Enabling/Disabling

4/52 Identity Mode

Some clients utilize host software specific to the Quantum|ATL

520 Series library. Enabling 4/52 Identity Mode allows the host to

interface with the Quantum|ATL 7100 Series library without

changing the host software.

Note: With a full library, the inventory takes less than three

minutes if all cartridges are properly bar code

labeled. The actual inventory time takes longer if the

library is not completely full or if any of the

cartridges are not properly labeled. When the library

is full of unlabeled cartridges, the inventory may take

over 27 minutes.

Success

Note:

The 4/52 Identity Mode configures to the

Quantum|ATL 7100 Series library to issue the same

inquiry string as the Quantum|ATL 520 Series library.

However, this is not a true “emulation” because the

Quantum|ATL 7100 Series library accomodates more

storage bins and tape drives than a Quantum|ATL 520

Series library. Some storage management software may

not be able to respond properly to a Quantum|ATL 7100

Series library in 4/52 Identity Mode. Check with your

software supplier for further information.
