1. In order to remove the two blind plates, remove the four
screws from the SCSI connector installation section at the
rear of the CD/DVD Library (drive storage cover).
2. Insert the provided SCSI cable through the installation hole
from the inside of the drive storage cover and secure it with
the four screws.
䡵Remove the connector cap of the SCSI cable for instal-
lation.
䡵Be sure that the SCSI connector is inserted in the cor-
rect direction. (It should be the same as the direction of
the SCSI connector "SCSI-A.")
3. If the cable or the terminator are not being connected to
the OUT side of the SCSI connector ("SCSI-D"), place the
connector cap over it.
1. Insert the MC-R433U 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-R433U 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-R433U.
2. Insert the MC-R433U slowly until the screw installation hole
located on the side of the MC-R433U 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.

Procedure for Attaching the Provided
SCSI Cable
●Connect the MC-R433U to the CD/DVD Library.
When necessary, two or more SCSI bus channels
may be used by adding the provided SCSI cable.
If the DVD-R is recorded intermittently due to an in-
sufficiency in the recording transfer rate on the SCSI
bus, the recording quality may deteriorate and play-
back malfunctions may occur.
Also refer to the instruction manual for the CD/

ENGLISH
<MC-R433U connection example>
1. Connect the power supply cable, control cable and SCSI
cable to the connectors at the rear of the MC-R433U.
䡵When using the MC-8100U, 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 the MC-8200U/8600U, connect power sup-
ply and control cables, which lead from the side of the
MC-R433U drive bay to the drive.
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.
䡵Te r min ate each point where the SCSI bus is terminated
physically.
•Setting of the built-in terminators
"Procedure for Setting the DIP Switch" on page 5
• Setting of the external terminators:
The use of active terminators is recommended.
1. TERM: Selection of the use of built-in terminators.
䡵When using the built-in terminators:
•With the MC-R433U unit located at a point where
the SCSI bus is physically terminated set its TERM
ON.
•With other MC-R433U units, set their TERMs to OFF.
䡵When not using the built-in terminators:
•Attach external terminators to the OUT terminals of
the SCSI connector.
•When using an external terminator, set all of the
TERMs of the MC-R433U to OFF.
䡵To improve the stability of SCSI bus communications, it
is recommended to use an active external terminator.
2. ID2, ID1, ID0: Setting of the SCSI ID No. of each drive.
䡵When setting the SCSI ID No., use a number that is not
being used by other SCSI devices on the same bus.
