locking screw properly installed. See section 6.4, Reinstalling the Transport Lock ,
on how to re-install the transport lock.
Step 5. Running Power-On Selftest
After the transport lock is removed, the loader will continue running it's power-on
selftest and doing an inventory of its cartridges.
The word Idle and the cartridge map will appear on the default display screen. If the
self-diagnostics and the inventory sequence are successfully completed, the green
LED will illuminate. The StorageLoader is now ready to be installed in the system.
If a problem occurs during the power-on sequence, the StorageLoader will display
an error message on the display. Refer to chapter 7, Troubleshooting, to learn the
procedures for resolving the problem.
Step 6. Setting the SCSI Address
The SCSI address is a unique address that identifies the unit connected to the SCSI
bus. The StorageLoader uses two SCSI addresses or Id's. One is for the loader
robotics controller and the other is for the tape drive. The SCSI addresses can be
configured through the operator buttons and the display on the front panel. In most
cases the default addresses can be used. The default SCSI address for the
StorageLoader robotics is 4 and the tape drive has SCSI address set to 5.
To set the SCSI addresses for the StorageLoader and the built in tape drive, refer to
section 4.4.2, SCSI Setup for more information. You may also wish to reserve a
magazine slot for a cleaning cartridge, and set a security password at this time. Once
some settings are changed, the StorageLoader and the drive may, if required,
automatically reboot.
Step 7. Connecting the SCSI Bus Cable
Guidelines before connecting the SCSI cable:
A) Before the SCSI bus cable is connected to the StorageLoader, turn the
StorageLoader power switch off.
B) Make sure that your host system is in a state were a new SCSI device can be
safely connected to the SCSI bus.
C) Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.
1. Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus
2. Add 80 cm (31.5 inch) for the internal cable length in the StorageLoader.
3. The maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 m (39 ft) if the
number of SCSI devices exceeds two.
4. For an SE SCSI bus, be very careful regarding bus length. The normal
combination has a SE bus transfer speed of 160 Mbyte/s with a maximum
bus length of 3 m (9.8ft) and up to 4 SCSI devices connected. If your SE
system operates with a different transfer speed or have more than 4 SCSI
