Starting the autoloader
Turn on all SCSI devices attached to your computer before you turn on the
computer. When the autoloader is first started, the following events should occur:
1. The Clean, Media, and Drive LEDs light up for two seconds, then start flashing.
2. The LCD display shows the current SCSI ID, followed by the message,
“WAITING SELFTEST.”
3. If a magazine is loaded, the drive determines which slots in the magazine
contain cartridges . During this time the LCD display shows the message “SCAN
X, ” where X is the number of the cartridge slot currently being scanned (from 1
to 6).
4. As each cartridge is identified by the drive, the cartridge’s slot number is
displayed on the LCD.
5. When all tests are completed, the LCD display shows the message “READY” if
a magazine is loaded. If no magazine is loaded, the message “NO MAGAZINE”
is shown.
