11 Setting the date and time

This option sets the date and time used by the Autoloader to record

NOTE:
When setting the hours, the time is based on a 24‐hour clock. There
is no a.m. or p.m. designation. For example, 1:00 p.m. is 13:00.
NOTE:
The Autoloader time does not adjust itself for daylight saving time;
you must adjust the time through the front panel or web‐based
management interface.

Setting an administrator password provides access to the

13 Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Sun recommends leaving the Fibre Channel ports at the default
settings of Port Speed: Automatic and Port Type: Auto Detect.
With these settings, the tape drive will choose the appropriate
configuration. See the Sun StorageTek
SL48 Tape Library User and service guide on the documentation CD for
instructions on changing the Fibre Channel configuration.

Magazine release

When possible, release the magazines from the control panel or
web‐based interface. If you must remove the magazines from both
sides of the Autoloader at the same time or when the Autoloader is
not powered on: 1) insert a straightened paper clip or small pin about
1.5 cm (0.6 inch) into the magazine release hole, while 2) another
person pulls out the magazine from that side.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force the pin once you encounter resistance. Doing so can
damage the Autoloader.
