Step 3 – Prepare the host computer
Make certain the SCSI host bus adapter card installed in the computer
and the application software are compatible with the Scalar AIT 220.
You can obtain software compatibility information about ADIC
products from ADIC’s internet site (http://www.adic.com).
Note:
If your application only supports a single AIT tape drive, you
can run the library in one of the sequential modes (see page 46
and page 153).
You can install the software application on the host computer before or
after library installation. However, if you install the software first, you
may need to reconfigure it for use with the library.
Step 4 – Prepare the library for installation
Prepare the library as follows:
S Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from your
body by touching a known grounded surface, such as your
computer's metal chassis.
S Locate an appropriate area for the library. The library must have a
level surface near a readily accessible outlet. (If you have a
standalone library, adjust the feet to make it level.) In addition, there
must be approximately six inches (15 cm) of open area behind the
library for adequate air flow.
