8 Getting Started
For the most part, installation is simply a matter of checking all necessary SCSI connections installing the
application software (backup or otherwise) on the host computer and applying power. The Scalar Library defaults
set at the factory should be sufficient for most applications.
Requirements
l Space requirements: your Scalar Library has a footprint of 19.0" wide by 23.0" deep. The cabinet extends
40.5" above the floor. You must allow adequate clearance to the rear to allow air flow and enough room at the
front to open the door which extends outward 18.5" when perpendicular to the cabinet. The door is hinged on
the left side. The floor on which the Scalar Library will sit must be level.
l We assume that you are familiar with your computer system. The Scalar Library must be incorporated into the
host computer system. The backup software, SCSI interface and any additional SCSI interface cables must be
purchased separately.
l Necessary tools: No special tools are required to install the Scalar Library. If you are installing a host adapter
(SCSI controller) card at this time, refer to the installation manual for your host adapter.
Unpacking and Inspecting
Caution
If the operating environment differs from the storage environment by
15° C (30° F) or more, let the unit acclimate to the surrounding
environment for at least 12 hours.
Unpack all items from the carton. Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship the system in the
future.
Caution
You must ship the Scalar Library in the original or equivalent packing
materials or your warranty may be invalidated.
Checking the Accessories
Check to make certain that the following items are included with your Scalar Library:
l Power cord
l One DLT data cartridge
l One DLT cleaning cartridge
l Barcode labels
l One active SCSI bus terminator
l One SCSI Bus Jumper (daisy-chain cable)
l This manual
