Chapter 4 – Configuration
This chapter describes:
•
Setting up initial system configuration parameters with individual setup and
utility options
•
Entering characters into a menu option using the Control Panel
•
Protecting the system with a password.
Before using the SLR Autoloader for the first time, you must set specific
configuration parameters:
•
Setup options
—Setup menu under Autoloader and SCSI Options submenus
•
Utility options
—Utilities menu under Maintenance, Diagnostics, and Security
submenus.
Note that if any setup options are changed, the new values will immediately be
saved in Non-Volatile memory. However, some of the options will also require the
loader to be rebooted for the change to tale full effect. If any such options are
changed, the loader will automaticly reboot when exiting from the main menu.
Setup Options
Autoloader Options
Unload Mode
— Determines how the loader will react to moves that require a
drive to be in the unloaded state. Setting this value to
Implicit
indicates that an
unload is implied, causing the loader to issue an unload command to the drive when
necessary.
Explicit
indicates that the host must explicitly issue an unload to the
drive before issuing a move command to the loader.
Numbering Base
— Sets the base for the numbering system.
One Based
indicates
that all element numbering begins at 1 (Drive 1 and Slots 1 through 8).
Zero Based
indicates that the elements begin at 0 (Drive 0 and Slots 0 through 7). This value
affects only the front panel display.
