Tandberg Data Operation and Configuration
Important: The warranty does not cover damage to the loader, shipped without the
locking screw properly installed. See section 6.4, Reinstalling the Transport Lock ,
on how to re-install the transport lock.
Step 5. Running Power-On Selftest
After the transport lock is removed, the loader will continue running its power-on
selftest and doing an inventory of its cartridges.
The word Idle and the cartridge map will appear on the default display screen. If the
self-diagnostics and the inventory sequence are successfully completed, the green
LED will illuminate. The StorageLoader is now ready to be installed in the system.
If a problem occurs during the power-on sequence, the StorageLoader will display
an error message on the display. Refer to chapter 4.2 and 7, to learn the procedures
for resolving the problem.
Step 6. Setting the SCSI Address
The SCSI address is a unique address that identifies the unit connected to the SCSI
bus. The StorageLoader uses one address for the tape drive. The SCSI address can
be configured through the operator buttons and the display on the front panel. In
most cases the default addresses can be used. The default SCSI address for the tape
drive is 5.
To set the SCSI address for the built in tape drive, refer to section 4.4.2, SCSI Setup
for more information. You may also wish to reserve a magazine slot for a cleaning
cartridge, and set a security password at this time. Once some settings are changed,
the StorageLoader and the drive may, if required, automatically reboot.
Step 7. Connecting the SCSI Bus Cable
Guidelines before connecting the SCSI cable:
A) Before the SCSI bus cable is connected to the StorageLoader, turn the
StorageLoader main power switch off.
B) Make sure that your host system is in a state where a new SCSI device can
be safely connected to the SCSI bus.
C) Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.
1. Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus
2. Add 15 cm (31.5 inch) for the internal cable length in the StorageLoader.
3. The maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 m (39 ft) if the
number of SCSI devices exceeds two.
D) Before the StorageLoader is powered on and the system is restarted, make
sure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated. If the StorageLoader
terminates the SCSI bus, connect the terminator from the accessory kit box
into on the SCSI connectors on the back plane. See figure 3.10.
