11. Example of a SCSI Cable Connection
When interconnecting the JVC CD/DVD Library and the host computer with a SCSI cable, use a high-impedance,
shield cable with two clamp filters fitted near both connectors.

● An operational error may occur when the total length of the internal and external SCSI cables exceed 3 meters
(with SCSI-2, 10 Mbytes/sec. sync). When the SCSI bus is used as SCSI-2, 5 Mbytes/sec. async, the total length of
the cables can be extended to up to 6 meters.
● Regarding the length of the provided SCSI cable is approx. 1 m (3.3 feet).
● The length of the SCSI cable inside the JVC CD/DVD Library refer to "CONNECTING SCSI CABLES AND POWER
CORD" in the operation manual for the main unit.
● Be sure to lock the connectors of the external SCSI cable once they are connected.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1
Fit the clamp filter around the cable.
Signal disturbance may occur if a high-impedance, shielded SCSI cable is not used. Also, the above clamp
filters are necessary for the JVC CD/DVD Library in order to comply with EMI Standard 'EN55022 Class A'.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
Read the following before installing this drive in your Library for the first time.
To mount this drive on the MC-8100U/8200U/8600U in your Library, the firmware of the CD/DVD Library should be
upgraded. Please change the ROM in the CD/DVD Library to the ROM provided with this drive.
For the ROM replacement method, consult your dealer or nearest JVC-authorized service agent.
Do not set the Power switch of the CD/DVD Library to ON until all of the work described above has been
completed.
Tighten until the dabs
are completely locked.
