DECIDING ON SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION
Before installing or using the changer, the first thing which
has to be done is to decide what components you should
install to where of the changer.
The connector panel and SCSI cables which come with the
DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are prepared on the assumption of the
following system configuration:
7 Two drives
7 Both drives will be connected internally with multi drive
connector panel and the provided changer/drive SCSI cable
is used to connect the drive SCSI ports to the changer
SCSI ports
(Note that it is also necessary to purchase another SCSI cable
to connect the changer to the host computer when the DRM-
7000/DRM-3000 is to be used in the above configuration.)
If you wish to install three or more drives or to use more than
one SCSI bus to increase data transfer speeds, it will be
necessary to purchase additional connector panels and SCSI
cables.
To determine what additional equipment must be purchased
in order to create a desired configuration, it is recommended
that you first decide where drives are to be installed and
consult the configuration sheet on p. 225 (DRM-7000) or p.
226 (DRM-3000) before actually trying to configure your
system.
Before actually beginning to configure your changer system,
it is absolutely necessary that the following items be
determined:
¶ The types and numbers of drives to be installed and where
they are to be installed. (An additional power unit is
necessary when installing 9 or more drives on the DRM-
7000).
¶ The positions where connector panels are to be attached.
(Note that the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 comes equipped with
a multi drive connector panel and if you need single drive
connector panels you must purchase them.)
¶ The SCSI IDs to be assigned to each of the drives to be
installed. (Note that it is impossible to assign the same
SCSI ID to two or more drives on the same SCSI bus.)
¶ The connecting plan of the cables running between
individual drives and connector panels.
¶ Which drives are to be terminated (i.e., the drive's
termination switch of the terminal drive in each SCSI chain
is to be turned on).
An example of how SCSI cables should be connected is
shown on p. 19.
The power unit provided as standard equipment is capable
of supplying power to rear bays #1 – 8. The total power
consumed by these eight drives should not exceed the
following:
DC +5 V 12 A or less
DC +12 V 8 A or less
The maximum current capacity of a single connector is as
follows:
DC +5 V Max 4 A
DC +12 V Max 4 A
8
<DRC1184>
En
By adding an optional expansion power unit to the DRM-
7000, power can be supplied to rear bays #9 – 16.
The maximum power consumption of these upper bays
and the maximum amount of power which may be supplied
over a single connector is the same as that of the lower
bays (i.e., Bay #1 – Bay #8).
NOTE:
¶ Be sure never to use any add-on products other than
Pioneer products.
¶ When turning off the power and turning it back on,
always be sure to allow an interval of 10 seconds or
more to elapse after turning off the power before turning
it back on. Note that this must be done because there
are times when the power is not switched off
immediately even after the power switched has been
flipped off when few drives have been installed in the
changer.

ADD-ON PRODUCTS

The following components may be purchased separately for
use with the Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 in order to adapt
it for use in configuring a system to your own specifications.
The maximum number of optional components that can be
installed differs depending on the component involved; for
details, consult the operating instructions for your option
components.
50-disc magazine
Used to store discs within the changer, these magazines
come in both normal and locked types which can be installed
in whatever combination best fits your needs.
¶ 50-disc magazine (locked-type)
[DRM-AL751]
These disc magazines are designed so that the lock is not
released even when a magazine is removed from a
changer. Therefore the mailslot is necessary to insert discs
into these magazines or remove discs from them. These
magazines are extremely effective for use in situations
where they are used in combination with a host computer
which supports offline media management. (See p. 7 for
further details.)
