“4-8. Flash ROM” (page 17). The SCSI ID to be connected to the FD-8 must be selected to 0 ~ 5. The SCSI ID “6” is used for backing up purpose exclusively. The SCSI ID “7” cannot be used by technical reasons.
Connect a SCSI device, insert the diskette formatted by the FD-8 and turn the power of SCSI device on. After confirming that the access LED on the SCSI device is lit and then goes out, turn on the power of FD-8.

(2, 4, 6, 8 and R) channels indicate the left and right input level of S/P DIF digital signal fed to the DATA INPUT jack respectively. If the FD-8 is not in a normal condition, “DIGITAL” will blink and the bargraph meter will not indicate any level. FD-8...

To execute this test, press the EXECUTE/YES key while “?” is blinking. If the FD-8 is in a normal condition, all the segments on the LCD display will be lit solid and all the LEDs on the top panel will start blinking.

Plug the EPROMs into the sockets. Turn on the power of FD-8. In this condition, the FD-8 is booted up using the system software inside the EPROMs. The next procedures to take are as follows. Put the FD-8 into the Service Mode, select “FlashROM” and press EXECUTE/YES key. (“SURE?” is blinking.) Press the EXECUTE/YES key one more time to copy the system software from EPROMs to Flash ROM.

This mode is used to check the condition of the diskette : blinking inserted into an external SCSI drive connected to the FD-8 or the internal E-IDE hard disk drive. (As mentioned before, the SCSI drive has a priority unless the SCSI ID is set to “6”.)
The chart below indicates the error code number and corresponding description. Since the error code list is basically designed for our engineers to improve the software, the description is quite technical. If you find the FD-8 with one of the error codes displayed, we encourage you to update the software first.
• 8 x screws (P 3 x 5 CZn) Installing Procedures Loosen 17 x screws (BBT 3 x 8 BZn) fixing the FD-8 Top Panel section to the Bottom Panel section. Remove the following cables from the connectors on the MAIN PCB assy.

Not like the FD-4 MAIN PCB assy, the E-IDE 50-pin connector J12 and 2-pin cable between W1 and W5 have already been mounted and soldered. So, it is not necessary to remove the FD-8 MAIN PCB assy when installing a 2.5” E-IDE hard disk drive.
