Client Overlap Control is a management policy on controlling how the Web server handles overlapping control requests from multiple clients on the
authorized client list. The options include No Locking, Full Locking, and Time-Based Locking.
l No Locking allows multiple clients to have unrestricted access to control the system as long as they are on the authorized client list.
l Full Locking permits only one authorized client to issue control requests at a time. This client must release the lock by clicking the Home/Logout option
in the upper frame of the page to permit other authorized clients to have control access.
l Time-Based Locking is similar to Full Locking in that only one authorized client can have control access at once, but the lock is automatically released
after the specified number of seconds of inactivity have elapsed.
After selecting the appropriate policy by clicking the check box, click submit to save the changes.

Error Logs and Diagnostics Page
From the Error Log and Diagnostics page, you can run various tests on the autoloader. You can also view error and history logs, test progress, identify the
physical unit in a rack, or reset the system.
Viewing Error or History Logs:
NOTE: By entering an improper range of IP addresses, a user can possibly lock out all IP clients from administering the autoloader. If this
occurs, the user can restore the default values by running Restore Default from the front panel Configuration menu.
NOTE: Locking is only available to users on the authorized client list.
NOTE: The preferred method of autoloader update is through the RMU (Remote Management Unit web interface). The preferred method
for drive update is across the host SCSI interface using the Dell Firmware Update utility (DFU) supplied with the firmware update
package. Refer to the README file provided with the firmware update package.
NOTE: It is recommended that all firmware updated be performed with image files located on the local system hard drive as opposed to a
removable media device or network share.
NOTE: A Microsoft issue may keep a user from updating drive or loader firmware over the RMU interface. This can occur under Windows
Server®2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), or if a user has installed Microsoft Security Update MS05-019. This problem displays as a 6F
Communication Error message on the front panel with the warning light set. The RMU will continue to report the autoloader status as
Initialization.
For information and a workaround to this problem, go to Microsoft Technical Support Article 898060. If this problem occurs, the autoloader
should be restarted to avoid further communication errors.
NOTE: After firmware update is complete, the unit will report new revision levels to the host on startup. You may have to reconfigure you
host backup software to recognize the updated unit.
