SETTING ELEMENT ADDRESSES
3.2.2 EFFECT OF OPERATOR PANEL RESETS
An operator panel reset has the following effects:
 If the autoloader is connected to the SCSI bus, the SCSI bus goes to the Bus
Free phase.
 The checksum of the autoloader’s flash code is validated.
 All autoloader parameters are reset to their default or saved values.
 The autoloader performs its power-on self-test.
After an operator panel reset, the autoloader will respond on the SCSI bus
within 15 seconds.
3.2.3 EFFECT OF SCSI BUS AND BUS DEVICE RESETS
A SCSI bus reset or device reset has the following effects:
 If the autoloader is connected to the SCSI bus, the SCSI bus goes to the Bus
Free phase.
 All autoloader parameters are reset to their default or saved values.
 A SCSI bus reset also resets the tape drive.
After a SCSI bus or device reset, the autoloader will respond on the SCSI bus
within 250 msec.
3.3 SETTING ELEMENT ADDRESSES
If you want, you can assign different element addresses to the autoloader’s
tape drive, cartridge loader, and cartridge cells (the data transfer, medium
transport, and storage elements, respectively). The Figure 2-1 on page 2-3
shows the default element address assigned to each element in the autoloader.
If desired, you can use the MODE SELECT (15h) command to change the
element addresses assigned to the different types of elements. The element
addresses for the cartridge cells are numbered consecutively, with the first
address being the starting element address that you specify for the storage
elements. To view the current addresses, use the MODE SENSE (1Ah)
command.
