Target: RMO-S551

- device type is set to 0

- 512 byte/sector media is used.

Since the SCSI driver “sd” which comes with the SUN’s UNIX system is for device type 0

(hard disk drive, in general), the cases with device type 7 or 1024 bytes/sector media are

not supported.

Installation:

1) Connection

- Set the SCSI host adapter into the host computer using proper SCSI cable.

- Set proper SCSI ID on the MO drive.

- Set proper termination.

- Set the Device Type 0.
