SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide

• Ensure the autoloader is properly terminated. If the autoloader is the only SCSI

device other than the SCSI host adapter on the selected SCSI bus, it must be

terminated. Likewise, if the autoloader is physically the last SCSI device on the

SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Only the devices physically at the beginning

and end of the SCSI bus should be terminated. If the host is located at the

beginning of the SCSI bus, the host should already have a terminator installed.

• Verify the connection between the autoloader and host by going to

Changer in Microsoft

2000, Microsoft Windows XP and Windows

Server

2003. For more information on verifying the connection of SCSI devices,

consult the operating system documentation.

Windows Operating System Support

There are two device drivers associated with the SuperLoader 3 autoloader. One for the

autoloader itself, and a second for the tape drive within the autoloader.

Note: Device drivers are required if you intend to use the Microsoft Windows native

backup application. Commercial backup applications provide all necessary

device driver support.

Refer to www.quantum.com for a list of compatible backup applications.

Please note that Microsoft Windows NT

does not include native support for

autoloaders. A backup application must be used if using the SuperLoader

under Microsoft Windows NT.
