Installation 6. Closing access doors English 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.
OPERATION The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has two operation modes. One is user mode performing the computer-based operations and the other is system administrator mode mainly performing manual operations from the control panel. By dividing the admitted operations into these two modes, it becomes possible to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes occurring between operations performed from the control panel and commands issued by the host computer.
Operation System administrator mode settings screen are displayed in the sequence indicated below. English NOTE: The DRM-7000/DRM-3000 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.
Operation Inquiry submode Inquiry submode is the entry to system administrator mode and also the exit to user mode. Here the DRM-7000/DRM3000 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.
Operation To confirm the type of magazine installed, press the ESC key to return to the bay select screen, then select the desired magazine bay. 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 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.
2. Hot start 3. Auto eject When discs have been transported to drives and the power to the changer is turned off and then the power to the changer is turned back on, then the discs will be automatically returned to their original slots. (Note that this automatic disc return operation is not performed after a SCSI bus reset.
Operation Similarly, the hyper magazine will not be automatically ejected even when an eject command is received from the host computer, and instead like the following will be displayed on the LCD message window. Press the ENT key ≠ To press the ENT key to cause the tray of the mailslot or the hyper magazine to be ejected, it is necessary for the key switch to be in UNLOCK position.
5. Alert buzzer 6. Free message Control panel of the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is equipped with a buzzer which is designed to sound at designated times. When discs are to be inserted or removed in accordance with instructions from the host computer, messages will be displayed on the LCD message window indicating the next operation which must be performed.
Operation Info submode The DRM-7000/DRM-3000 stores data needed in order for system administrators to perform daily maintenance in nonvolatile memories, and info submode may be used to browse these data. ¶ 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. 34).
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.
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.
Operation ¶ 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.
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.
Operation 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.
Operation 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. How to add a drive 1.
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.
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.
Operation Press the ESC key ≠ Drives may be exchanged following the same procedure as that describing above for adding new drives. Described below is the procedure to be following when exchanging drives, and it also eliminates the worry of making mistakes in the drive bay number which is to be exchanging.
Operation 4. Make sure the wiring monitor indicator (orange). It is located on the back of the drive and ought to be flashing at half-second intervals if the drive has been selected in Step 3. Then disconnect the cables to the drive. Order in which cables are to be disconnected: 1. SCSI interface cable 2. Changer interface cable 3. Power cable 9. Compare the SCSI ID and termination settings of the newly installed drive against those of the removed drive.
12. Press the ESC key several times to return to user mode and close the rear access door. Press the ESC key ≠ NOTE: If you will replace drives without using the procedure described above, you must be more careful not to remove the wrong drive. In such a case, the installation procedure of the drive is the same as that described in “How to add a drive” (on p. 38), and note that the conditions under which the buzzer is sounded differ slightly.
OTHERS TROUBLESHOOTING Here are some tips for solving common problems that may be encountered. Some defects with discs or lack of experience in performing operations may result in errors being displayed or in problems which seem breakdowns. Simple mistakes or misconceptions can be corrected or cleared away by using the following table which has been provided for troubleshooting of the system administrator.
Description of problem Hyper magazine cannot be ejected in Hyper submode. Message display Host must return all hyper’s disc There exists a drive or drives which fail to be recognized by the host computer even though they have been recognized in Config submode. Possible cause Return to user mode, issue REZERO command from the host computer requesting that all discs be returned, and try to perform the operation again after all discs have been returned. ¶ SCSI cable has not been connected properly.
