Handling the Disk Drive
For details on hard disk handling, refer also to the
instructions that accompanied your hard disk.
● Before performing any of the following actions, be
sure to perform the shutdown procedure. Failure to
do so may result in loss of song data or damage to
the hard disk.
• Turning off the power of the VS-880EX
• Turning off the power of the Zip drive connected
with SCSI connector
• Removing a disk from a Zip drive connected with
SCSI connector
Shutdown (Appendices p. 124)
When the VS-880EX MIDI/DISK indicator or Zip
drive status indicator is lit, it means that data is being
written to or from the hard disk. If you are using a Zip
drive, confirm that this indicator is not lit before
removing disks.
● While using the VS-880EX, be careful not to subject
the unit to vibration or shock, and avoid moving the
unit while the power is turned on.
● Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area
free from vibration. If the unit must be installed at
an angle, be sure the installation does not exceed
the permissible range.
● Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been
moved to a location with a level of humidity that is
greatly different than its former location. Rapid
changes in the environment can cause condensation
to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect
the operation of the drive and/or damage remov-
able disks. When the unit has been moved, allow it
to become accustomed to the new environment
(allow a few hours) before operating it.
