Installing and Configuring the Jukebox
Hardware
The jukebox must be installed and configured before you load
the jukebox driver software.
We cannot tell you how to physically install your specific
jukebox. The manufacturer does that in the jukebox
installation guide. But, we can give you a list of things to
double-check:
• Connect the COM cable to a COM port on your server, if
you are using serial communication
• Connect the SCSI cable to a SCSI port on the server
✓ Be sure to terminate properly, if required
• Set up the jukebox SCSI drive IDs. These are set on the
front panel of the NSM Mercury 40, and with switches on
the rear of the NSM CDR 100 XA, the Pioneer DRM-
1004X and the Pioneer DRM-5004X. More detailed
information can be found later in this section.
• Check the SCSI addresses to avoid SCSI bus conflicts
• Be sure each jukebox has its own host adapter
✓ For jukeboxes that use serial connections, be sure the
serial card is a 16550 high-speed serial card
• Plug in the AC and turn the jukebox on!
Other Important Considerations
In developing the jukebox driver, we determined the
following:
• You cannot install two jukeboxes from the same
manufacturer on a server. You can have two jukeboxes on
a server, but they must be different brands.
• You are limited to a total of 590 devices per server,
therefore, if you have installed a Pioneer DRM-5004X on a
server, you cannot have another jukebox on that server.
