Operation

ADDING DRIVE UNITS

Any drive designed for use in the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 changer can easily be added as a new drive.

The power unit provided as standard equipment is designed to provide sufficient electrical capacity to support up to 8 drives mounted in rear bays #1 to #8. When adding additional drives to the rear bays #9 – #16 of the model DRM-7000, however, an optional additional power unit is required.

Warning about static electricity

Always be sure never to touch the contacts or ports of any connectors when installing additional drives or any other type of add-on equipment. Also be sure to touch a metallic surface on the changer before beginning the adding operations.

NOTES:

¶When disconnecting drive cables that had been connected before to make the work easier, always be sure to disconnect those cables in the following order (i.e., the opposite order from that in which they are connected):

1.SCSI interface cable

2.Changer interface cable

3.Power cable

¶If you wish to add a drive to a SCSI bus where the termination for an existing drive has been turned on, the termination for the new drive to be added must be turned on and the termination for the existing drive turned off.
