SETTING UPTHE JUKEBOX
This chapter tells you how to connect the jukebox to your computer. Follow the unpacking instructions printed on the
outside of the shipping carton before you complete the steps given in this chapter.
NOTE: “Jukebox” and “library” are two, interchangeable terms used for this type of data storage device. “Jukebox” is used in
this document.
The term “autochanger” in this document refers only to the physical and electronic components that manage the
movement and storage of optical cartridges inside the jukebox.
This chapter gives information on the following topics:
•choosing a proper environment for the jukebox
•identifying parts on the rear panel
•connecting the jukebox to your computer
•connecting power
•moving and shipping the jukebox

WHAT YOU NEED FOR SETTING UP THE JUKEBOX:
•power cord (included)
•SCSI terminator (included)
•68-pin, high density SCSI cable of desired length
•single-ended or low-voltage differential SCSI host adapter with at least two available addresses (at least three avail-
able addresses if you are installing one jukebox with two drives).
•application software that supports this type of jukebox
•this guide (included)

CHOOSING ALOCATION
Before setting up your jukebox, choose the proper environment based on the following recommendations:
•temperature range between 65-75ºF (18-24ºC). The maximum operating temperature range is 50-104ºF (10-40º)
•away from sources of particulate contamination such as printers, scanners, frequently-used doors and walkways,
supplies that collect dust, and smoke-filled rooms.
•2-3 inches in front and back of the jukebox to allow air circulation.
•availability of AC power with voltage ranges of 100-127 V (115 V nominal) or 200-240 V (230 V nominal). This
jukebox has an autoranging power supply.
At 100-127 V, the maximum current rating is 1.8 Amperes
At 200-240V, the maximum current rating is 0.9 Amperes
Typical power usage is 100 Watts
Maximum power usage is 170 Watts
Complete specifications are at www.hp.com/go/optical or you may contact your sales or service respresentative.

The numbers below correspond to the numbers in Figure 1-1 on the previous page.
Table 1-1:
1 Power receptacle Used to connect the power cord to the jukebox.
2 Standby/on switch The ON position applies power to the robotics and
electronics in the jukebox. The STANDBY
position removes power from the robotics and
electronics of the jukebox but power remains ON
inside the power supply enclosure on the rear of the
jukebox.
To remove power completely from the jukebox,
you must remove the power cable either from the
rear input on the jukebox or at the wall/floor
electrical outlet.
3 SCSI ports Two 68-pin high-density connectors that allow
connection to either a single-ended or low-voltage
differential SCSI bus. A terminator must be
plugged into one of these connectors when the
jukebox is the last physical device on a SCSI bus.
The terminator shipped with the jukebox is a
single-ended / low-voltage differential terminator.
For the most flexible configuration, use a self-
configuring single-ended / low-voltage differential
terminator (SE/LVD) even though the jukebox may
be originally configured onto a low-voltage
differential bus.

REMOVING THE MAILSLOT SHIPPING BRACKET AND
CHECKING REMOVAL OF THE SHIPPING SCREW
The jukebox is shipped with a plastic bracket inserted into the mailslot to prevent damage to the mailslot during ship-
ping. A shipping screw is installed through the bottom of the chassis to restrain the cartridge picker.
To remove the mailslot bracket, do the following. Refer to Figure 1-2 on the following page.
1. Grasp both sides of the bracket and at the same time hook your fingers underneath its lower edge.
2. Gently bend the bottom of the bracket out slightly and while jiggling the bracket, pull it out from the mailslot.

NOTE: When shipped, a wire links the shipping screw to the packing material on the bottom of the jukebox. The screw should
have been removed when the bottom packing material was removed.
Check that the shipping screw was removed by doing the following:
3. Slide a finger under the chassis so that you can feel the area shown in Figure 1-3. The bottom of the chassis should
be flat. You should not feel the head of a finger screw.
Caution: If you feel a large screwhead undeneath the chassis, gently lay the jukebox on its side and remove the screw. The jukebox will not
be harmed by laying it on its side.
After removing the screw, raise the jukebox up and onto its feet.
The jukebox weighs approximately 75 pounds (34 kg). Use two people to lay the jukebox on its side.
