Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview Features The RMO-S561 Magneto-Optical Disk Unit has the following features:

• Magneto-optical technology enables repeated writing and erasing of data on the disk.
• The disk unit automatically senses the type of disk being inserted, enabling the free use of both 650 Mbytes (594 Mbytes), 1.3 Gbytes (1.2 Gbytes), 2.6 Gbytes (2.3 Gbytes), 5.2 Gbytes (4.8 Gbytes, 4.1 Gbytes), and 9.1 Gbytes (8.6 Gbytes) disks indifferently.
• A maximum of 9.1 Gbytes (4,096 bytes/sector),

8.6 Gbytes (2,048 bytes/sector), 9.1 Gbytes

(1,024 bytes/sector), or 9.1 Gbytes (512 bytes/ sector) of data can be written on the two sides of a 5.25-inch magneto-optical disk. This is equivalent to about 6100–6500 times the capacity of a conventional 3.5-inch floppy disk (2HD).

• Any disk conforming to the internationally accepted CCS (continuous/composite servo) or CCW (continuous composite write-once) format can be used in this disk unit.

Chapter 1 Introduction

• This disk unit employs SCSI-2 (Small Computer System Interface-2).
• The 3,000 min-1 (rpm) high-speed spindle motor enables data transfer rates of

3.07 – 6.14 Mbytes/s (4,096 bytes/sector),

2.87 – 5.84 Mbytes/s (2,048 bytes/sector),

3.07 – 6.14 Mbytes/s (1,024 bytes/sector), or

3.07 – 6.14 Mbytes/s (512 bytes/sector).

• With disk capacities under 5.2 Gbytes (4.8 Gbytes, 4.1 Gbytes), the spindle motor rotates at 3300 min-1 (rpm).
• With disk capacities under 2.6 Gbytes (2.3 Gbytes), the spindle motor rotates at 3600 min-1 (rpm).
• The low-profile, light-weight optical pick-up yields average seek times of 25ms.
• Use of a highly reliable error correction code (ECC) system keeps the error rate as low as 10-12.
• Optimum operation environment is provided through use of a large, 8MB buffer and optimized cache control algorithm. (Write cache can be enabled or disabled. For details, see “Setting the Disk Unit’s Functions” on page 12.)

Be sure to turn off the power before making any changes. Pushing the “+” button raises the ID number; pushing the “–” button lowers the ID number.

• Make sure to select a SCSI ID that has not been assigned to another SCSI device.

• The disk unit will not operate properly unless the SCSI ID has been set correctly.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

Setting the Disk Unit’s Functions Use function switches (A – H) on the rear panel to select the disk unit’s functions in accordance with the host computer and software you are using. Be sure to turn off the power before setting the switches.

■ Write Cache Precautions This disk unit is equipped with a write cache function. When the write cache is enabled, never turn off the disk unit power without making sure that all data has been written to the disk from the cache memory. Data will be lost if you turn off the power before all data in cache memory has been written to the disk. Before turning off the disk unit power, be sure to eject the disk, as this writes data from cache memory to the disk. Further, even though the drive will periodically flush data from cache memory periodically to the disk, data may be lost in the case of a power failure. ■ Ultra SCSI Precautions Using the Ultra SCSI function requires that an Ultra SCSI cable be used to connect the disk unit and the host system. It is recommended that the cumulative cable length be minimized, and that the cable length be kept under 3 m in length when connecting up to four SCSI peripheral devices. In all other cases, the total length of the cable should not exceed 1.5 m. Further, the SCSI bus termination should be well maintained. ■ Precautions for Handling the 1024 and 512 bytes/sector Note that this drive uses a sector size of 4096 bytes/sector. If you insert a disk with a sector size of 1024 or 512 bytes/sector, the drive internally converts the sector size of software to emulate a sector size of 4096 bytes/sector. Further, data already written to the disk may be lost if the power is accidentally turned off while data is being written to the disk. Be careful when operating the power switch.

• CWO-9100B (4,096 bytes/sector, 9.1 Gbytes )
• CWO-8600B (2,048 bytes/sector, 8.6 Gbytes)
• CWO-5200B (2,048 bytes/sector, 5.2 Gbytes )
• CWO-4800B (1,024 bytes/sector, 4.8 Gbytes)
• CWO-4100B (512 bytes/sector, 4.1 Gbytes)
• CWO-2600B (1,024 bytes/sector, 2.6 Gbytes )
• CWO-2300B (512 bytes/sector, 2.3 Gbytes) 2 Start up the host computer. Refer to the manual supplied with the host computer for the start up procedure. 3 Insert a disk cartridge with the side you want to use facing upwards. To use Side A, insert the disk with “A” facing upward. 1 Press the POWER switch located on the left side of the front panel. This turns on the disk unit and causes the POWER indicator to light up. 4 Access or write data on the disk using software commands on the host computer. The BUSY indicator lights up while the unit is accessing the disk. ■ What to do if the disk unit stops operating When the temperature in the disk unit exceeds the preset level, the BUSY indicator starts flashing on and off at about 2-seconds intervals, regardless of whether or not a disk is being accessed, and the disk unit stops operating. If this happens, you should improve the ventilation of a setting area. If the disk unit still refuses to operate, unplug the unit and contact your dealer.

Chapter 3 Using the Disk Unit

Ejecting a Disk Cartridge Eject the disk cartridge either by using software commands or by pressing the EJECT button. When you cannot eject the disk cartridge using the EJECT button or software commands, remove it as follows. 1 Turn off the disk unit if the power is still on. 2 Insert the emergency eject tool (or a paper clip) straight into the emergency eject hole to trip the manual ejection mechanism. EJECT button Note Do not attempt to eject a disk cartridge while the BUSY indicator is lit orange (except when it is flashing at about 2-second intervals due to overheating). Ejecting the disk while it is being accessed may cause data write errors or may result in loss of data. Also, it may take a few moments (up to 45 seconds) for the disk to eject when the write cache is enabled, because data in the cache must first be written to the disk. ■ What to do if the disk does not eject The disk cartridge may not come out, even when you press the EJECT button or use a software command, under the following conditions:

• The eject function has been disabled using the function switch or a software command;
• The host computer is not functioning properly;
• The disk unit has been turned off (due to a power failure, etc.); or
• Something is wrong with your disk unit itself.

Chapter 3 Using the Disk Unit

Emergency eject Tool Insert into the emergency eject hole. This should cause the disk cartridge to eject. Caution The tip of the emergency eject tool is sharp. When handling the tool, please be careful to avoid injury.

Chapter 4 Precautions

On the Disk Unit Safety Considerations ■ Power supply

• Be sure to use 100 - 240V AC.
• Do not share the AC outlet with any other power-consuming equipment such as copying machines or shredders. ■ AC power cord
• Be careful not to place or drop heavy object on the power cord, or subject it to anything that may damage it.
• When unplugging the cord from an AC outlet, be sure to grasp the plug itself. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to the internal wiring.
• Unplug the unit when not using it for long period of time. ■ Handling the emergency eject tool The tip of the emergency eject tool is sharp. When handling the tool, please be careful to avoid injury. Do not use the tool for any purpose other than ejecting disks. Damage Prevention ■ Do not subject the disk unit to shock or vibration Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may damage the disk unit. ■ Setting position ■ Location requirements Careful consideration should be given to the following in selecting a site to install or store your disk unit. Avoid the following conditions:
• Wide temperature fluctuations ■ Ventilation Care should be exercised to prevent the internal mechanisms of the disk unit from overheating. Be careful not to clog or block the vent, or place the unit in an area with poor ventilation. The disk unit may stop operating altogether if the internal temperature becomes too high. ■ Condensation Avoid subjecting the disk unit to extremes in temperature. If, for example, the disk unit is moved suddenly from a very cold location to a warm one, moisture from condensation may form within the unit due to the quick rise in ambient temperature. If a sudden change in the temperature cannot be avoided, wait for an hour or more before using the disk unit. Inserting a disk cartridge into the mechanism when moisture is present may cause damage to both the disk and the disk unit. Remove the disk cartridge immediately if you suspect any condensation problems. The moisture should evaporate quickly if the disk unit is left on without a disk inserted. The disk unit is designed to be used in the horizontal position. Do not position it at an angle.

Chapter 4 Precautions

■ Moving the disk unit Be sure to remove the disk cartridge when the disk unit is not being used. Also never move or transport the unit with the disk cartridge still inserted. While in operation, the disk rotates at a high speed. Moving the disk unit at such a time may disturb the spinning disk and cause it to be damaged. Always remove the disk cartridge before moving your disk unit. ■ If problems occur If any problems occur, turn off the power and unplug the disk unit, contact your dealer. Other Points Requiring Attention ■ Electrical noise The high-frequency signal generated by the disk unit may cause interference or static on other electrical appliances such as radios, televisions and audio tuners. If this should occur, move the disk unit a little farther away from the affected appliance. ■ Maintenance Clean the cabinet with a dry soft cloth, or with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish. On the Disk Cartridges

• Do not drop the disk cartridge or subject it to any violent shocks or vibration.
• Do not disassemble the disk cartridge. It is a precision component and has been carefully adjusted at the factory prior to shipment.
• Do not open the disk cartridge’s shutter manually or touch the disk inside. The shutter is designed to open automatically when the cartridge is inserted into the disk unit.
• Do not use the cartridge under ambient conditions of high humidity or wide temperature fluctuations. Moisture from condensation may make it impossible to read or write data.
• Avoid inserting and ejecting the disk cartridge more than is necessary.
• Always eject and remove the disk cartridge from the disk unit after using it.

Chapter 4 Precautions

■ Storing disk cartridges

• Store the disk cartridges in their cases.
• Do not leave the cartridges exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, like on the dashboard or in the glove compartment of an automobile. Do not store the disk cartridges under the following conditions. – Excessive dust and debris – Exposure to direct sunlight – Near a heat source – High humidity Protecting Your Data The magneto-optical disk cartridges are equipped with a DATA PROTECT switch (red tab) to prevent accidental erasure of data on the disk or inadvertent writing of unwanted data. Slide this switch in the direction of the arrow as illustrated below to enable the write protect function. You can still read the data contained on the disk, but will not be allowed to write on or erase the disk. Return the switch to its original position to disable the write protect. Make it a practice to leave the write protection enabled when you do not foresee the need to write on the disk. Cleaning Cleaning a Disk Dust and stains may accumulate on MO disks when they are used for a long period of time. To avoid resultant data read/write errors, use an optional disk cleaner. To maintain the high performance and prolong the useful life of your MO disk, cleaning at least once every three months is recommended. Attention In the disk unit, preventive measures are taken to guard against dust. It is unnecessary to clean the optical lens of your disk unit. Using a lens cleaning cartridge may damage the disk unit. ■ Disk cleaning accessories Use the following Sony disk cleaning kit or disk cleaner (sold separately).
• MOA-D51 Disk Cleaning Kit Do not use any other type of disk cleaner as it may cause data read/write errors due to the differences in disk surface characteristics. For cleaning instructions, refer to the manual supplied with each cleaning accessory.
