<MC-R434U connection example>
1. Connect the power supply cable, control cable and SCSI
cable to the connectors at the rear of the MC-R434U.
When using the MC-8100LU, the No. of the cable must
always correspond to the No. of the drive bay to which it
is being connected. If a cable with the wrong number is
connedted, it will lead to the equipment malfunctioning.
When using an MC8200LU/8600LU, connect the con-
trol cables which lead from the side of the drive bay where
the MC-R434 is to be inserted.
Insert all connectors firmly.
SCSI cables are connected as a daisy chain connec-
tion. Each connector should be connected to the drive
positions as illustrated in the diagram.
· The SCSI cable, which is built into the MC-8100LU/
8200LU/8600LU standard models, terminates at the
location where the connection is physically terminated.

2. Connect the two LVD power cables (6P) to the SE-LVD
conversion board.
Both cables have identical connector types, so that ei-
ther cable can be connected to either connector on the
SE-LVD conversion board.
3. Connect the internal SCSI (SE) cable (50P) to the SE-LVD
conversion board.
The other end of the internal SCSI (SE) cable is con-
nected to the library SCSI board in the library.
4. Connect the internal SCSI (LVD) cable (68P) to the drives.
The other end of the internal SCSI (LVD) cable is con-
