NSTALLATION
Before installing the library:
Make sure that the SCSI host bus adapter card installed in the host
computer, any necessary device drivers, and your backup software are
compatible.
Make certain that an Ultra 160 SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) and
any necessary drivers installed in the host computer are compatible with the
tape drive(s).
For optimum performance, use an Ultra160 SCSI host bus adapter.
Compatibility information is available at
www.tandbergdata.com .
If your software has not yet been certified for the Magnum 224,
StorageLibrary T24, or StorageLoader 2U LTO, you can use one of the
library’s emulation modes (see
page 53 ).
You can install the software on the host computer before or after library
installation. However, if you install the software first, you may need to
reconfigure it for use with the library after library installation is
complete.
Locate an appropriate area for the library. Select a location that has
adequate clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an
appropriate power source. The library is designed to operate either in a
desktop configuration, or in a standard 19-inch rack. To provide adequate air
flow, a ventilated rack is recommended.
The library must be operated in the horizontal position. Do not place the
library on its side, and do not place objects on top of the library.
