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.

ADDING DRIVE UNITS

Any drive designed for use in the DRM-7000/DRM-3000
changer can easily be added as a new drive.
The power unit provided as standard equipment is designed
to provide sufficient electrical capacity to support up to 8
drives mounted in rear bays #1 to #8. When adding additional
drives to the rear bays #9 – #16 of the model DRM-7000,
however, an optional additional power unit is required.

Warning about static electricity

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

NOTES:
¶ When disconnecting drive cables that had been connected

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

1. SCSI interface cable
2. Changer interface cable
3. Power cable

¶ If you wish to add a drive to a SCSI bus where the

termination for an existing drive has been turned on, the
termination for the new drive to be added must be turned
on and the termination for the existing drive turned off.

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.

2. Attach add-on connector panels, if necessary
