<MC-R434U connection example>
1. Connect the power supply cable, control cable and SCSI
cable to the connectors at the rear of the MC-R434U.
䡵When using the MC-8100LU, the No. of the cable must
always correspond to the No. of the drive bay to which it
is being connected. If a cable with the wrong number is
connedted, it will lead to the equipment malfunctioning.
䡵When using an MC8200LU/8600LU, connect the con-
trol cables which lead from the side of the drive bay where
the MC-R434 is to be inserted.
䡵Insert all connectors firmly.
䡵SCSI cables are connected as a daisy chain connec-
tion. Each connector should be connected to the drive
positions as illustrated in the diagram.
•The SCSI cable, which is built into the MC-8100LU/
8200LU/8600LU standard models, terminates at the
location where the connection is physically terminated.

Procedure for Connecting the Cables to
the Back of the MC-R434U
1. Insert the MC-R434U from the rear of the CD/DVD Library
䡵Be sure not to damage the sensor slit.
䡵Make sure that the direction of the MC-R434U is correct
when inserting it.
䡵Be sure that the cables connected to the rear of the CD/
DVD Library are not caught or pinched when inserting
the MC-R434U.
2. Insert the MC-R434U slowly until the screw installation hole
located on the side of the MC-R434U and the screw instal-
lation hole located on the drive locking section are aligned.
3. Screw in the provided drive locking screw to the screw in-
stallation hole of the drive locking section.
䡵Tighten the screw firmly.
䡵If the drive locking screw is loose, the drive and/or Li-
brary may be damaged.

2. Connect the two LVD power cables (6P) to the SE-LVD
conversion board.
䡵Both cables have identical connector types, so that ei-
ther cable can be connected to either connector on the
SE-LVD conversion board.
3. Connect the internal SCSI (SE) cable (50P) to the SE-LVD
conversion board.
䡵The other end of the internal SCSI (SE) cable is con-
nected to the library SCSI board in the library.
4. Connect the internal SCSI (LVD) cable (68P) to the drives.

䡵The length of the SCSI cable built into the CD/DVD library is
1.0 meters.
䡵When the built-in SCSI cable is used by connecting it to an
external SCSI cable, check the total length of the SCSI cable.
If it should exceed the length described below it might be the
cause of a malfunction.
1) Used for an LVD: The maximum external cable length
should be 10 meters.
2) Used for an SE (Narrow) unit: The maximum external cable
length should be as follows.
• SCSI-2, 10 Mbyte/s, SYNC : 1.5 meters (Up to a maxi
mum of 2 drives)
• SCSI-2, 10 Mbyte/s, SYNC : 1.5 meters
• SCSI-2, ASYNC : 4.5 meters
䡵Optimum performance may not be achieved depending on
the settings of the transmission rate, operation conditions,
etc., and could be the cause of a failure when writing on the
DVD-R or CD-R with high-speed.
䡵Use an Ultra160-compatible cable as the external SCSI cable.
A malfunction may occur if any another type of cable is used.
䡵Be sure to fasten the SCSI connector with suitable screws
after making a connection with an external SCSI cable.
䡵Use an Ultra160-compatible cable as the external SCSI cable.
●Execute the automatic drive detection mode of the
CD/DVD Library.
For the automatic drive detection mode, refer to the
instruction manual for the CD/DVD Library.
EXECUTION OF AUTO-
MATIC DRIVE DETEC-
TION MODE.
CAUTION
䡵Be sure to close the drive storage cover and door of the
CD/DVD Library before turning it on.
䡵After installing, adding, replacing or removing the drives,
be sure to execute the automatic drive detection mode.
Otherwise, a malfunction may result.
䡵After installing, adding, removing or replacing the drives,
or changing the SCSI ID No., be sure to turn the host
computer off and then turn it on again.

drive type (DRIVE DISPLAY).
䡵“DVD-RAM” will be displayed at the DRIVE DISPLAY on
the CD/DVD Library. If “UNKNOWN” is displayed, a cable
connection may not have been performed correctly. In
such a case, first turn off the power, then check the in-
stallation and connection again.
