PERATION
To resume operation:
1.
If you disconnected the SCSI or FireWire cable, terminator or ESD label, or Ethernet cable
from the autoloader, reconnect them.
2.
Reconnect the power cord and power on the autoloader, as described in the
Tandberg
StorageLoader VXA Product Manual
. Calibration of the new tape drive occurs automatically
during power on.
The autoloader is now ready to resume operation. For the SCSI autoloader, the new tape drive
automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old tape drive.
You may want to perform a few cartridge load and unload operations from the front panel to
ensure that the autoloader and the newly installed tape drive are communicating correctly (see
instructions below). You may also want to back up several megabytes of data with the new tape
drive and perform a comparison check on the backed-up data. This determines whether the
software and tape drive are communicating properly.
