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.

• 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.)

■ 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.

Chapter 3 Using the Disk Unit

Inserting a Disk Cartridge

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.

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.

To use Side A, insert the

disk with “A” facing

upward.

Press the POWER switch

14 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.

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.

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.

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

The disk unit is designed to be used in the

horizontal position. Do not position it at an angle.

■ 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:

• High humidity

• High temperatures

• Direct sunlight

• Dust

• Strong vibration

•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.

16 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.

■ 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

Chapter 4 Precautions 17

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.

Cleaning

DATA PROTECT

switch

Make it a practice to leave the write protection

enabled when you do not foresee the need to

write on the disk.

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.

■ 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.

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.
