4. Library Mode (Default: Random)
a. Select Configure Library > Configure Library Mode.
b. Select Set Random Mode or Configure Sequential Mode, and press Enter.
Random
- In random mode, the library allows the server's (host's) application software to select
any data cartridge in any order.
Sequential
- In sequential mode, the library's firmware predefines the selection of the cartridges.
After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select the first available cartridge found
(counting from the lowest Column/Tier position through the highest cartridge position in your
library) for loading into the drive.
v Loop - Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads the cartridge in the lowest Column/Tier
cartridge position after the cartridge in the highest Column/Tier cartridge position is filled with
data and sent back to its home position. This procedure allows endless backup operations
without user interaction.
v Autoload - Sequential mode with autoload mode ON loads the first available cartridge (the
lowest Column/Tier cartridge position that contains a cartridge) automatically if the library
powers ON, or resets, with an empty drive. If the library powers ON with a cartridge already in
the drive, sequential mode starts from the home position of that cartridge, unless the host issues
a rewind and unload command to the drive. In which case the next cartridge in sequence is
loaded into the drive.
To start sequential mode if autoload is OFF, use the
Move Cartridge
command to load the first
cartridge into the drive. The sequence starts from the home position of that cartridge. Cartridges
need not to be in contiguous slots.
To stop sequential mode, use the
Move Cartridge command to unload the drive. This command
cancels sequential mode; the next sequential cartridge is NOT loaded.
To restart sequential mode, use the
Move Cartridge
command again to load a cartridge; the
loading sequence resumes from the home position of that cartridge.
c. Press Enter again to apply the setting, or Cancel to reject the setting.
d. Press Cancel to backtrack through the menu hierarchy.

Date/Time - Enter the local time and date manually if you do not plan to use a network-based time
