2.3.1 DR-R504X Writer Configuration
The DRM-5004X basic configuration typically includes two DR-D504X
Readers. The unit may be custom configured, however, to hold a
minimum of one drive unit to a maximum of four drive units. The
drive units may be any combination of the DR-D504X Reader and the
DR-R504X Writer. The DR-R504X Writer can be placed in any of the
four drive bays. It is usually placed on its own independent SCSI bus
to assure there are no interruptions while writing to a CD-R.
