Compaq AA-RHGWB-TE manual Configuring a Shared Scsi Bus for Tape Drive Use

The first and second lines of the default screen show the status of the two drives (if present). The third line shows the status of the library robotics, and the fourth line is a map of the magazine, with the numbers from 0 to 9 representing the cartridge slots. Rectangles present on this line indicate cartridges present in the corresponding slot of the magazine.

For example, this fourth line (0> X X _ _ _ _ _ _ _ <9, where X represents rectangles) indicates that cartridges are installed in slots 0 and 1.

______________________ Note _______________________

There are no switches for setting a mechanical SCSI ID for the tape drives. The SCSI IDs default to 5. The MiniLibrary sets the electronic SCSI ID very quickly, before any device can probe the MiniLibrary, so the lack of a mechanical SCSI ID does not cause any problems on the SCSI bus.

To set the SCSI ID, follow these steps:

1.From the Default Screen, press the Enter button to enter the Menu Mode, displaying the Main Menu.

____________________ Note _____________________

When you enter the Menu Mode, the Ready light goes out, an indication that the module is off line, and all media changer commands from the host return a SCSI not ready status until you exit the Menu Mode and the Ready light comes on once again.

2.Depress the down arrow button until the Configure Menu item is selected, then press the Enter button to display the Configure submenu.

____________________ Note _____________________

The control panel up and down arrows have an auto-repeat feature. When you press either button for more than one-half second, the control panel behaves as if you were pressing the button about four times per second. The effect stops when you release the button.

3.Press the down arrow button until the Set SCSI item is selected and press the Enter button.
