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 SE drives.
7 The two SE drives to be internally daisy-chained, and
connected to the changer using the accessory SE SCSI
cable.
(This type of configuration requires an additional SE SCSI cable
for connection to the SE SCSI host adapter.)
In the event that three or more SE drives are to be used, the
changer is to be connected to an LVD host adapter, an LVD
drive is to be installed, or in cases when multiple SCSI buses
are to be used to increase data transmission speed, optional
devices will be necessary in accordance with the specific
configuration planned.
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. 188 (DRM-7000) or p.
189 (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:
¶ Type, number, and install position of drives
The DRM-7000/3000 uses an SE SCSI interface. When
the changer is connected to an LVD SCSI host adapter, or
when a DVD-R7783 using an LVD SCSI interface is installed
on the same bus as the changer, it is necessary to install
an LVD SCSI interface unit (DRM-ULV16).
Also, an additional power unit is required when nine or
more drives are to be installed on a single DRM-7000
changer.
¶ Type and install position of connector panel
Different connector panels are available for use with LVD
drives (internal daisy-chain connection) and SE drives
(internal daisy-chain connection and direct drive
connection).
¶ Cable connection method from connector panel to each
drive
¶ SCSI ID assignment
Multiple drives on the same SCSI bus must not have
identical ID.
¶ SCSI terminator setting
<SE SCSI bus>
The terminating switch for the drive or changer at the end
of the SCSI bus should be set to ON.
<LVD SCSI bus>
When DVD-R7783 and DRM-ULV16 are installed, it is
necessary to terminate the LVD SCSI bus.
Since the DVD-R7783 is not provided with a SCSI
terminator, an optional terminator must be purchased, or
the attached SCSI terminator (LVD) of DRM-ULV16 should
be used to provide LVD SCSI bus termination.
For SCSI connection refer to the "SCSI Connection Manual"
or consult your dealer.

En
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
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.
