Reviewing Drive Default Settings

Switch 4 enables or disables the Power-On Self-Test diagnostics that the
drive performs when powered on. By default, the drive responds to SCSI
commands only after it successfully completes the Power-On Self-Test
(about 5 seconds). To prevent the drive from performing the Power-On
Self-Test when powered-up, set switch 4 to the OFF position.

Switches: 5, 6, 7, 8
Default Setting: Microsoft Windows 98/Me/XP/NT/2000/2003 Server
Switches 5 through 8 configure the internal tape drive for a host
operating system. By default, these switches are all ON. This setting
configures the drive for a Microsoft Windows 98/Me/XP/NT/2000/
2003 Server operating system.
To use the internal tape drive with a different operating system:
• Set switches 5 through 8 to select the appropriate settings.
• Refer to the operating system drive configuration supplement for
information on scripts and other settings for various non-Windows
operating systems. This supplement is available on your Tape
Resource CD and at www.quantum.com/support.
