1.1.9 Setting SCSI Termination
Only the first and last device in a SCSI chain should be terminated.
In a basic two-reader configuration, the computer’s host adapter card
is terminated and the SCSI Termination Block included with the unit
is placed on SCSI Port B of the unit. The SCSI termination of each
CD-ROM Reader is set to OFF when it is shipped; the CD-R Writers
are shipped with SCSI termination ON. Termination can be set using
DIP switches on the right front side of each drive. See
Chapter 2,
Features for details.
1.1.10 Reading Data from Discs
First a disc is selected from the disc tray, transported to a specific
DR-D504X CD-ROM Reader, placed into the reader and clamped into
place. This sequence is controlled by SCSI commands sent from the
host computer to the CD-ROM Jukebox. Next, the host computer
selects the SCSI ID of the drive unit containing the disc. It then sends
CD-ROM commands to read data from the disc. If a DOS machine is
used as a host computer there will be two or three device drivers
installed, one for the Jukebox, one for CD-ROM Readers and one for
CD-R Writers. For other computer operating systems, consult with
specific software vendors.
1.1.11 Writing Data to Discs
A disc is selected from the disc tray, transported to the DR-R504X
CD-R writer, placed into the writer and clamped into place. This
sequence is controlled by SCSI commands sent from the host computer
to the CD-ROM jukebox. The host computer indicates the SCSI ID of
the drive unit, then sends commands to write data to the selected disc.
Consult with specific software vendors for more information about
writing CD-R discs. See
