Frequently Asked Questions - RMO-S551 SONY
What types of discs are compatible with the Sony RMO-S551?
The drive accepts the following Sony 5.25-inch magneto-optical discs: EDM-5200B (5.2 GB), EDM-4800B (4.8 GB), EDM-4100B (4.1 GB), EDM-2600B (2.6 GB), EDM-2300B (2.3 GB), as well as the corresponding write-once (WO) discs. Sector formats can be 512, 1024, or 2048 bytes.
How do I connect the drive to my computer?
Use a SCSI cable to connect the drive to the host computer. Ensure all devices are powered off before connection. If the drive is the last device on the SCSI chain, enable internal termination by setting function switch F to '1'. The total length of SCSI cables must not exceed 6 meters.
How do I eject a disc in an emergency?
1. Turn off the drive. 2. Insert the emergency ejection tool (or a paperclip) straight into the emergency ejection hole on the front panel to release the mechanism. Caution: the tool is sharp, handle with care.
What is the maximum storage capacity?
The drive can write up to 5.2 GB on a single side of a 5.25-inch magneto-optical disc (2048 bytes/sector format). Capacities of 4.8 GB, 4.1 GB, 2.6 GB, and 2.3 GB are also supported depending on format.
How do I set the SCSI address?
Use the SCSI address selector (SCSI ID) on the rear of the drive. Press '+' to increase or '-' to decrease the ID number. The factory setting is '0'. Ensure the address is not already in use by another device. Make the setting with power off.
What should I do if the BUSY indicator flashes?
If the BUSY indicator flashes at intervals of about 2 seconds, it indicates internal overheating. Improve ventilation around the drive and wait for it to cool. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
Can I use discs from other brands?
To ensure reliability, Sony recommends using only Sony 5.25-inch magneto-optical discs. Discs from other brands may not function properly due to differences in characteristics.
How do I clean the drive?
Clean the cabinet with a soft dry cloth. For discs, use the Sony MOA-D51 disc cleaning kit (sold separately). Do not use solvents like alcohol or benzene. Clean discs at least once every three months.
What are the important safety precautions?
Do not expose the drive to rain or moisture. Use only the supplied power cord, suitable for mains voltage (100-240 V). Do not open the cabinet – internal maintenance should be performed by qualified service personnel. Unplug the device during thunderstorms or if not used for a long time.
How do I enable or disable the write cache memory?
The write cache memory is set via function switch C on the rear of the drive. Position '0' (factory): cache disabled; position '1': cache enabled. When the cache is enabled, do not turn off the drive before data is written to the disc (wait for complete ejection).
