Setup Procedure


Setup Procedure

The tape library comes preset to meet most customer needs.
If, however, you need to change a setup parameter, the following procedure explains how to make changes.

During this procedure the information on row 1 of the operator panel shows the current setup information; row 2 shows the alternative setting.
You can make changes to the settings by pressing the MENU, CYCLE, and SELECT control keys:



To change a setup parameter:
  1.  Turn the front door key to the 12 o'clock position to enable the robotics and the operator panel.
  2.  Enter the initialization/setup mode by powering the tape library on or, if it is  already on, simultaneously pressing the MENU, CYCLE, SELECT control keys.
     (After approximately six seconds the tape library starts the initialization routine.)
     While the tape library is going through its initialization routine, rows 3 and 4 on the operator panel show:

            PRESS a key to
            Queue SETUP
     

      -Attention- If you inadvertently enter the setup mode by pressing any one of the  control keys during library initialization, do not press the SELECT control key (right key) at any time, as this action will  alter the setup parameter currently shown on the operator panel.
     To exit the setup mode without affecting any of the setup parameters, recycle the power (press the power switch off and then  on) or repeatedly press the MENU control key (left key) until you exit the setup mode.

  3.  Press any one of the three control keys to enter the setup mode.

     After the tape library finishes its initialization routine, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

            SCSI ID = 6
            Change to  7?
       (This is a query to change the SCSI ID for the tape library controller.)

  4.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           SCSI PARITY ON
           Change to  OFF?
     

  5.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           INQUIRY=IBM XXX7
           Change to  YYY7?
       Where XXX7 is the current machine type and YYY7 is the alternative machine type.
     (Machine types are either 3447 or 7337.)

  6.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           3 of 9 CHECK ON
           Change to  OFF?
     

  7.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           AUTO INV-MC OFF
           Change to ON?
     

  8.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           AUTO INV-Pwr OFF
           Change to ON?
     

  9.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           Scroll menu ON
           Change to  OFF?
     

  10.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           Autoloader OFF
           Change to  ON?
     

     or, after pressing the MIDDLE key, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           Autoloader OFF
           Change to  LOOP?
     

  11.  After pressing the MENU or SELECT keys, rows 1 and 2 on the operator panel show:

           EXIT
           Restart Setup ?
     

    Note: If you inadvertently press the SELECT key during the setup procedure, you may alter your setup selections.
     Therefore, before you exit setup, it is recommended that you quickly review and verify the setup  parameters that you have selected.
     To review the parameters, press the SELECT key, then press the MENU (left) key repeatedly until you have  examined and verified each parameter.
     When the operator panel displays the preceding screen, go to step 12.

  12.  Press the MENU key to exit the setup procedure. The tape library is ready for normal operation.
