Configuration
Individual MiniLibrary Base Modules in all newly assembled systems must be
configured as described in the next section. In addition, the MiniLibrary
System is designed with several configuration options, each offering multiple
settings to support a variety of applications and platforms. The setting of each
option is stored in non-volatile memory in the module. For most applications,
you will not need to change the factory default settings.
To change settings, you need to use the control panel on the Expansion Unit.
For an overview of how the control panel works, and a description of the
functions of the buttons, indicators and display, refer to sections entitled
Entering the Menu Mode, Exiting the Menu Mode, and Navigating Through
the Menu Structure in Chapter 2, Operation.
The settings can be changed using the procedure described in the section
entitled A Configuration Example - Setting the SCSI ID, covered later. Before
changing any configuration settings, consult your host system documentation
to determine which settings may need to be changed.
Setting Base Module (slave) Configuration
IMPORTANT: All MiniLibrary base modules are shipped configured as standalone
systems. Before powering up the Expansion Unit in a MiniLibrary system for the first time,
you must reconfigure each of the base modules in the system as a slave. To do so,
perform the following procedure on each base module.
1. Turn on the power switch on the Base Module. After a series of self-test
screens, the screen shown in Figure 3-18 appears:
