(SuperLoader DLT and SuperLoader LTO)
Quick Start Guide
(2)
Install four screws (two per side) to secure the support
brackets to the SuperLoader brackets.
g.
Verify that the SuperLoader is level. Make installation
adjustments as needed.
h.
When the SuperLoader is level, tighten the screws securing
the SuperLoader tabs to the front rails, the SuperLoader
brackets to the support brackets, and the support brackets
to the rear rails.
Step 5:
Establish the SCSI Connection
a.
Make sure you have the supplied VHDCI SCSI cable and SCSI
terminator required for this part of the installation.
Note:
If the host computer is connected to a network,
check with the system administrator before turning off
power.
b.
Properly turn off all peripheral devices connected to the host
computer, and then turn off the host computer.
Caution:
When installing SCSI cables, make sure you
correctly align all SCSI connectors to avoid bending
connector pins. Bent or damaged connector pins will
cause the SCSI connection to fail.
c.
Attach the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI ports at the back
of the SuperLoader. Tighten the screws to secure the cable
connection.
d.
Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI host
adapter card.
e.
Complete the SCSI connection by doing one of the following:
•
If the SuperLoader is the last device on the SCSI bus,
attach the SCSI terminator to the open port on the back
of the SuperLoader. Tighten the screws to secure the
terminator connection.
•
If the SuperLoader is not the last device on the SCSI bus,
continue the SCSI bus using the open port on the back of
the SuperLoader.
Note:
Do not turn on the host computer or any
devices connected to the host computer until you have
configured the SuperLoader and installed tape cartridges.
Step 6:
Turn on the SuperLoader
a.
Connect the SuperLoader power cord as follows:
(1)
Make sure the power switch at the back of the
SuperLoader is set to
0
(off).
(2)
Connect the socket end of the power cord to the power
connector on the back of the SuperLoader.
(3)
Connect the power cord plug to a grounded electrical
outlet.
b.
Turn on the SuperLoader by setting the power switch at the
back of the SuperLoader to
1
(on).
The SuperLoader performs its power-on sequence, which
can be viewed on the LCD screen on the front panel of
the SuperLoader.
