Make certain the application software you plan to use is
compatible with the autoloader. You can obtain software
compatibility information about Exabyte products from Exabyte’s
web site (www.exabyte.com).
Note:
If your application only supports an Exabyte or Sony tape
drive and not the EZ17 autoloader, you can run the
autoloader in Sequential mode (see
page 38 and page 53 ).
If your application does not support the Exabyte EZ17, but
does support the Exabyte 210 library, you can run the
autoloader in 210 Emulation mode (see
page 36 ).
You can install the application software on the host computer
before or after autoloader installation. However, if you install the
software first, you may need to reconfigure it for use with the
autoloader.
