WARNING:
This product can ONLY be used with an HP
approved power cord for your specific geographic region.
Use of a non-HP approved power cord may result in: 1) not
meeting individual country specific safety requirements;
2) insufficient conductor ampacity that could result in
overheating with potential personal injury and/or property
damage; and 3) an unapproved power cord could fracture
resulting in the internal contacts being exposed, which
potentially could subject the user to a shock hazard. HP
disclaims all liability in the event a non-HP approved power
cord is used.

Preparing the host and
verifying the connection
NOTE: It is important to connect to a SCSI HBA
that supports your autoloader's optimum
performance. Some models also require an HBA
that supports LUN scanning. Please refer to the
user manual for detailed recommendations and
more information about SCSI IDs.
Install a SCSI host bus adapter, software, and
compatible driver on the host computer.
Install the HP Library & Tape Tools diagnostic
utility available at www.hp.com/support/TapeTools
verify installation, upgrade firmware, and to aid in
troubleshooting.
