Power ON/OFF Power ON/OFF This section explains the correct procedures for powering up and powering down your equipment. Power ON Important Speakers or amplifiers should be switched on last to protect against unexpected sound surges that may damage your equipment. Procedure 1. Switch on power to external MIDI and SCSI devices. • When powering up MIDI devices, it is generally good practice (although not strictly necessary) to switch on the transmitting-side device first. • If you are switching on a SCSI disk or CD-ROM drive, allow the drive a few seconds to get up to speed before proceeding to Step 2. 2. Switch on the power to the A3000. (Press the POWER switch on the front panel.) 3. Switch on power to speakers and other audio devices. Power OFF Important • Like other samplers, the A3000 stores all new data into main memory only, and will lose all of this data when you switch off the power. You must therefore save all important data to disk before turning the A3000 off. • Speakers or amplifiers should be switched off first to protect against unexpected sound surges that may damage your equipment. 30 Chapter 1 Setting Up
