receiving power. If it is not, check the power connectors and your
power source.

Preparing the Host and Verifying the Connection

If necessary, install a SCSI host adapter, software, and compatible
driver(s). Refer to the manuals for the host computer and the SCSI host
adapter for detailed instructions. In addition, follow these general
guidelines:
• When the host server is powered on, install software, and/or
driver(s) that are compatible with the ValueLoader (see Installing the
Device Drivers on page 15). Software compatibility information is
available at
www.Quantum.com
. Most backup software packages
require an additional module to communicate with the ValueLoader
robotics.
• If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system
administrator before turning off power.
• Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use
wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when handling internal
components.
Note: To disconnect all power from the ValueLoader, remove the
power cable from the outlet.
