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.
