3. Connect the SCSI cables to the tape drive.
CAUTION
To avoid Damaging the tape drive, make sure the library is powered
off when you connect it to the SCSI bus.
NOTE
When you power on the library, the new tape drive automatically
assumes the SCSI ID of the old drive. If desired, you can change the
SCSI ID for the drive, as described in the Configuration chapter.
Resuming Operation
1. Reconnect the power cord and power on the library.
WARNING
Do not power on the library with an empty drive bay. You must install a
tape drive or service access cover in each of the bays.
2. If installed a new tape drive, set the SCSI ID for the drive. If you replaced an existing drive,
the new tape drive automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old drive.
You may want to use the Demo Menu to ensure that the robot and the newly installed tape drive are
communicating correctly. (See Using the Demo Menu in the Library Operation chapter.) You may also
want to enable security if you disabled it. (See Setting the LCD Security Option in the Configuration
chapter.)
If Problems Occur...
If your library does not resume normal operation after calibration, check the following:
•
Are the devices on each SCSI bus attached to the library all LVD?
•
Are the SCSI buses terminated?
•
Are the SCSI cables firmly connected to the library and host computer?
•
Are the SCSI IDs unique for the devices on each SCSI bus?
•
Is the library operating in the correct control mode? (For most applications, the control
mode should be set to SCSI.)
