Configuring and Calibrating a

PTM

After the PTM has been successfully installed, the libraries must be configured

and calibrated to operate correctly as a multi-unit library system.

Caution: If any library is to utilize Multi-Unit (MUSL) functionality, all libraries

must be running firmware 3.10 or later. In order to utilize MUSL functionality,

all libraries must have the proper backplanes (PN 6310520-04 or newer),

proper robotic controller boards (PN 6221710-21 or newer) and QSPI cables.

All libraries running firmware 1.30 or earlier that upgrade to 3.10 or later that

will utilize MUSL functionality with another library must reinitialize NV RAM

and use the new memory module (PN 6312910-06). To support the new

memory module, boot block version 2.01 must be installed. If a library is

configured in Single mode, then there is no need to upgrade the boot block or

memory module, but the NV RAM must still be reinitialized.

Ensure you understand the capabilities of your application software before

enabling autoclean. If the tape drive autoclean feature is to be supported, be

sure that at least one cleaning tape exists in each library that will support

autocleaning.
