Setting Up Your Scalar 24; Preparing The Host Computer - ADIC SCALAR 24 Installation And Operation Manual

Setting up your Scalar 24

After you have set up your host computer, you need to configure your library. Your Scalar 24 provides you
with the unique ability to set up the library using a Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard guides you step-by-
step through the setup process ensuring that all elements are configured in the proper order.
Your library is shipped with a default configuration that you can use. The default settings are as follows:
Option:
I/E Slot
Partitioning
AutoClean
SCSI Mode
Library SCSI ID
Drive 1 SCSI ID
Drive 2 SCSI ID
Inquiry
Timeout Interval
Password
Key Click
Scanner
If you wish to change any of these configuration settings, you can either use the Setup Wizard or change
them manually using the Setup menu. For more information on any of these options or to change the default
settings, refer to Setup Wizard
