Introduction
Cartridge Pre-Check
. Whenever you power up, your Scalar 218FC maps all cartridge locations. With
barcode scan enabled, the barcode scanner will scan the barcode label on each cartridge and build a log
of valid cartridge locations.
Downloadable
Firmware
. Your Scalar 218FC and the DLT drives employ Flash EEPROM technology.
The library firmware is easily updated using any computer and an associated serial communications
application. The drive firmware is updated on-site by loading a firmware update tape (“FUP” tape).
Built-in
Diagnostics
. Diagnostic firmware tells you when it is time to clean the drive. It also reports
diagnostic results, and drive operating status. Embedded data logging of operational and drive errors can
aid you in failure analysis.
