10 3800ux/7100ux 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 four UDO drives as described in “Install UDO drives in MO modules” on page 31,

and using Kit AA991A. Items included in the kit are listed in Table 2. Converting to a unit

with 10 UDO drives will also require kit AA992A described in the next section.

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. Four existing 14x MO drives will be retrofitted and reinstalled using the

instructions in “Retrofit and reinstall MO drives” on page 33. Use Kit AA992A.

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

Items included in the kit are listed in Table 3.
