DN UP SAVE ABORT
INITIAL DEN:1600
Display line one now describes the alternate functions of the four push-button
switches (in order from left to right).
•
Pressing the
DN
( ) or
UP
( ) switches scrolls through the list of available
selections in opposite directions. (In the example, the available densities are
displayed.)
•
Pressing the
SAVE
(ENTER) switch saves the indicated value as the new value,
exits the change mode and returns to the original display.
•
Pressing the
ABORT
(EXIT) switch exits the change mode without changing the
value, and returns to the original display. The new (or current) value will
always display when out of the change mode and will be the value used for
operating from that point on. (In the example, this takes effect only at power
up.)
This type of operation is the same throughout the Drive Configuration menu.

Drive Configuration Menu Parameters
The following paragraphs explain the options and configurations that are accessible
via the Drive Configuration menu. Some of these parameters must be set to
particular values on SCSI drives as described in Section 5.1. Also, see Note 1 at the
bottom of Table 4-2.
4.3.2.1
INITIAL DEN: (Default = Depends upon model)
The initial density is the density the drive assumes as the selected density when
power is first applied. The default is 6250 for 341X models, and 1600 for 340X
models. Select only a density that your model supports.
4.3.2.2
