StorageLoader
Step 9. Restarting Your System
It is recommended that all external SCSI devices, including the StorageLoader are
powered on before the computer system is re-started. After restarting your system,
including the StorageLoader, the StorageLoader will run a power-on Selftest (like in
step 5 above). When the display reports that the StorageLoader is in the “Idle“ state
and the green LED is on, the StorageLoader is ready for further configuration and
operation.
Note: The tape drive needs up to 40 seconds from power on until it’s active on the
SCSI bus. It is recommended to turn on the power at least 40 seconds before the
computer system is started.
Step 10. BCR: Labeling of cartridges
If your loader is equipped with a bar code reader and you want to use this
functionality, you need to attach bar code labels to the cartridges.
Note:
You need to use StorageLoader specific bar code labels to ensure reliable
functionality of the bar code reader. The bar code labels for LTO and DLT
cartridges differ.
Cartridge labels
must
be oriented on the cartridges as shown in the figures below for
LTO cartridges and DLT cartridges respectively.
