FLEXIBLE UNIT DESIGN  
EASE OF INSTALLATION  
The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000-disc changer is designed  
so that a variety of different components may be purchased  
and installed together to meet a variety of different needs.  
The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 comes with bays (i.e.,  
spaces for the installation of drives or 50-disc magazines)  
located at the front and rear of the unit, and the bays are  
fitted with access doors that are designed to open widely  
and enable you to install or remove individual components  
with ease.  
In order to connect the changer to an existing data  
management system or to build a new data management  
system, it is necessary for the host computer to be able to  
properly identify the changer and all the drives contained  
therein and it is necessary to attach all the cables and specify  
the settings needed for the host computer to control the  
changer and drives.  
The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed not only to  
make it easy to install and add new drives, but also with a  
wide range of features designed to make it easier to specify  
host computer settings.  
The front bay is for exclusive use with 50-disc magazines;  
the rear bay has been designed as a multi-purpose installation  
area:

SECURITY FEATURES DESIGNED TO  
PREVENT ERRONEOUS OR  
UNAUTHORIZED OPERATIONS  
In order to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes occurring  
between manual operations and computer-based operations,  
entering procedure to the system administrator mode is  
introduced. Anyone who wants to perform operations from  
the control panel is required to enter system administrator  
mode first, using the provided lock release key. And it is  
possible to prevent the switchover to some sub-modes by  
issuing a command from the host computer.

It is also possible to assign security privileges on the system  
administrator who has the lock release key. Then operations  
directly manipulating discs, like opening mailslot and ejecting  
hyper magazine, are permitted to only the system  
administrator.

CONTROL PANEL FITTED WITH AN LCD  
MESSAGE WINDOW FOR EASE OF USE  
If desired, you can start with empty bay spaces and add  
devices to them as your requirements increase.  
The control panel is fitted with a 2-line, 16-column LCD  
message window which is used to display instructions on  
the proper operations to perform. And this makes it possible  
to perform any of the wide variety of different operations  
provided by the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 with only 5 keys.  
THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISC  
MAGAZINES EQUIPPED WITH INTERNAL  
MEMORY  
Pioneer provides three different types of disc magazines  
designed for convenience and ease of use in different  
applications.  
20-disc hyper magazine:  
The main feature of the hyper magazine is its mobility. It  
can be inserted and removed without opening the access  
door. Another feature is a smart memory system that  
records all user operations toward its lock/unlock  
mechanism. One hyper magazine is provided as a standard  
equipment with each Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000.  
50-disc magazine (locked-type):  
This model is perfect for managing offline media where  
the security and unchangeableness may be required. Built-  
in locking mechanism makes it impossible to remove discs  
from magazine whenever it is outside the changer.  
50-disc magazine (normal-type):  
This model is convenient for importing or exporting large  
volumes of discs into or from the changer. You can insert  
discs into or remove them from a magazine releasing the  
locking mechanism by a knob fitted with this magazine  
when it is outside the changer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS  
INSTALLATION  
FOR SAFETY  
Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.  
Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the  
following:  
÷ Do not install the unit on any unsteady platform or desk,  
etc., as the unit is tall and heavy.  
÷ Do not stack the units or do not place a heavy object on  
the unit. It is extremely dangerous to do this, because the  
objects may fall off or the unit may topple over. (Any  
damage or injury suffered as a result of such installation is  
the sole responsibility of the user. )  
1 Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater  
2 High humidity or dust  
3 Proximity to bathroom or kitchen  
4 Exposure to spotlight  
5 Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a  
refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.  
6 Uneven or unsteady installation surface.  
(If the surface is not flat, first put down a hard plate or  
similar support so that the system is installed level.)  
7 Difficulty of service and maintenance.  
÷ Attach the placement fixtures first after unpacking the  
changer. If it is moved before they are attached, there  
is a danger of it toppling over or of the cables on the  
rear being damaged.  
÷ Always be sure not to insert your hand into the 20-  
disc hyper magazine bay or not to touch any parts  
inside of the bay when the power has been turned on,  
otherwise it may result in bodily injury.  
If the changer is to be installed next to a wall, a minimum of  
at least 50 cm of space must be provided between the back  
of the changer and the wall.  
÷ The Changer can accommodate only the discs with a  
diameter of 12cm (5in). As the Changer detects the  
presence of disc with optical detection of the position at  
about 5mm (3/16in) inside the external periphery of the  
12cm (5in) disc, the use of a disc which is transparent at  
the corresponding position or a 8cm (3in) disc may lead to  
disc detection error and to the disc damage in the worst  
case. Also, the use of a 8cm disc adapter is strictly  
prohibited.  
÷ For safety reasons, the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed  
so that the access doors cannot be opened while the  
changer mechanism or internal drives are in operation.  
÷ The high speed rotation of discs or the operation of the  
high speed disc transport mechanism in the DRM-7000/  
DRM-3000 causes slight vibrations and noise, but this does  
not indicate a problem. And it does not effect the  
performance of the changer.  
Avoid placing objects directly on the changer.  
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS  
÷ Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint, etc.,  
on the signal surface, or recording surface of the discs.  
The specified playback performance or recording  
performance may not be obtained with such discs.  
÷ Do not insert more than one disc in a mailslot, otherwise  
malfunction will result.  
÷ The Changer does not manage the disc contents. The data  
should be managed by involving the host.  
÷ Use only recording discs recommended by Pioneer. The  
specified recording performance or playback performance  
may not be obtained if a non-recommended disc is used.  
Please note that the data recorded on discs is not covered  
by our warranty.  
CONDENSATION  
÷ Pioneer may not be held liable for the loss of any data or  
any other direct or indirect damage suffered as the result  
of the use or breakdown of this product. It is strongly  
recommended that regular backups be taken of all critical  
data.  
÷ Please be careful not to lose the lock release keys provided  
with your DRM-7000/DRM-3000, otherwise you could not  
manage your changer any more. The lock release key  
certifies you as a system administrator and gives you a  
privilege to open access doors, to eject a hyper magazine  
and to use a mailslot.  
If the temperature difference between the changer and  
environment is too large, water will condense in the changer  
and the system may not provide proper performance. For  
example, if you bring the changer into a warm room from  
outside in cold weather, or if you increase room temperature  
abruptly, condensation may result. If condensation occurs,  
leave the changer for one hour in the room, or increase room  
temperature gradually before using it.  
CLEANING THE CHANGER  
To clean the panel and the cover, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe  
off dust and dirt. If the cabinet is heavily soiled, wipe off the  
dirt using a soft cloth soaked with neutral detergent diluted 5  
to 6 times. Then wipe the water off with a dry cloth. Do not  
use benzine, thinner, insecticide or similar volatile chemicals,  
as they may dissolve or discolor the cabinet surface. If you  
use a chemical polishing cloth, carefully read the instructions  
supplied with it.  
POWER-CORD CAUTION  
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug  
by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when  
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or an  
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture,  
etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a  
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords  
should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped  
on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an  
electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When  
you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized  
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

<DRC1184>  
En  
READ BEFORE USE  
All of the discs within an inserted magazine become  
available immediately no matter which magazine bay it is  
inserted into as long as the discs installed in the magazine  
have been registered in the database as corresponding to  
the magazine ID in question, and the same holds true when  
a magazine is inserted into a different changer as long as  
the changer in which it is inserted is under the control of  
the same database.  
SECURITY FEATURES  
Information on the location of discs within the changer and  
information to access data on discs are strictly monitored  
and controlled from the changer control software and the  
upper-level database management software.  
Because of this, if any changes in the status of the discs  
within the changer occur at a time when the changer is not  
under the control of the host computer (or in a network  
environment, under the control of a server), it becomes  
impossible to control the changer and drives and to read  
necessary files from discs.  
Allowing discs stored within the changer to be removed  
without any restrictions poses a security risk, not only in that  
it would become impossible to access discs which have been  
removed but also in that it might lead to the damage or loss  
of discs.  
Disc magazines designed for easy tracking and control  
Removing, inserting or replacing discs in magazines after  
they have been removed from a changer may destroy the  
correspondence between discs and magazine IDs.  
To solve this problem, Pioneer provides 50-disc magazine  
which has a locking mechanism to prevent all attempt to  
change the status of the magazine outside the changer  
and hyper magazine which has a smart memory system  
that records all user operations toward its lock/unlock  
mechanism so as to make it easier to track and control  
the use of offline media.  
Although the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has been designed so  
as to open the front and rear access doors from the control  
panel (located at the top of the front of the unit) to remove  
magazines or to insert or remove discs through the mailslots,  
anyone who considers the security issues noted above will  
be able to understood that it is necessary to place restrictions  
on such operations.  
Registration of changer ID  
When a disc magazine has been inserted into a changer  
not under the control of the database management  
software or into a changer belonging to another system,  
the discs within that magazine may be rewritten or may  
be replaced with other discs within that changer. Even if  
the magazine in question is a locked-type, these  
discrepancies between the discs actually contained within  
the magazine and the information on those discs stored in  
the database may be arise.  
In order to prevent such problems from occurring, disc  
magazines are designed to record the ID of the changer in  
which they are used, and as long as the database has a  
list of the IDs of changers controlled under the given  
database, it is possible for the database management  
software to determine whether or not a inserted disc  
magazine has to be reinstalled by checking the changer  
ID that may be read with the magazine ID.  
This is why the control panel of the DRM-7000/DRM-3000  
has been fitted with a key switch which may be locked to  
disable operations of control keys. This switch cannot be  
unlocked without the key provided with the DRM-7000/DRM-  
3000, and if the system administrator will always keep this  
key, it is impossible that ordinary users without key perform  
unauthorized operations from the control panel.  
It is also possible to restrict the range of operations which  
are performed from the control panel. It means that a part of  
system administrators privileges is controlled by the  
command issued from the host computer and even if a  
system administrator has the key, the host computer makes  
it impossible to open the access doors, exchange discs, or  
perform other unfavorable operations for itself.  
However although the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 changer and  
disc magazines do provide the features needed for the  
management of offline media, it should be noted that the  
actual procedures and methods available for the management  
of offline media may differ depending on the database  
management software and changer control software being  
used.  
OFFLINE MEDIA MANAGEMENT  
The DRM-7000/DRM-3000 provides the following features  
which makes it perfect for the management of offline media.  
It should further be noted that it is necessary to establish  
how to employ controls for the handling of offline media. In  
fact if management controls are strict enough, it is even  
possible to use normal-type disc magazines which would  
ordinarily be unsuited for use in the management of offline  
media, in the same way as one would use locked-type disc  
magazines.  
Removable disc magazines  
Disc magazines may be removed from the changer with  
the discs left in the magazines. The use efficiency of the  
space within the changer may much improve if the  
infrequently used discs are collected in one magazine and  
it is taken out from the changer into the offline storage.  
Unique disc magazine IDs  
All disc magazines used in the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are  
assigned unique ID codes which makes it possible to  
identify individual magazines simply by inserting them into  
the magazine bays.

Read before use  
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).  
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.  
NOTE:  
The connector panel and SCSI cables which come with the  
DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are prepared on the assumption of the  
following system configuration:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.)  
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]  
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 drives  
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:  
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.)

INSTALLATION  
3. Lock the casters  
STEP 1  
Four casters at the bottom of DRM-7000/DRM-3000 allow it  
to be moved lightly but they must be locked soon if you place  
the changer on the chosen location. A caster is locked by  
lowering its lever.  
1. Attach the base stabilizers.  
To prevent the unit from falling over, be sure to attach the  
accessory base stabilizers. The DRM-7000 is provided with  
four stabilizers (one at each corner), and the DRM3000 is  
provided with two (rear corners only).  
Lock  
Base stabilizer  
4. Connect power cord  
Insert the power cord into the power inlet on the rear of the  
changer and then insert the plug into a wall power outlet.  
NOTES:  
Be sure to attach the base stabilizers before doing anything  
else.  
Note that the base stabilizers also serve to protect the  
ports and cables on the rear of the unit.  
Note that any damage incurred as a result of the unit falling  
over or any damage caused to the rear ports or cables as  
a result of a failure to install the base stabilizers will not be  
covered under warranty.  
In the case of the DRM-3000, be sure to attach the  
stabilizers only to the rear corners of the unit.  
2. Deciding on the location where the changer is  
to be installed  
The changer is designed with a rear access door which can  
be opened in inserting or removing drives or disc magazines,  
and the location where the changer is to be installed should  
be chosen so as to allow a minimum of 50cm of space  
between the rear of the changer and the nearest wall so as  
to leave enough room to open the rear access door and insert  
or remove drives or disc magazines.  
NOTE:  
Always be sure to use only the power cord supplied with  
your changer.  
Also be sure to follow the instructions on the label on the  
package and use only that cord designed for use in the  
location in which the power cord is to be used.

Installation  
3. Installing drive units  
STEP 2  
No tools are required for attaching drive units. Note that while  
drives may be installed in any of the rear bays from #1 – #8,  
the location of the connector panel that has been attached at  
the time of shipment had been designed for drives to be  
installed in bays #1 and #2.  
Readying the changer for operation  
In order to ready the changer for operation, perform the  
following steps in the order indicated.  
1. Turning on the power (see p. 17)  
2. Loosening the shipping screws (see p. 17)  
3. Installing drive units (see p. 17)  
1. Attaching add-on connector panels, if necessary  
4. Connecting SCSI cables (see p. 18)  
5. Inserting disc magazines (see p. 20)  
6. Closing access doors (see p. 23)  
Screwdriver  
1. Turning on the power  
When the power is first turned on, both the front and rear  
access doors will automatically open. This is not a faulty  
operation but the function of the shipping screws tightened  
at the time of shipping or re-transporting.  
NOTES:  
Be sure not to close neither the front nor rear access door  
until all drives and disc magazines have been installed.  
If the door does not open when the power is turned on,  
wait until the initialization routine has completed and the  
LCD shows the user mode display (p. 23), then refer to p.  
37 ("System Administrator Mode: Door Sub-mode") for  
instructions on opening the door.  
2. Attaching drive units  
Before installation, be sure to specify the following settings  
at the rear of each drive to be installed. (See the operating  
instructions provided with drive for details.)  
SCSI ID assignment  
2. Loosening the shipping screws  
When the front access door is opened, shipping screws may  
be seen at near the bottom inside the changer. These screws  
are attached to prevent damage to the built-in mechanism of  
the changer during transporting.  
Shipping screws are designed so that they can only be  
loosened and cannot be removed so as to prevent their  
Specify the SCSI IDs to be used so as to ensure that the  
same SCSI ID is not assigned by more than one drive on  
the same SCSI bus.  
Termination  
Set the termination switch of the last drive in the SCSI  
chain to the ON position.  
1 When inserting a drive, be sure to place the drive on the  
changer guide rails and push the drive in until the lock  
lever on the drive shifts to the locked position. Maybe you  
can hear a clicking sound then.

NOTES:  
Be sure to tighten again the shipping screws before re-  
transporting the changer.  
If you or someone close the front or the rear access door  
with the shipping screws loosened, the closed door can  
not open automatically like before. And when the both  
doors are closed, the changer starts its mechanical  
initialization. So if you have not finished the installation  
yet, it is necessary to open the access doors again to  
continue with installation. (See System administrator  
mode: Door submodes on p. 37 for further information.)

NOTES:  
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.  
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.  
Power cable  
4. Connecting SCSI cables  
After installing all drives and checking to make sure that they  
have been properly connected, install the SCSI interface  
cables.  
Wiring monitor indicator  
Termination indicator  
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.  
3 Connect the changer interface cable.  
When the changer interface cable has been connected,  
the wiring monitor indicators will flash at two-second  
intervals.  
Wiring monitor indicator  
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.  
Changer interface cable  
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.  
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.

Installation  
6. Closing access doors  
First check to make sure that all components have been  
installed into place and all cables have been connected.  
If this has been done, close the front and the rear access  
doors, then the initialization of the changer mechanism will  
begin.  
When initialization has been completed, a message like that  
shown below will be displayed on the LCD message window.  
The first line of this message is used to indicate the status of  
the disc changer mechanism, and the second line is used to  
indicate the installed drive number and to indicate whether  
or not a disc has been loaded into the drive in question.  
Drive numbers are assigned in sequence from the lowermost  
to the uppermost drive.  
NOTE:  
If the maximum number of drives appears on the LCD  
message window is shorter than the number of drives  
installed, open the rear access door and check the power  
cables and the changer interface cables to all drives installed.  
(See System administrator mode: Door submodes on p. 37  
for information on how to open the rear access door.)

En  
OPERATION  
The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has two operation modes.  
One is user mode performing the computer-based operations  
and the other is system administrator mode mainly performing  
manual operations from the control panel. By dividing the  
admitted operations into these two modes, it becomes  
possible to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes  
occurring between operations performed from the control  
panel and commands issued by the host computer.  
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR MODE  
The privilege to perform operations from the control panel is  
given to the system administrator who keeps lock release  
keys. Note that the following steps must be performed in  
order to switch to system administrator mode.  
1. Insert lock release key into the key switch located on the  
control panel and rotate 90 degrees to shift the switch to  
UNLOCK position.  
USER MODE  
ESC  
ENT  
Once a changer has been finished its power on initialization  
or closing doors after installation, it will enter user mode and  
it will become able to be controlled by the changer control  
software and database management software running on the  
host computer. When a changer is running normally in user  
mode, the LCD message window will display a series of the  
following status messages in one-second intervals.

When the changer enters system administrator mode, a  
message like that shown below will be displayed on the LCD  
message window:  
System administrator mode is further divided into 8 different  
submodes.  
Information submodes  
These submodes enable the system administrator to read a  
changer’s current settings or read data stored within a  
changer. Note that these submodes do not affect the  
operations performed by the host computer and the system  
administrator can obtain a variety of information without  
interfering with the control of the changer from the host  
computer.  
Inquiry submode (see p. 26)  
Config submode (see p. 26)  
Option submode (see p. 28)  
Info submode (see p. 32)  
When operating in user mode, the changer will operate in  
accordance with commands issued by the host computer.  
Maintenance submodes  
These submodes are used to maintain discs and their status  
within the changer. Sometimes these submodes may use  
the disc transport mechanism. Therefore whenever the  
changer enter any one of these submodes, some commands  
issued by the host computer may be ignored.

Some changer functions may be selected at user request. In  
order to allow system administrators to make the most of  
the features provided by changer control software and  
database management software, optional functions may be

security levels or operations performed at the time of errors  
may also change depending on the location in which the  
changer has been installed, and that options should be  
selected accordingly.  
Press the ENT key  
Press the | key to set to ON  
Option submode may be used to specify the following optional  
functions.  
Press the ENT key  
1. Auto probing (Set OFF at the time of shipment)  
2. Hot start (Set OFF at the time of shipment)  
3. Auto eject (Set ON at the time of shipment)  
4. Hyper I/E (Set ON at the time of shipment)  
5. Alert buzzer (Set ON at the time of shipment)  
6. Free message (Set OFF at the time of shipment)  
(Note that an “Auto probing is prohibited” message will  
be displayed if auto probing is set to OFF.)  
Note that even after switching auto probing function from  
OFF to ON, auto probing will not actually be performed until  
a reset is performed, a hyper magazine is inserted or the  
mechanism initialization is finished after access doors are  
closed.  
When auto probing begins, the changer will begin to check  
whether all slots of the disc magazines to be checked in  
sequence to determine whether they are “empty” or “full”.  
1. Auto probing  
It is possible that discs have been inserted into normal-type  
50-disc magazines and hyper magazines before these  
magazines are inserted into the changer. But it does not mean  
that these imported discs are ready to use because the  
changer and the host computer have not recognized yet which  
slot holds a disc or not. Therefore the first thing to do is  
examining which slot a disc is in, that is called probing.  
While this probing function is usually performed by the  
changer control software running on the host computer, in  
cases where users wish to perform this before connecting  
the changer to the host computer or in cases where the  
changer control software being used does not support such  
probing function, probe submode (see p. 36) may be used  
instead. Using probe submode, however, may be  
inconvenient since it requires that all of the disc magazines  
to be checked be specified one by one.  
To turn auto probing temporarily off, turn the key switch to  
UNLOCK position and press the ESC key.  
NOTES:  
It takes approximately 2 minutes to check a 50-disc  
magazine.  
Some commands from the host computer cannot be  
executed while auto probing is being performed.  
Auto probing may be used to have the changer automatically  
check all disc magazines which need to be checked to  
determine whether or not discs have been inserted.  
28  
<DRC1184>  
En  
Operation  
2. Hot start  
3. Auto eject  
When discs have been transported to drives and the power  
to the changer is turned off and then the power to the changer  
is turned back on, then the discs will be automatically returned  
to their original slots. (Note that this automatic disc return  
operation is not performed after a SCSI bus reset.)  
For discs which are accessed frequently, however, it is  
possible to use the hot start feature to make those discs  
accessible immediately after power is turned on by leaving  
the discs in the drives which had used them.  
In network environments there are often times when  
changers are installed near servers far from the locations in  
which user terminals are located.  
In environments such as these, when a user uses the changer  
control software to issue a command requesting a disc within  
a changer be removed through a mailslot, it is necessary for  
the user to go to the location where the changer in question  
has been installed in order to remove the disc, but before the  
user reaches the changer the mailslot in which the disc has  
been transported may already have been opened.  
This may be convenient for some cases, however, unless a  
system administrator resides near the changer it is as if there  
were no security at all, and the same holds true of the ejection  
of a hyper magazine.  
Hot start function is an optional function and it enables to  
leave discs on the drives that had been using when the power  
is turning on.  
This is the reason why it has been made possible to turn OFF  
auto eject function. Placing restrictions on the automatic  
ejection of mailslot tray and on the automatic ejection of a  
hyper magazine, makes it possible to maintain a certain level  
of security.  
Press the ENT key  
Press the | key to set to ON  
Press the ENT key  
Press the ENT key  
Press the \ key to set to OFF  
(Note that a Hot start is prohibitedmessage will be  
displayed if hot start function is set to OFF.)  
Press the ENT key  
NOTE:  
Hot start function cannot be used when the changer control  
software is designed so as to force discs to be returned to  
their original slots.  
(Note that a Auto eject is activatedmessage will be  
displayed if auto ejection function is set to ON.)  
If auto eject function is set to OFF and a command is issued  
from the host computer causing a disc to be carried to a  
mailslot, the mailslot tray will not automatically open, and  
instead a message like the following will be displayed on the  
LCD message window.  
29  
<DRC1184>  
En  
Operation  
Similarly, the hyper magazine will not be automatically ejected  
even when an eject command is received from the host  
computer, and instead like the following will be displayed on  
the LCD message window.  
Press the ENT key  
To press the ENT key to cause the tray of the mailslot or the  
hyper magazine to be ejected, it is necessary for the key  
switch to be in UNLOCK position. Since the tray of the mailslot  
or the hyper magazine will not be ejected until a user with a  
lock release key goes to the place where the changer in  
question is installed and switches the key switch to UNLOCK  
position, security is ensured during the interval between the  
time a command is issued and the time the user actually  
reaches the changer.  
Press the \ key to set to OFF  
Press the ENT key  
4. Hyper I/E  
While a hyper magazine is designed to be used as a disc  
magazine capable of accommodating 20-discs at a time, since  
it is also allowed to be removed without opening access doors  
a hyper magazine can also be used as a high-capacity mailslot.  
(Note that a Hyper I/E is activatedmessage will be  
displayed if hyper I/E function is set to ON.)  
The subsystems which make up SCSI changers may be  
divided into the following four types of elements:  
1. Media transport element (i.e., robotics)  
2. Storage elements (i.e., slots)  
NOTE:  
Since hyper magazines retain their attributes as storage  
elements even when hyper I/E function is set to ON, the  
changer control software may not treat a hyper magazine as  
an import/export element.  
However, hyper I/E function should always be set to OFF  
when the changer control software being used does not  
recognize the use of multiple import/export elements or when  
there is a danger of erroneous operations being performed.  
3. Import/export element (i.e., mailslot)  
4. Data transfer elements (i.e., drives)  
Although slots (which are provided by disc magazines) and  
mailslot are usually defined as different elements, by turning  
ON hyper I/E function it becomes possible to control a hyper  
magazine in the same way as mailslot.

En  
Operation  
5. Alert buzzer  
6. Free message  
Control panel of the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is equipped with  
a buzzer which is designed to sound at designated times.  
When discs are to be inserted or removed in accordance with  
instructions from the host computer, messages will be  
displayed on the LCD message window indicating the next  
operation which must be performed.  
When the rear access door is opened and a drive is being  
inserted:  
Since it is difficult to monitor progress from the LCD  
message window while inserting a drive from the rear  
access door, the buzzer sounds to provide an indication  
that operation is proceeding without problem.  
When the keys on the control panel are disabled:  
The buzzer will sound while the FUNCTION key is being  
pressed.  
For example, when a disc is to be inserted or removed from  
a mailslot (i.e., when auto eject function has been turned  
OFF), the following message will be displayed.  
While the messages displayed on the LCD message window  
up until this point are the same whether a disc is being  
inserted or removed, since all operations after the mailslot  
has been opened are performed in accordance with  
instructions from the host computer, the changer LCD  
message window cannot display messages adequately.  
Note that the in these cases above the buzzer will sound  
to provide a message to the operator in response to his/  
her input, and for this reason these buzzer cannot be turned  
off.  
When a problem occurs with the changer:  
When a problem occurs with the changer, the buzzer will  
continue to sound until the operator presses one of the  
keys on the control panel.  
By setting free message function ON, however, it becomes  
possible to have the messages displayed on the LCD  
message window overwritten by messages sent from the  
host computer, and it becomes possible to display instructions  
as the host computer wants to be done. It is also possible to  
display other information such as the name of the application  
controlling the changer, warning messages indicating that a  
disc is being written, and other information which the host  
computer possesses.  
If in this case messages on the LCD message window or  
warning messages on the screen of the host computer  
are sufficient, this alert buzzer may be turned OFF.

key is pressed if there is no slot confirmed empty.)  
When the ENT key is pressed, the changer will check to  
see if any hyper magazine discs are currently used in drives.  
If there are such discs currently in drives, the following  
message will be displayed.  
The mailslot tray will open and the following message will  
be displayed.  
It is the host computer possessing the authority to return  
discs in drives to disc magazines. Therefore, if you wish  
to eject the hyper magazine right now, you must return to  
user mode first and issue a command requesting the discs  
be returned from the host computer.  
Place the new disc in the tray and press the ENT key.  
The tray will close, the following message will be displayed,  
and the disc will be carried to the specified slot.

En  
Operation  
If you wish to replace hyper magazines, insert the new hyper  
magazine. Note that the hyper magazine will be automatically  
loaded once it has been partway inserted, and that you should  
be careful not to add excessive force when inserting a  
magazine.  
Probe submode  
It is possible that discs have been inserted into normal-type  
50-disc magazines and hyper magazines before these  
magazines are inserted into the changer. But it does not mean  
that these imported discs are ready to use because the  
changer and the host computer have not recognized yet which  
slot holds a disc or not.  
Probe submode is used to examine which slot a disc is in.  
While this probing function is usually performed by the  
changer control software running on the host computer, in  
cases where users wish to perform this before connecting  
the changer to the host computer or in cases where the  
changer control software being used does not support such  
probing function, probe submode may be used instead.  
When the hyper magazine has been loaded, a unique  
magazine ID will be displayed together with the record of the  
locking mechanism.  
When there are no records of the lock ever having been  
unlocked, the message displayed will be as follows.  
If you press the ENT key at this point, the magazine bay  
numbers into which magazines have been loaded will be  
displayed in sequence.  
When there are records of the lock having been unlocked,  
the message displayed will be as follows.  
Press the » or « key to select a disc magazine and press  
the ENT key to confirm your selection. The changer will  
examine each of the slots within the disc magazine in  
sequence to check whether or not a disc has been inserted.  
Note that the magazine will be automatically ejected if the  
changer is unable to read the magazine ID, and that if this  
happens you should try inserting the magazine again.

Operation  
Probe submode may also be used to examine which slot of  
the hyper magazine a disc is in, in the same manner as for  
50-disc magazines.  
Door submode  
This mode is used to open the access doors to swap 50-disc  
magazines, to swap or add drives.  
Note that once probe submode has been used to perform a  
check on a given disc magazine, there is no need to ever  
check again for the presence or absence of discs in that  
magazine as long as that magazine is not removed from the  
changer.  
Note that it is necessary to make sure that all discs within  
the changer have been returned to their disc magazines or  
mailslot. Otherwise neither of the access doors can be  
opened.  
This may be done by the system administrator, who should  
first check the status of the drives from the host computer  
before halting service and returning all discs.  
When the ENT key is pressed, the changer will check to  
see if any discs are currently used in drives. If there are  
any discs in drives, the following message will be displayed.  
If this message is displayed, press the ESC key to return  
to user mode and issue a command requesting the discs  
be returned from the host computer.  
When it has been confirmed that there are no discs in  
drives, the following message will be displayed. Move the  
cursor to specify the access door(s) to be opened.  
Pressing the ENT key will cause the specified access  
door(s) to be opened.  
NOTE:  
When either of the access doors is opened, the system will  
automatically return to user mode. To enter a different

How to add a drive  
ADDING DRIVE UNITS  
1. Enter system administrator mode and enter door  
submode to open the rear access door.  
The following message will be displayed on the LCD  
message window.  
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.  
2. Attach add-on connector panels, if necessary  
Warning about static electricity  
Screwdriver  
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.  
3. Place the drive on the changer guide rails, push the  
drive in until the lock lever on the drive shifts to the  
locked position. Maybe you can hear a clicking sound  
then.

4. Connect the power cable.  
NOTES:  
If it is difficult to work, the SCSI interface cables of other  
drives should be disconnected before continuing.  
When the power cable has been connected, the wiring  
monitor indicator on the rear of the drive (orange) will  
light up.  
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.  
When the termination switch of the drive is set to on,  
the termination indicator (green) will light up.  
7. Connect the SCSI interface cable.  
If you have disconnected the SCSI interface cables of any  
other drives in Step 4, be sure to remember to reconnect  
those cables.

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.  
6. The changer will then read the drive’s SCSI ID and  
compare the drive’s settings to those of existing drives.  
If all drives have been assigned different SCSI IDs, a
