9 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 1. Introduction This is a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) command reference to control the C/DVD medium changer, the PIONEER DRM The contents of this document may be changed without any permissions for improvement. The command set for the SCSI medium changer devices had appeared at SCSI-2 first and was fixed as X After that, SCSI was broken up from a single document into different layers and command sets. The command set for medium changer devices are called SMC (SCSI-3 Medium Changer Commands), but there are no major differences between SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 as regards the medium changer devices. The DRM-7000 is designed to meet the latest working draft of SMC (NCITS T10/999D Revision 10a March 4, 1998) and SPC (SCSI-3 Primary Commands; ANSI X ). Refer those documents to have a proper understanding of any definitions, symbols, abbreviations and conventions General Information One of the main features of our new large size C/DVD medium changer DRM-7000 is its flexibility of the components configuration. A detachable disc magazine that is designed to contain fifty C/DVD media and easy handling detachable drive unit make this feature real. The number of discs and the number of drives are items which each user can choose. The PIONEER DRM-7000 provides sixteen drive bays, fifteen magazine bays and a special purpose 20-disc magazine slot. As the location for drive bays and a half of location for magazine bays are overlapped, it can handle 720 discs if a user is satisfied with two drives. And if a user would like to improve the specification as a data server, it is possible to give more space to drives up to sixteen. A 50-disc magazine (disc container) occupies as same space as two drives. So even if every drive bays are used to drive units, 370 discs are still available. Discs are held in magazines and are transported to drives by the transport robotics. The optional medium turning unit; Flip Unit is provided for double-sided DVD media. A conventional mailslot to import a disc into a changer unit from outside is equipped and a special purpose 20-disc magazine that is named Hyper Magazine is available. DRM /4/30

10 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 2. Special Features As the DRM-7000 is a successor to DRM-5004/1004 series, basic control scheme will be same. But to support and enhance its flexibility some improvements are made. Those are as follows; The new scheme for EASY CONFIGURATION The new scheme for ELEMENT STATUS MAINTENANCE A proposition for OFF-LINE MEDIA MANAGEMENT 2.1. Easy Configuration When the number of the drives in a changer increases, recognition and establishment of the relation between drives and data transfer element addresses would be complicated. Since an eight bits SCSI-bus could handle seven target devices, a changer system that has over seven drives should be connected to two or more SCSI host adapters. In the case of such multi-bus system, changer system control firmware could not recognize the whole configuration of drives within a changer unit. Therefore a HOST which controls a changer device also could not get the whole information of drives from the changer. Our new scheme for EASY CONFIGURATION is developed to solve or improve this complicated situation. But this feature should be realized in collaboration with primary devices(=drives), a medium changer and a device driver. At first our newly developed drive is designed to support a unique ID that is delivered to not only a HOST but also a changer controller. A HOST could get the unique ID from the specified drive by issuing the INQUIRY command with the EVPD bit and a special page code. See 3.5. INQUIRY and Device identification page for details. Those descriptions are written for DRM-7000 but the scheme is same for every drive of FlexLibrary series. Next required command is the READ ELEMENT STATUS that should be issued by the HOST. DRM-7000 returns the unique ID of the specified data transfer element when the DVCID bit is one. Then the HOST could establish the relation between the data transfer element address and the drive through the medium of the unique ID. This scheme is very effective for a multi-bus system and easy to adopt. And this is not a vendor-specific scheme because the DVCID bit in the READ ELEMENT STATUS command and the EVPD bit in the INQUIRY command are both optional but defined in SMC and SPC Element Status Maintenance The medium changer has a memory stack for the status of every storage elements. The status of each storage element are as follows; The storage element is (a) filled with a disc (b) empty (c) required to probe (d) missing The purpose of the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command is to reduce the number of elements in the status-(c). The status of element will change to status-(a) or status-(b) after executing the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. Note that the FULL bit of the storage element status could not indicate which status the element is in. When the FULL bit is set to one, it means that the element may be in the status-(a) or in the status-(c). And when the FULL bit is set to zero, it means that the element may be in the status-(b) or in the status-(d). Two status for each are not distinguishable by means of the FULL bit only. Of course other element status bits like EXCEPT or ACCESS and ASC/ASCQ fields could help to distinguish these status but it is somewhat complicated. But the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command has no element address field to specify a probing extent in the command descriptor block (CDB). The default extent is from 0001h (the first storage element address) to 0302h (the DRM /4/30

11 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A last storage element address). And the changer which has received this command executes the probing action whether or not those element had been probed. It shall take some minutes to probe whole elements with in a changer. That is the reason why the initialize element range (IER) page of the MODE SELECT/MODE SENSE command has been introduced to our former changer series. This vendor-specific page has a set of Starting element address and Ending element address. These element addresses given by the IER page with the MODE SELECT command eliminates the extent of elements which shall be probed by the next INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. And the element addresses returned by the IER page with the MODE SENSE command indicate the extent of elements which has been specified by the IER page with the MODE SELECT. But there was a problem. The only way to recognize which storage elements or extents of elements ought to be probe was issuing the READ ELEMENT STATUS command. The initialize required elements range (IRER) page is introduced to improve this inefficiency. The IERE page has the same page code that had been used for the IER page. Indeed, the IERE page is an extension of the former IER page. The meaning of this page with the MODE SELECT command is essentially same as the former IER page. But the meaning of this page with the MODE SENSE command becomes much more active one. The IRER page with the MODE SENSE command always indicates which extents of elements are to be probed. The status of the storage elements that are included within the extent of elements are all status-(c). As DRM-7000 adopts magazine-type storage components, usually an extent of elements will be a multiple of 50. If the page length field of the returned IRER page is 00h, it means that every storage elements which are valid in the medium changer has been probed and it does not need to execute the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. The IRER page with the MODE SELECT command specifies the extents of elements which shall be probed by the next INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. The IRER page which has been made by issuing the MODE SENSE command will be valid until the IRER page is issued with the MODE SELECT command or updated by another MODE SENSE command for this page. If the IRER page with the MODE SELECT or MODE SENSE commands has not successfully completed since the last power-on or hard reset condition, the default values of the starting element address is 0001h and the ending element address is 0302h. When the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command is issued, DRM-7000 will execute the probing movements according to the current IRER page. Note that the MODE SENSE command always rewrites the IRER page to represent current status of the storage elements within the changer. Do not try to reconfirm the result by issuing the MODE SENSE command just after the IRER page is rewritten by the MODE SELECT command. The storage element status may be changed when a Hyper Magazine is inserted or door is closed. Since the changer will get into a UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION and the HOST could sense that condition, the HOST had better use this scheme to minimize the time losses to probe storage elements in the medium changer. Recommended sequence are below; 1. When a UNIT ATTENTION is sensed, issue the IRER page with the MODE SENSE command to recognize the current element status. 2. Issue the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command to probe the initialization required elements. 3. Issue the IRER page with the MODE SENSE command to reconfirm the result of the execution of the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command Off-line Media Management Our newly designed disc magazines are intelligent. They have a unique ID for each and the changer controller could distinguish each magazines by reading that IDs. This unique ID is written on the ROM-like device. Other features are not fixed but it may be designed to help the establishment of Off-line Media Management function. See the Programmer s Guide(DS-S072) for details. DRM /4/30

13 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.1. TEST UNIT READY The TEST UNIT READY command provides a means to check if the changer is ready for access a medium. This is not a request for a self-test. If the changer would accept an appropriate medium-access command without returning CHECK CONDITION status, this command shall return a GOOD status. Higher-priority responses, like BUSY or RESERVATION CONFLICT, are also permitted. Table 3 TEST UNIT READY command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(00h) 1 Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Reserved 5 Control Byte(00h) The TEST UNIT READY command allows an initiator to poll a changer device until it is ready. After a reboot or reset, initiator shall issue the TEST UNIT READY command repeatedly until DRM-7000 returns GOOD status. If the changer cannot become operational or is in a state such that an initiator action or operator s action is required to make the unit ready, the changer returns CHECK CONDITION status with a sense key of NOT READY. Table below defines the representative responses to the REQUEST SENSE command after issuing the TEST UNIT READY command. Table 4 Representative responses to REQUEST SENSE after issuing TEST UNIT READY Sense key ASC and ASCQ Description Required action 6h (Unit Attention) import or export element is accessed send MODE SENSE is recommended 6h (Unit Attention) 2A-01 mode parameter is changed send MODE SENSE is recommended 2h (Not Ready) door is open close doors 2h (Not Ready) in the special operating mode escape that mode using the operation panel 2h (Not Ready) in process of becoming ready issue the command repeatedly 0h (No Sense) no additional sense information No, it is ready. Another important usage of the TEST UNIT READY command is to recognize how the changer is going. Polling a changer device is especially useful to check the Hyper-Magazine and door s status. These responses above especially some UNIT ATTENTION are the messages from a changer to an initiator. They might be a trigger to start the special sequences to update some element status and component configurations REZERO UNIT The REZERO UNIT command requests that the changer set the whole elements to a specific state. Table 5 REZERO UNIT command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(01h) 1 Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Reserved 5 Control Byte(00h) DRM-7000 returns every discs that has been transported to the drive even if that drive is active. Beware of the timing to issue this command when DVD-R or CD-R drives are used, otherwise the interrupted writing process may damaged the medium. The robotics will go to the initial position after disc returning actions are completed. DRM /4/30

14 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.3. REQUEST SENSE The REQUEST SENSE command requests that the changer transfer sense data to the HOST. The most popular usage of the REQUEST SENSE command is to obtain the sense data after receiving CHECK CONDITION status that is returned to the polling TEST UNIT READY commands. See the description for the TEST UNIT READY command. Table 6 REQUEST SENSE command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(03h) 1 Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Allocation length 5 Control Byte(00h) CHECK CONDITION status may occur to several execution-type command like MOVE MEDIUM, INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS and REZERO UNIT. Issuing the REQUEST SENSE command automatically after receiving CHECK CONDITION status shall be a natural way. DRM-7000 implements error code 70h (current errors) only. The next table is that sense data format. As for a medium changer device, there is no deferred error occurred and DRM-7000 does not support any vendor-specific sense data format. Table 7 SENSE DATA FORMAT FOR CURRENT ERRORS Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Valid (0) Error code (70h) 1 Segment number 2 Filemark(0) EOM(0) ILI(0) Reserved Sense key 3 (MSB) 4 Information 5 ( h) 6 (LSB) 7 Additional sense length (0Ah) 8 (MSB) 9 Command-specific information 10 ( h) 11 (LSB) 12 Additional sense code 13 Additional sense code qualifier 14 Field replaceable unit code (00h) 15 SKSV(0) 16 Sense-key specific 17 (000000h) A valid bit of zero indicates that the information field is not as defined in this International Standard. In the case of DRM-7000, this bit is always set to zero and the information fields are filled with zeros. The segment number field and the command-specific information field are always filled with zeros because DRM-7000 does not support any of the following commands; COPY, COMPARE, COPY AND VERIFY, SEARCH DATA and REASSIGN BLOCKS. The filemark bit, the end-of-medium (EOM) bit and an incorrect length indicator (ILI) are also reserved. Since DRM-7000 does not support the field replaceable unit code field and the sense-key specific field, those fields are filled with zeros and the SKSV bit is always set to zero. Therefore meaningful fields are Sense key, Additional sense code and Additional sense code qualifier. They provide a hierarchy of information. Sense keys that indicate generic information are used typically for high level error recovery procedures. Additional sense codes provide further detail describing the sense key. Additional sense code qualifiers add further detail to the additional sense code. The intention of the hierarchy is to provide a top-down approach for a HOST to determine information relating to the error and exception conditions. Sense key, Additional sense code and Additional sense code qualifier are shown in another chapter of this document. DRM /4/30

15 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.4. INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS The INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command will cause the medium changer to probe some or all elements for medium and any other status relevant to that element. The intent of this command is to enable the HOST to get a correct current status from a following READ ELEMENT STATUS command. Table 8 INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(07h) 1 Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Reserved 5 Control Byte(00h) There is no element address field to specify a probing extent in the command descriptor block (CDB). The default extent is from 0001h (the first storage element address) to 0302h (the last storage element address). This is too wide to execute at a time. Therefore the initialize required elements range page of the MODE SELECT command is prepared. See the usage of the initialize required elements range page in another chapter of this document. It is recommended that the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command should be used in accordance with the ELEMENT STATUS MENTENANCE guideline. The MODE SENSE and MODE SELECT commands are essential members for this guideline. See 2.2. ELEMENT STATUS MAINTENANCE in this document. Although DRM-7000 has a non-volatile memory device which records some status or information of the element, the changer does not use those information when it receives the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. DRM-7000 probes the whole elements that is specified as an extent. But if this command is received and media are loaded on some data transfer elements at the moment, the medium transport mechanism does not return those media to their source storage elements and executes this command. Their source storage elements are skipped. DRM /4/30

16 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.5. INQUIRY The INQUIRY command requests that information regarding parameters of the changer be sent to the HOST. Table 9 INQUIRY Command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code (12h) 1 Reserved CmdDt (0) EVPD 2 Page Code 3 Reserved 4 Allocation Length 5 Control Byte (00h) A command support data (CmdDt) bit is not supported. It must be set to zero, otherwise DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and an additional sense code of INVALID FIELD IN CDB. An enable vital product data (EVPD) bit of one specifies that DRM-7000 returns the optional vital product data specified by the page code field. DRM-7000 is our first medium changer product that supports VPD pages. If EVPD bit is zero, DRM-7000 returns the standard INQUIRY data. When the EVPD bit is one, the page code field specifies which page of vital product data information DRM-7000 returns. If the page code field is not zero when EVPD is zero, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and an additional sense code of INVALID FIELD IN CDB. STANDARD INQUIRY DATA The standard INQUIRY data contains 36 required bytes, followed by a variable number of vendor-specific parameters. The standard INQUIRY data of the DRM-7000 is 47 bytes long. See the STANDARDDINQUIRY DATA in another chapter of this document. VITAL PRODUCT DATA This model is our first medium changer which supports vital product data pages. The vital product data information is requested by setting the EVPD bit to one and specifying the page code of the desired vital product data. This model supports two page codes. One is Device identification page (83h) and another is Supported vital product data pages (00h). If the unsupported page code is requested, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and an additional sense code of INVALID FIELD IN CDB. See the VITAL PRODUCT DATA in another chapter of this document. DRM /4/30

17 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.6. MODE SELECT(6) The MODE SELECT(6) command provides a means for a HOST to specify parameters to a medium changer. It is a complementary command to the MODE SENSE(6) command. A HOST should issue MODE SENSE prior to each MODE SELECT to determine supported pages, page lengths, and other parameters. Table 10 MODE SELECT(6) command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code (15h) 1 Reserved PF Reserved SP 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Parameter List Length 5 Control Byte (00h) A page format (PF) bit of one indicates that the MODE SELECT parameters following the header and block descriptor(s) are structured as pages of related parameters and are as specified in this standard. A PF bit of zero indicates that all parameters after the block descriptors are vendor-specific. Since DRM-7000 sends the header only if a PF bit is set to zero, it is not useful. A HOST should set PF bit to one. Since DRM-7000 does not implement saved pages, a save pages (SP) bit must be set to zero. If a SP bit is set to one, the command is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and the additional sense code set to SAVING PARAMETER IS NOT SUPPORTED. The parameter list length field specifies the length in bytes of the mode parameter list that is contained in the Data-Out Buffer. The following tables are the parameter list composition for the MODE SELECT command. Table 11 Mode Parameter List Mode Sense(6) bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 Byte0-Byte3 Mode Parameter Header Byte 4- Byte n Mode Page(s) Table 12 Mode Parameter Header(6) Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Reserved 1 Medium Type (00h) 2 Device Specific Parameter (00h) 3 Block Descriptor Length (00h) Table 13 Mode Page Format Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Reserved Page Code 1 Page Length(n-1) 2-n Mode Parameters The only available mode page with the MODE SELECT command is the Initialize required elements range page. The mode parameter for this page is defined in the following clauses. See Mode Parameters.

18 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.7. RESERVE ELEMENT(6) The RESERVE and RELEASE commands provide the basic mechanism for contention resolution in multiple-initiator systems. The RESERVE command is used to reserve units or, if the element reservation option is implemented, elements within units for the use of the initiator. Table 15 RESERVE command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code (16h) 1 Reserved 3rdPty Third party device ID Element (0) 2 Reservation identification 3 (MSB) 4 Element list length (LSB) 5 Control Byte(00h) Note that DRM-7000 does not support the element reserve option. If the element bit is one, the RESERVE command is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status and the sense key is set to ILLEGAL REQUEST ( ). The element bit must be set to zero RELEASE ELEMENT(6) The RESERVE and RELEASE commands provide the basic mechanism for contention resolution in multiple-initiator systems. The RELEASE command is used to release previously reserved units, or, if the element release option is implemented, previously reserved elements within units. A reservation may only be released by the initiator that made it. It is not an error for an initiator to attempt to release a reservation that is not currently valid, or is held by another initiator. In this case, the target returns GOOD status without altering any other reservation. Table 16 RELEASE command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(17h) 1 Reserved 3rdPty Third party device ID Element (0) 2 Reservation identification 3 Reserved 4 Reserved 5 Control Byte(00h) DRM-7000 does not support the element release option. If the element bit is one, the RELEASE command is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status and the sense key is set to ILLEGAL REQUEST ( ). The element bit must be set to zero. The reservation identification field is ignored and this command causes the target to release all non-third party unit that have reserved by the same initiator before. The third-party release option of the RELEASE command allows an initiator to release a unit that was previously reserved using third-party reservation. Since DRM-7000 support the third-party release option, if the 3rdPty bit is one, the target releases the specified unit, but only if the reservation was made using the third-party reservation option by the initiator that is requesting the release for the same SCSI device as specified in the third-party device ID field. If an initiator attempts to release the third-party reservation that is made by itself but specifies incorrect third-party device ID, it does not cause an error. In this case, the target returns GOOD status without altering any other reservation. DRM /4/30

19 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A 3.9. MODE SENSE(6) The MODE SENSE(6) command provides a means for a medium changer device to report parameters to a HOST. It is a complementary command to the MODE SELECT(6) command. Table 17 MODE SENSE(6) command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code (1Ah) 1 Reserved DBD Reserved 2 Page Control Page Code 3 Reserved 4 Allocation Length 5 Control Byte (00h) As this model is a medium changer device, it has no meaningful information in a block descriptor. A DBD bit shall be set to one. Even if a disable block descriptors (DBD) bit is set to zero, DRM-7000 does not return any block descriptors in the returned MODE SENSE data. The Page Control (PC) field defines the type of mode parameter values to be returned in the mode pages. PC field only affects the mode parameters within the mode pages. The mode parameter header and the block descriptor always return current values. Table 18 PAGE CONTROL FIELD Code Type of Parameter Descriptions 00b Current values are the values established by last successful MODE SELECT command. If a MODE SELECT command has not successfully completed since the last power-on, hard RESET condition, the default values become the current values. The exception is for the initialize required element range page. See 2.2. ELEMENT STATUS MAINTENANCE. 01b Changeable values are the mask showing those mode parameters that are changeable. In the mask, the changeable fields of the mode parameters are set to all 1 bits and non-changeable fields of the mode parameters are set to all 0 bits. The HOST shall issue a MODE SENSE command with the PC field set to 01b and the Page Code field set to 3Fh to determine which mode pages are supported, which mode parameters within the mode pages are changeable, and the supported length of each mode page prior to issuing any MODE SELECT commands. 10b Default values are the values determined by the firmware. 11b Saved values are not implemented for this model. The MODE SENSE command with PC field of 11b is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status ( : Saving Parameters Not Supported). Table 19 Mode Page Codes Page Code Description Page Length Notes 1Dh Element Address Assignment Page 18 read only device-type specific 1Eh Transport Geometry Parameters Page 2 read only device-type specific 1Fh Device Capabilities Page 14 read only device-type specific 20h Initialize Required Elements Range Page varies changeable vendor-specific 3Fh Return all pages varies read only common for all devices Three device-type specific mode pages are defined in SMC. In this document, values and some descriptions is shown with their page formats. See SMC if you need more information about those pages. The Allocation Length field specifies the maximum number of bytes that a Host has allocated for returned data. The device terminates the data transfer when allocation length bytes have been transferred or when all available data have been transferred to the Host, whichever is less. When data is truncated, no error is generated. In general, the mode parameter list which is returned to a HOST consists of three parts; the mode parameter header, the block descriptor and the mode page(s). The mode parameter header and the block descriptor are described in SPC. Those fields are not so useful for the medium changer device. The MEDIUM TYPE code field and the DEVICE SPECIFIC PARAMETER field in the mode parameter header are reserved for medium changer devices. And the block descriptor length field in the mode parameter header is always zero even if the DBD bit in the CDB is set to zero. DRM-7000 does not return any block descriptors in the returned MODE SENSE data. DRM /4/30

Mode pages are distinguished by Page Code. The parameters savable (PS) bit is always zero. It indicates that there is no savable parameters. The mode parameters for each page are defined in the following clauses. See Mode Parameters SEND DIAGNOSTIC The SEND DIAGNOSTIC command requests the target to perform diagnostic operations on itself.

If the self-test successfully passes, the command is terminated with GOOD status; otherwise, the command is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status and the sense key is set to HARDWARE ERROR. A self-test bit of zero requests that the changer perform the diagnostic operation specified in the parameter list. But DRM-7000 implements the self-test feature only. The self-test bit must be set to one with the parameter list length of zero. DRM-7000 does not support a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command. DRM /4/30

21 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL The PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command is used to change the security level against the media access operation by the operator. This usage is vendor-specific. See the Programmer s Guide for details. Table 24 PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(1Eh) 1 Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Reserved Prevent 5 Control Byte(00h) In this context, the term MEDIUM REMOVAL means the operation to take out a medium from a changer by manipulating the operation panel. The default status is ALLOW. If the HOST would like to control the changer exclusively, it should issue the PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command with the Prevent bit is set to one. After receiving the command, MEDIUM REMOVAL operation is disabled. Operator could not use the mailslot and could not open the doors until the PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command with the Prevent bit is set to zero shall issue. When DRM-7000 is in the System administrator mode, it returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to NOT READY ( ) POSITION TO ELEMENT The POSITION TO ELEMENT command requests that the medium transport element move to in front of the specified destination element. Table 25 POSITION TO ELEMENT command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code(2Bh) 1 Reserved 2 (MSB) 3 Transport element address (LSB) 4 (MSB) 5 Destination address (LSB) 6 Reserved 7 Reserved 8 Reserved Invert (0) 9 Control Byte(00h) The POSITION TO ELEMENT command that is executed prior to issuing the MOVE MEDIUM command may reduce the time to access the specified source element address. But that is not a big deal. This usage is not recommended. Another usage of this command is to open the mailslot. When the destination element address is an import export element and an access to the mailslot is not prohibited, the medium transport element moves to in front of the mailslot and open it. This function enables an import operation of a disc. The destination element address of the mailslot is 3000h.An invert bit of this command must be set to zero, otherwise DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST ( ). When the Hyper I/E function is activated in advance, the destination element address 3001h is acceptable for the hyper magazine. The POSITION TO ELEMENT command ejects the hyper magazine as well as the mailslot in this case. But if some discs from hyper magazine are using on the drives, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST (5-3B-11). If the Hyper I/E function is prohibited, it returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST ( ). And when a hyper magazine is removed, it returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to NOT READY ( ). DRM /4/30

26 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A MOVE MEDIUM The MOVE MEDIUM command requests that the transport mechanism of a changer move a unit of media from a source element to a destination element. The source address specifies the location that the medium is taken from, and the destination address specifies the location that the medium is moved to. This is a principal command for a medium changer device. Table 37 MOVE MEDIUM command Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 Operation Code (A5h) 1 Reserved 2 (MSB) 3 Transport element address (LSB) 4 (MSB) 5 Source address (LSB) 6 (MSB) 7 Destination address (LSB) 8 Reserved 9 Reserved 10 Reserved Invert 11 Control Byte(00h) The transport element address specifies the medium transport element that is to be used in executing this command. Medium transport element address of DRM-7000 is 2000h but the default medium transport element address of zero will be acceptable. The source address and the destination address may represent a storage element, an import export element, or a data transfer element. The device capabilities MODE SENSE page provides a matrix with the supported source element or destination element combinations for the MOVE MEDIUM command. If the address specified has not been assigned to a specific element of the medium changer or the combination of addresses specified is not supported, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST ( ). If the source element is empty or the destination element is full, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST (5-3B-0E or 5-3B-0D). When the source element specified is uncertain (has not been probed), DRM-7000 accepts the MOVE MEDIUM command and requests that the robotics move to the specified element address. If the element has no medium, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST (5-3B-0E) at that time. On the other hand, if the destination element specified is uncertain, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to NOT READY ( ) without any move. When the source or destination element is missing, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to NOT READY ( ). These NOT READYs suggest the initialization of the element status is not enough or the element status has changed. It is recommended to get the current element status by using the MODE SENSE and/or the READ ELEMENT STATUS commands. If the destination address is an import export element and medium removal is prohibited by the PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to NOT READY ( ). When the mailslot that is specified as the source element or destination element is open, DRM-7000 returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to NOT READY ( ). An invert bit of one specifies that the medium will be inverted prior to depositing the medium into the destination element. DRM-7000 equips an optional medium rotation unit (Flip-Box). If it does not support medium rotation for handling double-sided media, the invert bit must be set to zero. Otherwise it returns CHECK CONDITION status and sets the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST ( ). It is recommended to get correct information by the MODE SENSE command. The Rotate bit of the Transport Geometry Parameters Page indicates it. DRM /4/30

27 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A READ ELEMENT STATUS The READ ELEMENT STATUS command requests that the medium changer report the status of its internal elements to the HOST. This is one of the most useful and essential commands for a medium changer device.

The element type code field specifies the particular element type(s) selected for reporting by this command. A value of zero specifies that status for all element types shall be reported. The element type codes are defined in the next table. Table 39 Element type code Code Description 0h all element types reported 1h medium transport element 2h storage element 3h import export element 4h data transfer element The starting element address specifies the minimum element address to report. Only elements with an element type code permitted by the element type code specification, and an element address greater than or equal to the starting element address are reported. Element descriptor blocks are not generated for undefined element addresses. The number of elements specifies the maximum number of element descriptors to be created by the changer for this command. The value specified by this field is not the range of element addresses to be considered for reporting but rather the number of defined elements to report. The allocation length field specifies the maximum number of bytes that the HOST has allocated for returned data. If the allocation length is not sufficient to transfer all the element descriptors, the target transfers all those descriptors that can be completely transferred and this is not considered an error. DRM-7000 does not implement the CURDATA function. The current data (CURDATA) bit is one, the changer returns element status data without causing device motion but even if the CURDATA bit is zero, the changer does not cause device motion to confirm element status data. The location of the CURDATA bit is reserved in SCSI-2. A device ID (DVCID) bit of one specifies that the changer shall return device identifiers, if available, for the specified range. A DVCID bit of zero specifies that the changer shall not return device identifiers. DRM-7000 supports the device ID feature for some element types but if the device ID feature is not supported for the specified element type, the DVCID bit is treated as reserved and not considered an error. The device ID returned from the data transfer element is essential information for the AUTO CONFIGURATION feature. DRM /4/30

The number of elements available field indicates the number of elements meeting the request in the CDB. The status for these elements is returned if sufficient allocation length was specified. The byte count of report available field indicates the number of bytes of element status page data available for all elements meeting the request in the command descriptor block. This value is not adjusted to match the allocation length available. Taking advantage of this feature, the READ ELEMENT STATUS command can be issued with an allocation length of eight bytes in order to determine the allocation length required to transfer all the element status data specified by the command Element status page format Each element status page includes an eight-byte header followed by one or more element descriptor blocks. The header includes the element type code, the length of each descriptor block and the number of bytes of element descriptor information that follow the header for this element type.

Only a removable medium bit (RMB) is set to one and indicates that the medium is removable. Bytes 8 through 46 are ASCII data fields. Each field is left aligned and unused bytes are filled with space characters(20h). 8 bytes of ASCII data, PIONEER, is our Vendor Identification code. To identify the model, it returns 16 bytes of ASCII data that contains device type and model name. As this model is a sample, model name is also tentative. It returns CHANGR DRM The Product Revision Level field contains 4 bytes of ASCII data identifying the control firmware within the model. As this model keeps its firmware in a flash-rom, each time firmware is updated this field would be changed. The basic format is #.## (# is numeral). Byte 36 through 46 are vendor specific fields. The Version Management Character field is used to indicate the status of the firmware. Usually, a small letter alphabet fills this field during the development period and space code(20h) will replace there when it is released. Therefore, application software and device driver should be better to treat this field as the 5th byte of the Product Revision Level field. The Product Revised Date field contains 10 bytes of ASCII data identifying the date of the firmware is revised. The basic format is YYYY/MM/DD, 4 byte for year, 2 bytes for month and 2 bytes for day.

This field is intended to be an aid to software that displays the identifier field. The value of Code set is 2h and it indicates the identifier field contains ASCII graphic codes (code values 20h through 7Eh). The Identifier type field specifies the format and assignment authority for the identifier. The value of Identifier type is 1h and it indicates that the first 8 bytes of the identifier field are a vendor-id. For DRM-7000, PIONEER is responsible for ensuring that the remainder of the identifier field is unique. Note that the uniqueness of an identifier is not brought by a serial number only. Each PIONEER s product has its Product-ID. PIONEER ensures an uniqueness of serial number within the same Product-ID products. DRM /4/30

40 PIONEER DRM-7000 SCSI Command Reference DS-S071A Initialize Required Elements Range Page This mode page is a newly defined and vendor-specific page. It is an extension of the initialize element range page that has been supported by the former model DRM-5004/1004 series. Starting and ending element addresses given by the initialize element range page that is used with the MODE SELECT command eliminates the extent of elements which shall be checked by the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. The former initialize element range page can specify only one extent of elements but newly developed initialize required elements range page supports multiple extents of elements. Table 53 Initialize required elements range page Byte bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 PS(0) Reserved Page Code (20h) 1 Page Length (4n) 2 (MSB) 3 First Starting Element Address (LSB) 4 (MSB) 5 First Ending Element Address (LSB) 6 (MSB) 7 Second Starting Element Address (LSB) 8 (MSB) 9 Second Ending Element Address (LSB) : : 4n-2 (MSB) 4n-1 nth Starting Element Address (LSB) 4n (MSB) 4n+1 nth Ending Element Address (LSB) The former initialize element range page with the MODE SENSE command was to be used only to monitor the result of the MODE SELECT command for that page. It was a passive data and did not represent the real status of the storage elements at all. In other words, this page was designed for using with the MODE SELECT command at that time. On the other hand, newly developed initialize required element range (IRER) page is designed for using both MODE SENSE and MODE SELECT commands. The meaning of this page with the MODE SELECT command is essentially same as the former initialize element range page. But the meaning of this page with the MODE SENSE command becomes much more active one. The data that DRM-7000 returns for the IRER page code with the MODE SENSE command will represent the current status of the storage elements within the changer unit. It does not directly reflect the result of the MODE SELECT command for that page but reflects the result of the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. The IRER page with the MODE SELECT command specifies the extents of elements which shall be probed by the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. If the IRER page with the MODE SELECT or MODE SENSE commands has not successfully completed since the last power-on or hard reset condition, the default values of the starting element address is 0001h and the ending element address is 0302h. Then the execution of the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command will take a lot of time because the disc picker mechanism will probe every storage elements in the medium changer. Using the IRER page with the MODE SENSE and the MODE SELECT commands appropriately will minimize the time losses to probe storage elements in the medium changer. The HOST should issue a MODE SENSE command to recognize the current status of the storage elements if some UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION is sensed. See 2.2. ELEMENT STATUS MAINTENANCE in this document.

45 FEATURES FLEXIBLE UNIT DESIGN The Pioneer DRM-7000-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 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. While the front bays are designed for use exclusively in installing 50-disc magazines (up to a maximum of 7 units), the rear bays are designed as the multipurpose bays. Add-on components like drives, disc flip unit and 50-disc magazines may be installed in various combinations. If all rear bays may be used for drives, 16 drives are available. And the spaces for two drives are replaceable with one 50-disc magazine or a disc flip unit. If you will install only two drives to maximize the amount of data storage available, it is possible to install as many as 720-discs. Conversely if you will install 16 drives to maximize the performance of the DRM-7000, the amount of data storage is 370-discs. It is also possible to leave the bays unfilled and to add drives or magazines as needed. The Pioneer DRM-7000 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. 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. English 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 disc magazine (locked-type): This model is perfect for managing offline media where the security and unchangeableness may be required. Builtin 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. EASE OF INSTALLATION 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. CONTROL PANEL FITTED WITH AN LCD MESSAGE WINDOW FOR EASE OF USE 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 with only 5 keys. DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM EXPANDABILITY AND IMPROVEMENT Pioneer also plans to release a disc turning unit for use with double-sided DVDs, a network interface unit, a video decoder unit, a DVD-R drive unit, and a wide variety of other optional components in the near future. And the DRM-7000 has been designed so that all of these new components will be able to be easily installed and recognized by the system. ADVANCED HIGH-SPEED, HIGH- RELIABILITY DISC TRANSPORT MECHANISM The Pioneer DRM-7000 adopts an advanced disc transporting mechanism which has established an excellent record for itself in providing both high speeds and a high degree of reliability in the DRM-1004 series, and provides even better performance to it. 5 <DRC1105> En

46 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS INSTALLATION Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface. Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the following: 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. 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. 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. The recording disc used with the CD-R drive should be the disc 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. Please be careful not to lose the lock release keys provided with your DRM-7000, 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. FOR SAFETY 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. 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. 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 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 causes slight vibrations and noise, but this does not indicate a problem. And it does not effect the performance of the changer. CONDENSATION 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. 6 <DRC1105> En

47 READ BEFORE USE 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. Although the DRM-7000 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. This is why the control panel of the DRM-7000 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, 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 administrator s 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. OFFLINE MEDIA MANAGEMENT The DRM-7000 provides the following features which makes it perfect for the management of offline media. 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. 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. 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. 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. However although the DRM-7000 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. 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. English Unique disc magazine IDs All disc magazines used in the DRM-7000 are assigned unique ID codes which makes it possible to identify individual magazines simply by inserting them into the magazine bays. 7 <DRC1105> En

48 Read before use 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 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 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. 169 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. (Note that an additional power supply unit will also be needed if you wish to install 9 or more drives.) The positions where connector panels are to be attached. (Note that the DRM-7000 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). should not exceed this level. Also note that the maximum amount of power which may be supplied over a single connector is DC +5V/4A and DC +12V/4A. An additional power supply unit may also be installed to make it possible to install up to 8 devices in the upper rear bays (i.e., Bay #9 Bay #16) as well. 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 in order to adapt it for use in configuring a system to your own specifications. 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] An example of how SCSI cables should be connected is shown on p. 17. At the time of factory shipping, the DRM-7000 is equipped with a power supply which provides only enough power for up to 8 additional devices which may be installed in the lower rear bays (i.e., Bay #1 Bay #8). The maximum amount of power which may be supplied to these eight rear bays is DC +5V/12A and DC +12V/8A, and the total power consumption of devices installed 8 <DRC1105> En 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.)

54 INSTALLATION STEP 1 1. Attach the placement fixtures In order to prevent the changer from falling over, attach the placement fixtures at the left and right of the front and rear of the unit. 3. Lock the casters Four casters at the bottom of DRM-7000 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. Lock Placement fixture 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 placement fixtures before doing anything else. Note that the placement fixtures 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 placement fixtures will not be covered under warranty. 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. Minimum of 50 cm 14 <DRC1105> En

55 Installation STEP 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. 15) 2. Loosening the shipping screws (see p. 15) 3. Installing drive units (see p. 15) 4. Connecting SCSI cables (see p. 16) 5. Inserting disc magazines (see p. 18) 6. Closing access doors (see p. 21) 3. Installing drive units 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. 1. Attaching add-on connector panels, if necessary Screwdriver English 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 access doors could not open automatically, you must open them by some manual operation using the system administrator mode to continue with installation. See Door submode on p.35 for further information. 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 becoming lost. Shipping screws NOTES: Be sure to tighten again the shipping screws before retransporting 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. 35 for further information.) 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 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. Guide rails Drive Lock lever 15 <DRC1105> En

56 Installation 2 Connect 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. Power cable 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. Termination indicator Wiring monitor indicator 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 Changer interface cable 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. NOTES: The total length of cables used in a SCSI bus must be less than 6 meters, including the internal daisy-chain cables, changer/drive cable and changer/host cable. (See Examples of how to connect SCSI cables on page 17.) 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 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. 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. 16 <DRC1105> En

58 Installation 5. Inserting disc magazines Any of the following methods may be used to insert discs into the changer: 1. Insert discs into a normal-type 50-disc magazine and then insert the magazine into the changer. 2. Insert discs into a 20-disc hyper magazine and then insert the magazine into the changer. 3. Use the control panel to specify the slot into which a disc is to be inserted and transport a disc to the specified slot from the mailslot. 4. Issue some commands from the host computer to open the mailslot and transport a disc to the specified slot from the mailslot. 5. Issue some commands from the host computer to move discs in the loaded hyper magazine to some slots within the loaded 50-disc magazines. Hyper magazine is not able to be inserted or removed when the power to the changer is turned off. Methods 3 through 5 may be used after the changer is ready for operation. When inserting discs in these methods, always be sure to insert empty disc magazines first. Also note that methods 3 through 5 are used when inserting locked-type 50-disc magazines. (See System administrator mode: Mailslot submode on p. 32 for further information.) Whether or not it is possible to use methods 4 and 5 depends on the function of changer control software being used, and you should check the manual which comes with the software to check if it supports these methods to insert discs. 1. Insert discs into a normal-type 50-disc magazine and insert the magazine into the changer. 1 Turn the release knob to the vertical direction to unlock. 2 Insert discs. 3 Turn the release knob to the horizontal direction to lock the discs into place. NOTES: Insert with label facing upward. Insert discs horizontally. Otherwise it may result in damage to the discs. Take care not to scratch or do other damage to the recording faces of discs. Do not turn a disc magazine upside down while the lock is disengaged. Otherwise it may result in discs falling out of the magazine. 4 Insert magazine into changer. Holding the handle of the disc magazine, insert the disc magazine into the changer following the changer guide rails until it runs against the stopper. And turn the handle to the left with pushing the magazine in so that the lock pin on the left of the magazine slides into the corresponding hole along the side of the changer.

61 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. English 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. 35 for information on how to open the rear access door.) 21 <DRC1105> En

62 ESC FUNCTION LOCK UNLOCK ENT POWER ROBOTICS DRIVE MAIL SLOT BUSY BUSY OCCUPIED OPERATION The Pioneer DRM-7000 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. USER MODE 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 operating in user mode, the changer will operate in accordance with 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. 2. Press the FUNCTION key. LOCK UNLOCK 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. 24) Config submode (see p. 24) Option submode (see p. 26) Info submode (see p. 30) 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. Mailslot submode (see p. 32) Hyper submode (see p. 33) Probe submode (see p. 34) Door submode (see p. 35) 22 <DRC1105> En

63 Operation NOTE: The DRM-7000 is designed so as to prohibit the use of maintenance submodes from the host computer. Note that while it is possible to enter system administrator mode even though the use of these submodes is prohibited, only the information submodes will be able to be used. System administrator mode settings screen are displayed in the sequence indicated below.

64 Operation Inquiry submode Inquiry submode is the entry to system administrator mode and also the exit to user mode. Here the DRM-7000 displays information its own. The data displayed is the same as that obtained when the host computer issues an SCSI INQUIRY command to the changer. Your changer s current SCSI ID and the firmware revision is seen here. Pressing the ENT key at this time then the changer s model name and device ID (i.e., serial number) to be displayed. Pressing the ESC key causes the display to return one level above from the message currently being displayed. To change the changer s SCSI ID, use the SCSI ID switch located at the lower left at the rear of the changer. When the setting value of the SCSI ID switch is altered, the display will show a message like that shown below. (Note that the message shown here is the message which would be displayed when the SCSI ID is changed from 6 to 5.) The SCSI ID will be updated only when the power to the changer is turned OFF and ON or the host computer resets the SCSI bus on which the changer is. Config submode Config submode is the mode to browse the current status of the magazine bays and the rear bays. It may be used to make sure that all components currently installed in the changer have been properly recognized by the changer. Pressing the ENT key causes the display to switch to the select bay screen. Press the «or» key to select either the magazine bay or the rear bay. Operation when the rear bay has been selected Pressing the ENT key causes the component which has been inserted into the rear bay #1 to be displayed. The bay number to be displayed is selected by pressing the» or «key. Press» or «key Press» or «key Press» or «key If the component that has been inserted in the bay displayed is a drive unit, it is possible to read out the SCSI ID, termination switch settings, and device ID of the drive in question. Press the ENT key when the displayed is the bay in which a drive has been inserted, then it displays the above information. 24 <DRC1105> En

65 Operation If a disc has been transported to the drive, it is also possible to press the ENT key to display the disc number. NOTE: Some types of stored information are in layers. Then pressing the ENT key may cause the display to proceed to the next layer and pressing the ESC key causes the display to return one level above from the message currently being displayed. Note that pressing the ESC key too many times will cause the system to return to user mode. Operation when the magazine bay has been selected Pressing the ENT key will cause the hyper magazine ID to be displayed. As the rear bays are multipurpose bays, sometimes some bays cannot be used as magazine bays because drives have been installed instead. Then the message displayed will be like that indicated below. When you wish to check to see what type of disc magazine has been installed, press the ENT key. Pressing the» key while magazine bay 15 (M15) is being displayed will cause the display to return to a hyper magazine display. When you wish to view drives, press the ESC key to return to the select bay screen and then select the rear bay. English If a hyper magazine is not inserted, the following message will be displayed instead. Pressing the» key while a hyper magazine is being displayed will cause the magazine IDs to be displayed in sequence beginning from magazine bay 1 (M1). Press» key When no disc magazine has been inserted, the message displayed will be as indicated below. 25 <DRC1105> En

66 Operation Option submode 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 selected as needed. Note that requirements concerning 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. Option submode may be used to specify the following optional functions. 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) 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. 34) 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. 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. Press the ENT key Press the key to set to ON Press the ENT key (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. 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. 26 <DRC1105> En

67 Operation 2. Hot start 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. 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. Press the ENT key 3. Auto eject 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. 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. English Press the key to set to ON Press the ENT key (Note that a Hot start is prohibited message will be displayed if hot start function is set to OFF.) 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. Press the ENT key Press the \ key to set to OFF Press the ENT key (Note that a Auto eject is activated message 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. 27 <DRC1105> En

68 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. 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. 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. 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) 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. Press the ENT key Press the \ key to set to OFF Press the ENT key (Note that a Hyper I/E is activated message will be displayed if hyper I/E function is set to ON.) 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. 28 <DRC1105> En

69 Operation 5. Alert buzzer Control panel of the DRM-7000 is equipped with a buzzer which is designed to sound at designated times. 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. 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. 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. 6. Free message 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. 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. 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. English Press the ENT key Press the \ key to set to OFF Press the ENT key (Note that a Alert buzzer is activated message will be displayed if the alert buzzer is set to ON.) Press the ENT key Press the key to set to ON Press the ENT key (Note that an Free message is prohibited message will be displayed if free message function is set to OFF.) Note that even if free message function is activated, if no messages are received from the host computer, all messages displayed on the LCD message window will consist of messages from the changer itself. 29 <DRC1105> En

70 Operation Info submode The DRM-7000 stores data needed in order for system administrators to perform daily maintenance in non-volatile memories, and info submode may be used to browse these data. If you press the ENT key at this point, the following menu screen will appear which makes it possible to select the type of information to be read. Move the cursor to the type of information you need and then press the ENT key. Log When you select log data browsing, it is possible to choose either error-log or import-log data. Move the cursor to either Error-log or Import-log and press the ENT key to browse the corresponding log data. Error-log Error-log is a log of error codes together with simple messages describing the types of error detected by the changer, with a maximum of up to 32 errors being stored in memory and able to be retrieved in order from the most recent error. Moving the cursor to an error code and pressing the ENT key causes a description of the type of error in question to be displayed. Import-log Import log is a sequential list of all disc slot numbers in which discs have been newly inserted into the changer when operating in mailslot submode (see p. 32). The slot numbers displayed include the slot numbers not only for discs which have been added but also discs which have been replaced in mailslot submode. Note that discs in normal-type 50-disc magazines which have been added are displayed as a magazine unit. Press «key Press «key Contents Contents information of the changer may be retrieved in order to browse the status of all slots within the changer. Press «key Press» key ± Note that the number displayed under the heading Uncertain indicates the number of slots for which the changer is still uncertain whether the slot is empty or full. Press the ENT key 30 <DRC1105> En

71 Operation Run-statistics The run statistics information may be retrieved to display the amount of time or the number of times operations have been performed. Move the cursor to either Work-time sum or Number of moves and press the ENT key to browse the corresponding data. Work-time sum PowerOn-time may be selected in order to display the total amount of time the power has been turned on. Press the ENT key Drive work-time may be selected to display the total amount of time each drive within the changer has been in operation. Number of moves The «and» keys may be pressed to display the number of any of the following four operations which have been performed. Elevation done: This item may be selected to indicate the number of times the elevation mechanism has been operated. Note that this information is useful as a means of determining when the elevation mechanism needs to be serviced or maintained. Load/Unload done: This item may be selected to indicate the number of times the loading mechanism has been operated in order to load or unload a disc into a slot or a drive. When a disc is moved from a slot to a drive, the number of load/unload operations is normally counted as two. Note that this information is useful as a means of determining when the loading mechanism needs to be serviced or maintained. Mailslot driven: This item may be selected to indicate the number of times a mailslot has been used. Note that an open-and-close operation is counted as one time. Hyper driven: This item may be selected to indicate the number of times a hyper magazine has been ejected or inserted. Note that an eject-and-insert operation is counted as one time. Press «key Press» key ± English Press the ENT key Press» key Press» key Press «key Press» key ± Press «key Press» key ± Note that the data indicating the total amount of time displayed under Drive work-time is maintained individually for each unique device ID, and that for this reason always the correct value is displayed even if a drive is reinserted into a different bay within the changer. 31 <DRC1105> En

72 Operation Mailslot submode Mailslot submode is designed to use mailslot with the control panel in order to exchange, eject, or add discs. NOTE: Although the insertion or removal of discs may normally be performed only by the host computer in order to prevent discrepancies from arising in the database, it is permitted for the system administrator to use this mode to insert or remove discs. When doing so, however, the system administrator must make a record of the slots to which discs have been moved and, when necessary, also perform database maintenance. (Note that the slot numbers of slots for which discs have been added may be read by using the import-log in Info submode.) 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. When the disc swapping operation has been completed, the message displayed on the LCD message window will return to the initial swap disc message with the next slot number corresponding to the condition described above being displayed. To exit swap mode, press the ESC key. Remove If you press the ENT key at this point, the following Swap, Remove, or Add some discs? selection menu will appear. Move the cursor to the menu item to be selected and press the ENT key to make your selection. Swap Use the» or «keys to specify the slot number of the slot for which you wish to exchange discs and press the ENT key. (Note that each time either one of the» or «keys is pressed, the slot numbers in which discs have been inserted and the slot numbers for which the changer is still uncertain whether the slot is empty or full will be shown in sequence.) Use the» or «keys to specify the slot number of the disc you wish to remove and press the ENT key. (Note that discs may be removed by this mode only from slots for which it is confirmed that a disc has been inserted, and that the selection menu displayed will not change when the ENT key is pressed if there is no confirmed slot in which a disc has been inserted.) The specified disc will be carried to the mailslot, the tray will open, and the following message will be displayed. Remove the disc and press the ENT key to close the tray. When the disc has been removed, the message displayed on the LCD message window will return to the initial remove disc message with the next slot number corresponding to the condition described above being displayed. To exit remove mode, press the ESC key. If there is a disc in the specified slot, the disc will be carried to the mailslot, the tray will open, and the following message will be displayed. If there is no disc in the specified slot, the tray will open and the following message will be displayed. 32 <DRC1105> En

73 Operation Add Use the» or «keys to specify the slot number to which you wish to add a disc and press the ENT key. (Note that discs may be added by this mode only to slots for which it is confirmed that no disc has been inserted, and that the selection menu displayed will not change when the ENT key is pressed if there is no slot confirmed empty.) The mailslot tray will open and the following message will be displayed. 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. When the disc has been added, the message displayed on the LCD message window will return to the initial add disc message with the next slot number corresponding to the condition described above being displayed. To exit add mode, press the ESC key. NOTE: If you cannot add a new disc in add mode, add the disc in swap mode instead. Hyper submode Hyper submode is designed to eject a hyper magazine. Since the DRM-7000 is not equipped with an exclusive key to eject a hyper magazine, you must enter this mode to make the ENT key into the eject key. 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. 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. When all the discs have been returned to the hyper magazine, the following message will be displayed. Pressing the ENT key will cause the following messages to be displayed and the hyper magazine to be ejected. English If you wish to exit this mode without replacing the hyper magazine, press the ESC key three times to return to user mode. 33 <DRC1105> En

74 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. 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. When there are records of the lock having been unlocked, the message displayed will be as follows. 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. 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. If you press the ENT key at this point, the magazine bay numbers into which magazines have been loaded will be displayed in sequence. 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. : When all fifty slots have been probed, a message will be displayed asking if you wish to continue. Select Yes to continue and No to quit and then press the ENT key. 34 <DRC1105> En

75 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. 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. Door submode This mode is used to open the access doors to swap 50-disc magazines, to swap or add drives. 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. English 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 submode, press the FUNCTION key to re-enter system administrator mode (see p. 22). 35 <DRC1105> En

76 Operation ADDING DRIVE UNITS Any drive designed for use in the DRM-7000 changer can easily be added as a new drive. Note that the power supply equipped with the DRM-7000 as standard equipment provides only enough power for up to 8 additional devices which may be installed in the lower rear bays (i.e., Bay #1 Bay #8) and that an additional add-on power unit must be installed to make it possible to install additional drives in the upper rear bays (i.e., Bay #9 Bay #16). 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. How to add a drive 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. Screwdriver 2. Attach add-on connector panels, if necessary 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. Guide rails Drive Lock lever 36 <DRC1105> En

77 Operation 4. Connect the power cable. 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. When the termination switch of the drive is set to on, the termination indicator (green) will light up. 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. English Termination indicator Power cable Wiring monitor indicator 5. Connect the changer interface cable. When the changer interface cable has been connected, the wiring monitor indicator will flash at two-second intervals. Wiring monitor indicator Changer interface cable 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. 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 buzzer will sound once. If the same SCSI ID has been assigned to two or more drives, a buzzer will sound three times. 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. 8. Enter system administrator mode and enter config submode (see p. 24) to check that the changer recognizes all the internal drives. For example, three DVD-ROM drives and one CD-R drive have been added in the rear bays beginning from Bay #1 in sequence, the following messages will be displayed. Press» key Press» key Press» key Press» key 37 <DRC1105> En

78 Operation NOTES: If the changer interface cable has not been properly connected, the changer will not be able to recognize the drive at all. You should check the wiring monitor indicator located on the back of the drive. When the cables have been properly connected, the indicator ought to be flashing. = If the indicator is lit, check to make sure that the changer interface cable of the drive in question has been properly connected. = If the indicator is not lit, check to make sure that the power cable of the drive in question has been properly connected. If the cables need to be reconnected, reconnect the power cable before reconnecting the changer interface cable. If the drive is recognized but the model name of the drive is not displayed in the lower half of the LCD message window, disconnect all three cables and reconnect them again. Order in which cables are to be disconnected: 1. SCSI interface cable 2. Changer interface cable 3. Power cable Order in which cables are to be reconnected: 1. Power cable 2. Changer interface cable 3. SCSI interface cable 9. To view the settings for all drives which have been recognized, press the ENT key to proceed to the next layer in the message display. The SCSI ID, termination switch setting, and unique device ID of each drive will be read in and displayed at the same time on the same message window. If four drives have been connected in a daisy chain configuration and termination has been turned on for the fourth drive in the chain, the messages displayed will be as indicated below. Press the ENT key Press the ESC key to return to the previous message and then press the» key Press the ENT key Press the ESC key to return to the previous message and then press the» key Press the ENT key Press the ESC key to return to the previous message and then press the» key Press the ENT key NOTES: If the SCSI IDs or termination switch settings displayed differ from those which set on the backs of drives, or if a drive s device ID fails to be displayed, it is likely that the corresponding cables were improperly connected.
