Tandberg Data Operation and Configuration
1. On the rear of the StorageLoader, attach the device connector of the SCSI
cable to one of the SCSI connectors, see figure 2.5.
2. Secure the cable with the thumbscrews on the connector.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the appropriate SCSI adapter on
your system and fasten it with the thumbscrews.
4. If the StorageLoader is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a SCSI bus
terminator to the free SCSI connector on the StorageLoader. Make sure that
the terminator is of the correct type for your SCSI system.
5. It is possible to daisy chain several SCSI devices on the SCSI bus. If you do,
the terminator must be connected to the last device on the bus. Note that
there are limitations to the SCSI cable length.
6. Do not connect this device to a SCSI raid controller/bus.
Step 8. Connecting the Ethernet Connector
To connect the StorageLoader to the Ethernet, use the provided cable from the
accessory kit box.
1. Insert one end of the cable into the StorageLoader Ethernet port. Push until it
snaps into place. Figure 2.5 show the position for Ethernet connection.
2. Connect the other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.
The Ethernet-based Remote management system is described in chapter 5, Remote
Management.
Step 9. Restarting Your System
It is recommended that all external SCSI devices, including the StorageLoader are
powered on before the computer system is re-started. Turn on the StorageLoader
first and wait while the StorageLoader runs a power up Self-test (like in step 5
above). When the display reports that the StorageLoader is in the “Idle“ state and the
green LED is on, the StorageLoader is ready. Then turn on the Server/PC and the
system is ready for further configuration and operation (described in chapter 4,
Operation and Configuration).
Note: The tape drive needs up to 40 seconds from power on until it’s active on the
SCSI bus. It is recommended to turn on the power at least 40 seconds before the
computer system is started.
Step 10. BCR: Labelling of cartridges
If your loader is equipped with a bar code reader and you want to use this
functionality, you need to attach bar code labels to the cartridges.
Note: You need to use StorageLoader specific bar code labels to ensure reliable
functionality of the bar code reader.
Cartridge labels must be oriented on the cartridges as shown in the figure.
