Page 3: Scsi Terminology
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. SCSI 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. -
Page 4: Scsi Cables/Terminators
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. -

Removable “Hot-Swappable” SCSI Solutions The following “hot-swappable” StorCase SCSI Carrier/Frame Systems are approved for use with the MX-2424 when configured according to the diagrams on the following pages: Rhino Jr. System Frame & Carrier: RJR100-SW/B RJR100-SWU2X/B Carrier Only: RJR100-CSW/B RJR100-CSWU2X/B Ultra 160 Data Express System Frame &... -
Page 7: Mounting/Un-Mounting Drive In Removable Carriers
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. -

Page 9: Scsi Rules
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 This list will be updated as needed. - Page 10 MX-2424 with standard internal hard drive and single ended backup device (DVD-RAM or Travan) in MX-2424 with standard internal hard drive and single ended backup device (DVD-RAM or Travan) in MX-2424 with standard internal hard drive and single ended backup device (DVD-RAM or Travan) in the front bay.

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. -
Page 15: Proper Termination
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.
