Requirements

For the most part, installation is simply a matter of checking all necessary SCSI connections installing the application software (backup or otherwise) on the host computer and applying power. The Scalar Library defaults set at the factory should be sufficient for most applications.

Requirements

Space requirements: your Scalar Library has a footprint of 19.0" wide by 23.0" deep. The cabinet extends 40.5" above the floor. You must allow adequate clearance to the rear to allow air flow and enough room at the front to open the door which extends outward 18.5" when perpendicular to the cabinet. The door is hinged on the left side. The floor on which the Scalar Library will sit must be level.

We assume that you are familiar with your computer system. The Scalar Library must be incorporated into the host computer system. The backup software, SCSI interface and any additional SCSI interface cables must be purchased separately.

Necessary tools: No special tools are required to install the Scalar Library. If you are installing a host adapter (SCSI controller) card at this time, refer to the installation manual for your host adapter.

Unpacking and Inspecting

Caution

If the operating environment differs from the storage environment by 15° C (30° F) or more, let the unit acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours.

Unpack all items from the carton. Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship the system in the future.

Caution

You must ship the Scalar Library in the original or equivalent packing materials or your warranty may be invalidated.

Checking the Accessories

Check to make certain that the following items are included with your Scalar Library:

Power cord

One DLT data cartridge

One DLT cleaning cartridge

Barcode labels

One active SCSI bus terminator

One SCSI Bus Jumper (daisy-chain cable)
