Installation

2 Connect the power cable.

¶ When the power cable has been connected, the wiring

monitor indicator on the rear of the drive (orange) will
light up.

¶ When the termination switch of the drive is set to on,

the termination indicator (green) will light up.

3 Connect the changer interface cable.

¶ When the changer interface cable has been connected,

the wiring monitor indicators will flash at two-second
intervals.

NOTE:
Connect the changer interface cable to the connector
corresponding to the bay in which the drives have been
installed. (Note that labels are affixed to connectors indicating
the corresponding bay number.) Note that it is extremely
important to do this, as connecting the changer interface cable
to a neighboring bay will result in damage to discs and the
disc transport mechanism.

3. Reading and self-checking the installed drive’s SCSI

ID by the changer
¶ If all drives have been assigned different SCSI IDs, a

buzzer will sound once.

¶ If the same SCSI ID has been assigned to two or more

drives, a buzzer will sound three times.

NOTES:
¶ If installed drives are to be connected to different SCSI

buses, then the same SCSI ID assigned to each of the
drives may be all right.

¶ Even if none of the drives installed within a changer has

been assigned the same SCSI ID, it is necessary to check
that the same SCSI ID is not assigned to other devices
(e.g., hard disks) on the same SCSI bus.

4. Connecting SCSI cables

After installing all drives and checking to make sure that they
have been properly connected, install the SCSI interface
cables.

NOTES:
¶ Maximum usable SCSI cables length is 6 meters (including

length of wiring inside changer). If the SCSI cable has extra
unused connectors, connect the final (end) connector to
the terminating drive; the extra intermediate connectors
may be left unconnected if not required. (See page 19,
"SCSI Cable Connection Example").

¶ When installing 7 or more drives or when creating multi

SCSI buses system for 6 drives or less, additional multi
drive connector panels or single drive connector panels
will be required.

¶ When connecting the changer to a host computer, always

be sure to first turn off the power to both the changer and
the host computer. After the connections are finished, turn
on the power to the changer before turning the power to
the host computer back on.

¶ The changer SCSI termination switch is set to ON at the

time of shipment. Always make sure that the changer SCSI
termination switch is set to OFF when the changer is not
the last device in the SCSI chain.

¶ Note that the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is unable to recognize

the existence of faulty SCSI cable connections or mistakes
in the assignment of SCSI IDs, and for this reason you
should always be sure to restart the host computer after
installation to make sure that all drive units and the changer
are properly recognized. This is the only way of confirming
that all SCSI devices are installed properly.
