Chapter 2. Installing the Library

Powering On the Library and Host Computer
After correctly connecting the library to the host computer, perform the steps
described in the following sections.
Powering On the Library
Power on the library before powering on the host computer and take note of the
library’s initialization routine:
•The picker moves along the length of the library, checking the data cartridge
magazine (DCM) and tape drive(s) for data cartridges.
•The picker records the cartridge locations in the library firmware.
•The bar code reader records bar code information in the library firmware.
•The picker parks at the bottom of the library in front of Drive 1; its LED displays a
green light.
If you experience problems, see Troubleshooting the Library on page 61.
Powering On the Host Computer
The host computer initializes the library and establishes connectivity between the SCSI
devices at power up. The default settings for the SCSI IDs and device identification
settings are:
SCSI ID: 1 Sony SDX-300C or Sony SDX-500C or Sony SDX-700C
SCSI ID: 2 Sony SDX-300C or Sony SDX-500C or Sony SDX-700C
(If Drive 2 is installed)
SCSI ID: 3 Spectra 215
Note: Most UNIX operating systems create device driver files for the
library as soon as the library and drives have been detected. Refer
to your operating system documentation for information about the
naming and location of device files.
For information about common problems communicating over the SCSI bus, see
Troubleshooting SCSI Problems on page 63.
To change the SCSI IDs, see Changing SCSI IDs as Necessary on page 19.
