10 1000ux/1900ux/2300ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide

Conversion options and kits

To convert a jukebox from a magneto optical (MO) system to an ultra-density optical (UDO)

or mixed-media system, first make the existing MO jukebox UDO-ready. After this is

complete, you can install new UDO drives in place of the MO drives, or in addition to

retrofitted existing MO drives. The following sections describe the kit required for each

option.

Converting an existing MO jukebox to UDO technology (making the unit

UDO-ready)

Converting an existing MO jukebox to UDO technology involves converting the jukebox and

installing twoUDO drives as described in Installing 2 UDO drives, page 35, and using Kit

AA994A. Items included in the kit are listed in Table 2.5

Retrofitting and reinstalling 14x MO drives for a mixed-media jukebox

If you are retrofitting and reinstalling MO drives, do so after you have made the jukebox

UDO-ready. Two existing 14x MO drives will be retrofitted and reinstalled using the

instructions in Retrofitting and reinstalling MO drives, page 36. Use Kit AA995A.

Note: This procedure is done only after making the jukebox UDO-ready.

Items included in the kit are listed in Table 3.
