SMO-F551 / RMO-S551 Installation Guide
Installation Procedure on DOS and Windows3.1
Requirements:
1. SCSI host adapter
SCSI host adapter controls the command and data transfer between MO drive and host
computer. (Ex. AHA-2940, AHA-3940 of Adaptec)
2. Device driver
Device driver controls MO drive. Device driver is almost supplied with SCSI host
TM
adapter. If you use RMO-S551, we recommend to use the “Formatter One Pro
bundled with RMO-S551.
”
3. SCSI cable
SCSI cable is used for connecting host adapter and MO drive. Please select proper
SCSI cable.
4. Format utility software
Format utility software is used to format the media and make partitions. Format utility
software is often supplied with SCSI host adapter. (e.g. ASPI manager and ASPI driver
for AHA-29xx are provided from Adaptec) But if you use RMO-S551, we recommend to
use the “Formatter One Pro TM” bundled with RMO-S551.
Installation:
1) Connection
- Set the SCSI host adapter into the host computer.
- Attach the MO drive to the SCSI host adapter using proper SCSI cable.
- Set proper SCSI ID and termination on the MO drive.
2) Install the device driver
- Turn on the MO drive and host computer.
- Install the device driver on DOS level or on Windows3.1 and reboot host computer.
3) Format the media and partition
- Format and Label the media using a format utility tool, such as “Formatter One Pro TM”.

Solaris 2.3, Solaris 2.4, Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6
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.
2) Login
- Turn on the MO drive and the host computer.
- Login as root or be a super user with “su” command.
3) Format and partition
To make a disk accessible, perform the following three command:
- ‘format’: using to format media.
- ‘newfs’: using to make file system.
- ‘mount’: using to mount media.
Create a ‘format.dat’ file prior to issuing the ‘format’ command
4) Edit “format.dat” file
- add following configuration to the “format.dat”.

Test equipment:
The following procedure was confirmed with the following system and drive combination:
Host:
OS:
Target:
PC-UNIX_SCO
UnixWare 2.1, UnixWare 7
RMO-S551
Installation:
1) Hardware Installation
- Attach the drive to the system using a SCSI cable.
- Set proper SCSI ID and termination.
- Set proper Functional Switch.
Note: Device type; Direct Memory Access Device Placing a jumper socket over
the desired pair of pins A10/B10 turn "Direct Memory Access Device" function ON.
(Please refer to Page 17-20 of Technical Guide for SMO-F551.)
- Turn on the drive and insert the media.
2) Turn on the power of the host system
3) To use "diskadd" command to mount the disk on the system
Note: The "diskadd" command is the type of conversation command. So it
asks you some questions of to need the information under operation. Please
refer to the online manual of UNIX_SCO on detail.
4) To unmount disk on the system
Note: It needs to operate the "unmount " before the eject of MO media.
