26 Chapter 1
If you want to install an internal SCSI-3 drive, use the internal ribbon cable with the 68-pin
connector to connect the device to the Ultra Wide SCSI bus.
Optimizing Performance
These tips will help you to get the best from Final Cut Pro:
m When a project is finished and archived, delete all files from the disk you used to create
the project. Defragment the drive with a disk-optimizing utility. This helps prepare the
disk for the next project you work on.
m Make sure that windows displaying video are not obscured or overlapped.
m Don’t place windows so that they overlap monitors.
m Defragment disk drives regularly, especially those used for capturing.
m Store your project files on your startup disk. Store your media and rendered files on
another disk.
m Turn off virtual memory in the Memory control panel. (This is required.)
m Keep your disk cache as small as possible.
m Turn off all applications and processes that run in the background, such as networking
(which you can turn off by making AppleTalk inactive using the Chooser).
68-pin connector
Warning Do not connect any SCSI devices to the external 68-pin SCSI-3 connector or to
the internal 50-pin SCSI-2 connector on the PCI card that supports the internal hard disk.
Connecting even one external SCSI device to the external 68-pin connector extends the
overall cable length of the SCSI bus beyond the limit for which error-free operation can be
guaranteed; the combined length of the internal cable and the external cable reduces the
reliability of all the devices connected to the Ultra Wide SCSI bus. Connecting a device to
the internal 50-pin SCSI-2 connector will cause your Ultra Wide SCSI devices to transfer
data at the slower, SCSI-2 rate.
