Preparing for Conversion 1 Overview This chapter explains what is needed to convert an existing jukebox into several configurations. The following topics are presented.
Preparing for Conversion Conversion options and kits To convert a jukebox from a magneto optical (MO) system to an ultra-density optical (UDO) or mixed-media system, first make the existing MO jukebox UDO-ready. After this is complete, you can install new UDO drives in place of the MO drives, or in addition to retrofitted existing MO drives. The following sections describe the kit required for each option.
Preparing for Conversion Note: Only 14x MO drives can be upgraded and included in a mixed-media jukebox. 2x, 4x, and 8x MO drives are not supported in a mixed-media configuration. Increasing jukebox capacity To increase jukebox capacity from 32 to 64 slots, new UDO drives must be installed, and a capacity module may be needed to allow the system to use the additional slots. Use Kit AA996A, the contents of which are presented in Table 4.
Preparing for Conversion Tools and firmware When upgrading or converting the library, connect your PC to the jukebox to perform the following two tasks: ■ Download firmware to the jukebox controller and drives. ■ Verify proper operation of the drives after conversion or firmware installation. Specific tools and firmware are required.
