Installation

2Connect 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.

3Connect 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.
