Setup Information

Setup Information

The setup information enables a host computer to identify and communicate with the tape library.
Setup information is stored in non-volatile random access memory.
In the event of a power outage, the setup information is retained.
When shipped, the tape library is set to the defaults shown in Figure 32.

If the defaults are acceptable, the tape library is ready for normal operation immediately after power on.
If the setup must be changed (for example, to change the SCSI ID address), see the instructions in 'Setup Procedure'.

When the tape ibrary is powered up or reset, the setup parameters can be redefined. (The tape library can be reset by simultaneously pressing and holding the MENU, CYCLE, and SELECT control keys for approximately six seconds.
This resets only the library but not the tape drives.)
