USING DYNAMO 6
DIP Switch Settings
The DIP switch settings on your DynaMO are the recommended
settings for the USB configuration.
DP1 – Device type mode (Default Setting:off)
This switch configures the DynaMO as either an optical storage
device or a removable hard disk drive device.
DP2 – Automatic spindle stop mode (Default Setting: on)
When this setting is on, the drive automatically stops the disk to
save power when not in use.
DP3 – Write cache mode (Default Setting: on)
The DynaMO has 2 MB internal cache. Best write performance
can be achieved by the default setting (on). If you use your
DynaMO drive in harsh areas, or areas with large amounts of
dust, this switch can be set to (off).
DP4 – SCSI Terminator mode (Default Setting: on)
For USB, this switch should always be on.
For Windows® 2000, you must set the SCSI ID setting to zero.
Dos and Don’ts
■ Never turn your DynaMO over while in use.
■ Always ensure that the busy indicator light is off before turning
the power off.
■ Remove the MO disk before transporting your DynaMO.
■ Never force a disk into the drive or insert an MO disk upside
down as this may damage the drive.
■ Since a floppy disk is about the same size as an MO disk, be
careful to never insert a floppy disk into the DynaMO drive.
■ Use only ISO-compliant or GIGAMO 3.5-inch MO disks.
■ Do not use your DynaMO in areas where dust, dirt, extreme
temperatures or moisture is present.
■ Do not connect any additional devices to the DynaMO drive.
■ Never connect or disconnect the USB cable from the back of
the DynaMO while the drive power is on.
