-4. Restrictions & Limitations • FR1SX does not support multiple SCSI IDs. (If multiple SCSI device is connected, the lowest SCSI ID’s device is recognized by the FR1SX.) • FR1SX doesn’t support LUN(Logical Unit Number). • (For Windows Users Only) Booting system from a SCSI device through the FR1SX is not supported, because of Windows system limitation. • (For Mac Users Only) If the system has a built-in firewire port, the system can be booted up from the SCSI device( ie. HDD) through the FR1SX

2.Installation Follow the steps through to connect the FR1SX to a SCSI device 2-1.Connecting the FR1SX to a SCSI device Terminator Fig. 3 1. Make sure if the SCSI device is turned OFF before connecting the FR1SX. Connect the FR1SX to a SCSI device, as Fig.3 shows. If the SCSI connector is different, you can use an optional adapter. Regarding optional adapters, refer to Chapter 8. 5
Краткое содержание страницы № 10
2. Make sure that the SCSI ID of the SCSI device is set properly. It must be from 0 to 6. ID 7 is reserved for the FR1SX. SCSI ID is usually set with a switch on the back of the SCSI device. For more information how to set SCSI ID, refer to the SCSI device’s manual. 3. Attach an active terminator to the SCSI device, as Fig.3 shows. If the SCSI device has an internal terminator instead of external terminator, it must be enabled. 4. Turn ON the SCSI device and check if the green LED on the FR1SX i

2-2. Repeater function The FR1SX works as a Firewire repeater as Fig.5 shows. It extends the distance between one Firewire device and another Firewire device up to 9m (30 feet). In this case, an optional AC adapter is required to supply power. Regarding optional items, refer to Chapter 8. AC adapter Jack OPTIONAL AC adapter Fig. 5 8

3. How to check if device is working If the SCSI device is not recognized: Double check followings. 1. Is green LED on the FR1SX lit? If not, refer to Chapter 8. 2. Is terminator attached to the SCSI device properly? 3. Is SCSI ID of the SCSI device set properly? ( Must be 0 - 6 ) Try following sequence, too. 1. Unplug the firewire cable from the FR1SX or the computer. 2. Turn off the SCSI device. 3. If an optional AC adapter is used, unplug the AC adapter from the FR1SX. 4. Turn on the SCSI dev

If the SCSI device is still not recognized: If you are using Windows system, go to Chapter 3-1 If you are using Mac OS X system, go to Chapter 3-2 If you are using Mac OS 9 system, go to Chapter 3-3 3-1. Windows system If the SCSI device is a mass storage device like a hard drive or a removable drive, go to Chapter 3-1-1. If the SCSI device is not a mass storage device like a scanner device or a tape drive, go to Chapter 3-1-2. 10

3-1-1. Mass Storage Device ( ie. hard drive, removable drive ) Mass storage device with the FR1SX should be recognized by the system automatically. On the device manager, the hard drive with the FR1SX is recog- nized as follows. If the hard drive or the media in the removable drive is formatted properly, it will be mounted. It can be seen in “MY Computer”. If the hard drive is still not recognized by the system, refer to Chapter 4. 11

3-1-2. Scanner device, Tape drive, CD/DVD burner, etc. If the device driver of the SCSI device(ie. scanner, tape drive etc.) is not in- cluded in Windows or sometimes even if the driver is included, the New Hardware Wizard requires the device driver for “RATOC System_Inc. IEEE1394-SCSI-3 IEEE1394 SBP2 Device”. 12

If the New Hardware Wizard doesn’t appear, but there is a yellow ‘!’ point on “RATOC System_Inc. IEEE1394-SCSI-3 IEEE1394 SBP2 Device” on the Device Manager, the driver of the SCSI device needs to be installed. (To open the device manager: Go to “Start” - Right click on “My Computer” - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager button.) 13

Following is an example of Windows2000/Xp how to find and install the driver of the SCSI device. If the New Hardware Wizard requires the driver, Start from [B]. If there is a yellow ‘!’ point on the "RATOC System_Inc. IEEE1394-SCSI-3 IEEE1394 SBP2 Device" on the device manager, Start from [A]. [A] On the device manager: 1. Double click on "RATOC System_Inc. IEEE1394-SCSI-3 IEEE1394 SBP2 Device" to open "Properties". 2. Click on "Update Driver..." button on the Driver tab. New Hardware Wizard wil
