NEO 200s/400s User Guide
In some cases, (such as Library Mode), the entry of one option precludes any other options
from being selected. In such cases, the details of the non-applicable options are not shown.

Configuring Date and Time

Use this menu item to set the current date and time in your library.

Preparing the Host

Follow these general guidelines:
• Make sure that your backup application supports the SAS or Fibre Channel Host Bus
Adapter (HBA).
• If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system administrator
before turning host power OFF.

Verifying the Connection

1. Confirm that the host server operating system recognized the library. In Microsoft
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or in Windows 2000 you can verify this by going
to: Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Tape Drive
and/or Medium Changer.
2. When the host server is powered ON, after the host server detects the drives and
library, install the software and/or drivers that are compatible with the library.
Backup software packages may require additional software or licensing to
communicate with the library.

Cartridge Magazines

The library has removable magazines. Magazine access is password protected. For safety
reasons, the accessor motion is stopped when a magazine is removed.
The magazines can be released using the Operator Control Panel or the Web User
Interface. In case the Operator Control Panel or Web User Interface initiated process has
failed or the library no longer has power, a manual emergency release is available.
NOTE: To manually release a magazine, see
10400367-001 04/2012
This manual process should only be used if the magazine cannot be released using the
Operator Control Panel or the Web User Interface.
