JULIANS FAQs
Welcome to Richer Sounds! Whether youre coming to us for the rst time or have been shopping with us for years, Id like to thank you for visiting us and hope that we can satisfy your requirements on this occasion. HOW LONG HAS RICHER SOUNDS BEEN AROUND? I opened my rst shop at London Bridge in 1978, when I was 19, and Richer Sounds has therefore been successfully trading for some 29 years. According to the Guinness Book of Records (last 16 years), Richer Sounds has the highest sales per sq ft of any retailer in the world. WHAT HAPPENS IF PRODUCTS GO WRONG? Simply return your purchase to your nearest branch (plasma/LCD over 30 - customers contact the Call Centre on 1230 to arrange repair). If the item is less than a month old, you can get a full refund or exchange it (whichever you prefer). If its been longer than this (but less than a year), Richer Sounds engineers will repair it for you free of charge. Excludes styli, abuse and excessive wear n tear, e.g. commercial use. Statutory rights not affected. WE TRY HARD BUT WERE ONLY HUMAN! Due to recent changes in government legislation, my lawyers tell me that it is necessary to employ human beings in our stores (!)

Although I think they are the best youll nd, please dont expect the impossible. I hope that my colleagues and I get it right at least 99% of the time, but even if we do (and were still trying to improve), that means that out of the million customers we serve a year, a few are bound to be disappointed in one way or another. For the sake of future customers as much as yourself, we need to know if weve gone wrong. Please help us. All receipts include a short questionnaire that we beg you to ll in, because, if weve done something wrong we cant put it right if we dont know about it. I insist on seeing every one (youll notice theyre addressed to me personally, postage paid), and if youre disappointed in any way, well do our best to make you happy!

SCSI Terminology

It is important to understand some SCSI basics before adding drives to an MX-2424. The first step in this understanding is familiarity with a few simple terms.
Stands for Small Computer System Interface. This is the data transfer method and physical connection used by the MX-2424 for connection to hard drives and backup solutions.

Throughput

This is the amount of data transferred from one device/component to another in a specified time period.

8-Bit Data Transfer

This refers to data transfer between a SCSI device and the MX-2424s processors and supports throughput of up to 20Mbytes/second. This should not be confused with the term 24-bit audio which refers to the resolution of recorded audio.

16-Bit Data Transfer

This refers to data transfer between a SCSI device and the MX-2424s processors and supports throughput of up to 80Mbytes/second. This should not be confused with the term 24-bit audio which refers to the resolution of recorded audio.

Ultra SCSI (Narrow)

This type of SCSI device uses 8-bit data transfers and generally employs a 50-pin connector. An example of such a device would be the DVD-GF2050 DVD-RAM drive, offered by TASCAM as a backup solution for the MX-2424.

Ultra Wide SCSI

This type of SCSI device uses 16-bit data transfers and generally employs a 68-pin connector.

LVD (Wide Ultra2 SCSI)

Stands for Low Voltage Differential (also known as Ultra2 SCSI). This is the particular type of SCSI protocol used by the MX-2424. LVD SCSI uses 16-bit data transfers and employs a High Density or Very High Density 68-pin connector. This allows throughput of 80 Mbytes/second. Low Voltage Differential (LVD) works by sending simultaneous pairs of data in a balanced configuration. Just like a balanced audio signal, the noise is rejected when the signals are summed. Because of noise rejection, the bus can operate at higher speeds and longer cable lengths. The MX provides Ultra2/LVD performance on the internal and external bus.

SCSI Terminator

This is a special device that must be attached to the last device in a SCSI chain for the system to function.

SCSI ID

This is a number that is set on each SCSI device in a SCSI chain, which identifies that device to the MX2424.

SCSI Cables/Terminators

There is a considerable difference in quality and performance of cables used to connect SCSI devices. Low quality cables may cause data transmission errors, file corruption and system malfunctions. It is important to always use high quality SCSI cables & terminators such as those available from TASCAM listed below for use with TASCAM distributed external drive enclosures. SCSI-MX2: SCSI-MX3: SCSI-MXT: 3 68-pin High Density to 68-pin Very High Density SCSI cable for connecting the MX2424 to an External Drive Case. 1.5 68-pin Very High Density SCSI cable for connecting External Drive Cases to each other. 68-pin Very High Density LVD/SE terminator for use with an External Drive Case.

For information on the Storcase Isolator board for the Ultra 2 and Ultra 160 Data Express frames please contact Storcase at (800) 435-0642
Compatibility Considerations
Systems that use single-ended wide receiving frames will not function reliably with Ultra 2 and Ultra 160 carriers, thus the DE100i-CSW/B carrier should be chosen when the widest possible compatibility is required. The U160 Frame/Repeater board combination will accept SE Wide, Ultra 2 or Ultra 160 carriers. Ultra 160 Data Express models that include the isolator board on the frame (S20A100 frame & carrier, black, or S20A101 frame, black), should be used for maximum compatibility & reliability. Please refer to the Compatibility Chart below:

Mounting/Un-Mounting Drive in Removable Carriers
When drives are installed in StorCase carrrier/frames, the MX-2424 can mount and un-mount removable drives without required a system reboot. Remember to un-mount (SHIFT+MOUNT) before removing any StorCase carriers from the MX-2424 to avoid data corruption and system errors. To re-mount the drive carrier, lock it and press the MOUNT key. Note that Rhino Jr. and Data Express systems are not cross compatible.

External Drive Cases

The following StorCase external drive cases are approved for use with the MX-2424:

Data Silo DS-100

Single Bay: Dual Bay: DS100-1-160/B DS100-2-160/B
Additional recommended sources for external drive enclosures:

Glyph Technology

www.glyphtech.com
Note on High Density and Very High Density 68-Pin External Connectors
There are two types of 68-Pin SCSI cables and terminators available for use with LVD devices: High Density (HD) and Very High Density 68-Pin (VHDCI). The MX-2424 has a standard HD connector located on the back of the unit. However, by using a HD to VHDCI SCSI cable, it may attach to external devices with VHDCI connectors. Before configuring your system, verify the type of 68-Pin devices you wish to connect to.

SCSI Rules

There are a few rules that must be considered when connecting SCSI devices to the MX-2424: 1. Narrow (8-bit) devices connected externally to the MX-2424 must be connected at the end of the SCSI chain. 2. Narrow (8-bit) devices may be installed in the front panel bay of the MX-2424 with the proper adapter (ADP-9053). 3. Only Approved SCSI devices should be connected to the MX-2424 in approved configurations. For a list of currently approved SCSI devices check the TASCAM web site at http://www.tascam.com. This list will be updated as needed. 4. A SCSI chain must always be properly terminated. 5. Each device in a SCSI chain must have its own unique SCSI ID number.

MX-2424 with standard internal hard drive and three hard drives connected in external 68-pin cases.
MX-2424 with internal hard drive removed/disconnected and four hard drives connected externally in 68-pin cases.

SCSI Cable Length

The total cable length of a SCSI chain includes the internal cabling in the MX-2424 itself, all carriers and drive bays connected and the cable used to connect between any external drive cases. The MX-2424 supports a maximum cable length of 6 feet. This maximum length, however, is dependent on the quality of the SCSI cables in a chain.

Number of SCSI Devices

The MX-2424 is capable of supporting up to seven SCSI device IDs. However, the total number of SCSI devices is dependent on a number of factors. The MX-2424 will function reliably with up to a maximum of four SCSI devices connected at one time as shown in the preceding diagrams.

*The MX-2424 has its own SCSI ID assigned to it. The Max Number of SCSI Devices refers to internal devices, external devices and the MX-2424 itself. The internal drive in the MX-2424 is assigned at the factory to use ID 0.
Note: A different SCSI ID number (1-6 on a device connected externally or in the front bay of the MX-2424) must be assigned to each device. Improper ID setting will cause the MX-2424 to freeze while mounting devices. Please refer to drive documentation for directions on setting the device ID.

Proper Termination

A terminator provides electrical circuitry at the end of a SCSI chain to prevent the reflection of electrical signals when they reach the end of the chain. The SCSI bus requires termination only at the end of the SCSI chain. The MX-2424 includes an internal terminator as standard, which should not be removed. There are several types of SCSI Termination for use with external devices. Only the specified types of terminators described below should be used with the MX-2424. When a SCSI chain consists of LVD devices The MX-2424 must use an LVD/SE Terminator on the last device. When a SCSI chain contains single ended wide or narrow SCSI devices, the MX-2424 must use an active terminator on the last device. All 16-bit drives should be configured to supply Term Power to the bus (usually default setting). This configuration is usually a jumper setting. Please refer to drive documentation for directions on installing this jumper setting. All connection and disconnection of SCSI devices/cables/terminators must be done with all power off.
