without the transport locking screw properly installed. See Chapter 6.3.
Reinstalling the Transport Lock for instructions on how to re-install the transport
locking screw.

3.1.5. Step 5. Running Power-On Selftest

After the transport lock is removed, the loader will continue running its 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. To learn the procedures for resolving the problem, please refere to Chapter 4.2. Front
Panel Display Modes, and Chapter 8.Troubleshooting.

3.1.6. Step 6. Setting the SCSI ID (SCSI only)

The SCSI ID is a unique address that identifies a unit connected to a SCSI bus. The StorageLoader
uses one SCSI ID for the tape drive. The SCSI ID can be configured through the front panel interface.
In most cases the default SCSI ID can be used. The default SCSI ID for the tape drive is 0. The
StorageLoader is on LUN 1. The Tape Drive is on LUN 0.
To set the SCSI ID for the built in tape drive, refer to Chapter 4.4.2. SCSI/SAS 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, or if required, the StorageLoader and the
drive might automatically reboot.

3.1.7. Step 7. Connecting the SCSI Bus Cable (SCSI only)

Guidelines before connecting the SCSI cable
1. Before the SCSI bus cable is connected to the StorageLoader, turn the StorageLoader main
power switch off.
2. Make sure that your host system is in a state where a new SCSI device can be safely
connected to the SCSI bus.
3. Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.
a. Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus
b. Add 15 cm (31.5 inch) for the internal cable length in the StorageLoader.
c. The maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 m (39 ft) if the number of
SCSI devices exceeds two.
4. Before the StorageLoader is powered on and the system is restarted, make sure that the
SCSI bus is properly terminated. If the StorageLoader terminates the SCSI bus, connect the
terminator from the accessory kit box on one of the SCSI connectors on the back plane.
5. Make sure that LUN scanning is enabled in the servers BIOS.
