Pioneer DE-7001 manual 2

PRODUCT INFORMATION BULLETIN No. PB _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _-0198

The 7000 series drives have two BUSY LEDs. One is labeled RW for Rewritable and the other is labeled WO for WORM.

When the drive is in Mode 0 (Rewritable), WO is OFF and RW blinks when no disk in inserted. If WO is blinking, the drive detects the presence of a WORM disk. If RW is ON, the disk detects a rewritable disk.

When the drive is in Mode 1 (WORM), RW is OFF and WO blinks when no disk in inserted. If RW is blinking, the drive detects a rewritable disk. If WO is ON, the drive detects a WORM disk.

DE-H7101 Series

The DE-H7101 series includes the DE-UH7101 and DE-SH7101 models. The DE-UH7101 is an internal 5.25-inch half-height multifunction optical disk drive. The DE-SH7101 is an external half-height multifunction optical disk drive subsystem. Both use the media types DEC-702 magneto-optical disk and DEC-502AWORM optical disk.

The DE-H7101 series optical drives fit into industry standard 5.25-inch half-height drive bays. They conform to ISO 9171 and ISO 10089 (Format B) standards for true Write Once and Rewritable media and are compatible with DE-7001 series multifunction drives. The DE-H7101 series support SCSI-2.

The 7101 series drives must be set to Mode 0 or Mode 2 when using Rewritable media and to Mode 1 or Mode 2 when using WORM media. The drives must be set to Mode 2 when used as a SCSI-2 device. The drive mode is determined by the settings of the dip switch bits 4 and 5. The dip switch is located on the rear of the drives.

NOTE: The DE-UH7101 has jumper settings instead of a dip switch. The jumper is set by shorting the pins. Pins 7 and 8 correspond to bits 4 and 5, respectively.

NOTE: The bit settings are read by the controller at Power ON and RESET. If the settings of the bits have changed, the unit must be reset or turned OFF and then ON before the new setting will take place. IMPORTANT: You should only change the bit settings when power to the device is OFF.
