After configuring the autoloader, check the setup by performing the suggested
exercises below. While these exercises are not required, it is a good idea to
verify that your software and hardware are properly communicating before
you begin operations.
! Use the Demo Menu to exercise the hardware. This determines whether the
autoloader hardware components are operating properly. See page 48 for
more information.
! Use the application software to load and unload one or more cartridges into
the drive. This determines whether the software, autoloader, and drive are
communicating properly.
! Back up several megabytes of data and perform a comparison check on the
backed up data. This determines whether the software and drive are
communicating properly.
If the autoloader and drive are not operating as expected, see Chapter 6 for
troubleshooting information. If there is an error code displayed on the LCD,
see page 67 for a list of error codes and corrective actions. If you cannot solve
the problem yourself, contact your service provider or Exabyte (see page iv ).
