Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides a reference of commonly asked questions and their answers.

FAQs When Getting Started

The following are questions you may encounter when first setting up your Scalar 24.

What Operator Panel menus are required to get started?

You can use the Setup Wizard to walk you through configuring your Scalar 24. Refer to
Wizard on page 8-4. You can also configure your Scalar 24 manually by using the Setup menu.
Refer to Setup Menu on page 8-3 for step-by-step instructions and descriptions of each submenu.

How do I set a SCSI ID?

Your Scalar 24 has two types of SCSI IDs. There is one for the library and a separate SCSI ID for
each drive. Refer to Set SCSI IDs

What type of SCSI card is required?

The Scalar 24 supports a Low Voltage Differential/Single-Ended (LVD/SE) SCSI interface. When
installing a SCSI interface card on the host computer, install a card that supports LVD. A label on
the back of the drive module next to the connectors indicate their type. For more information, see
Connecting to a SCSI Bus

How do I cable the library to the SCSI card?

First, make sure that your host computer has a SCSI interface card. If your host computer did not
come with SCSI capability, you will need to install a SCSI adapter. Refer to the manual that comes
with your host adapter for specific directions.
Once the card is installed, locate the 68-pin LVD SCSI cable that came with your Scalar 24. For
information and diagrams of cabling to the SCSI card, see
