5.5 Reinitializing the Autochanger Controller PCA RAM
after Service
All the RAM on the autochanger controller PCA is battery backed and is,
therefore, non-volatile. Most of the RAM is initialized to known values
at powerup. Variables that are not changed are customer configurations,
autochanger logs, autochanger odometers, element status variables, and variables
that help the autochanger recover from power failures. These variables are set by
Configs 16 and 18.
NVRAM must be reinitialized after replacing the autochanger controller PCA,
after updating or changing the autochanger controller PCA firmware, and after
adding drive mechanisms.
5.5.1 Variables Set by Configuration 16
•
SCSI address of the autochanger
•
Configurable options set to system defaults (ROM-dependent)
Whether the autochanger should report recovered errors (CONF 27)
Whether the autochanger should rotate the mailslot inwards when in
secure mode (CONF 31)
Whether the autochanger should automatically initialize element status
when cartridges are found in unexpected places (ROM-dependent)
•
Drive status variables
Reported SCSI address of the drive set to system defaults
Clear the source of the disk in the drive
•
RS-232 configuration set to system defaults
Baud rate = 19,200
Word length = 8
Start/stop bits = 1
Parity = none
•
Power fail variables
Whether the last move was started is set to FALSE
Clear the state of the last move
