333800ux/7100ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide
Retrofit and reinstall MO drives
If the customer is not keeping 4 MO drives for a mixed-media configuration, do not follow the
procedures in this section. Instead, continue with “Testing the conversion” on page 36.
If the customer is keeping their MO drives, they must be retrofitted and reinstalled in the
jukebox after the jukebox is converted and the UDO drives are installed.
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 jukebox with UDO technology.
The procedures for retrofitting and reinstalling are as follows.
1. Remove the SCSI and ACI ribbon cables from the MO drives. The power cable will be
re-used.
2. On each drive:
a. Attach the 50-pin to 68-pin converter (P/N 1200-1997) to the SCSI port of the drive.
b. Attach the LVD SCSI cable (larger of the ribbon cables, P/N AA969-63005) to the
68-pin side of the 50-pin to 68-pin converter.
c. Attach the autochanger interface cable (smaller of the ribbon cables, P/N
AA969-63007) to the drive.
3. Install the media detect station into the 11/12 drive location.
Note: If you are having problems installing the drive module in drive location 11/12, push the
module down and slightly to the right.
4. Slide the MO drives into drive locations 7/8 and 9/10.
5. Secure the MO drives to the jukebox using 2 T-20 torx screws, 1 on each side of each
drive.
6. Connect the drive cables to the interposer board (see Figure 12, page 32).
7. Attach the jumper cable at drive location 11/12.
8. Add the configuration module if required. If the customer already has a configuration
module, the one from the kit is not needed. You may return it to your sales representative
or discard it.
9. Attach the interposer board power cables.
10. Attach the terminator.
11. Attach the label cover over the old unused HVD and S/E ports of the buffer board.
12. Assure the new LVD terminator is in place, and notify the customer that the HVD and S/E
terminator can no longer be used.
