This section describes how to:
Set SCSI IDs for the library and tape drive(s)
Set SCSI parity checking
Setting the SCSI IDs
The library and its tape drive(s) are independent SCSI devices that can be
attached to the same SCSI bus or to separate SCSI buses. Each device attached
to a SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID within that bus. Because you may
have multiple buses, the library does not check for duplicate SCSI IDs. Make
sure you do not assign duplicate IDs within a bus.
Automatic Tape Drive Cleaning
Cleaning Slot
Cleaning Cycles
Autoclean These options allow you to set up automatic tape drive cleaning.
Note: To use automatic cleaning, a cleaning cartridge must be
installed (see page 16 ).

Bar Code Scanning
POST Bar Code
Scan
You can set this option to cause the library to automatically scan all
bar code labels whenever the door is opened and closed or the
library is powered on. By default, this option is turned off.

Options” on
page 46
Verify Barcode
Checksums
This option instructs the library to verify checksums on bar code
labels. By default, this option is turned off.
Number of Slots Used
Max
Addressable
Slot
This option allows you to configure the library so that it uses and
reports fewer slots than are physically present. You can set this
option if your software application bases licensing on the number of
slots being used and you are using fewer than the full number of
slots in the library. If your software does not monitor the number of
slots, you do not need to set this option. By default, the library
reports 21 slots.

LCD Security By setting LCD security, you prevent unauthorized personnel from
disrupting the operation of the library through the operator panel.
