2.Connect the female end of the power cord to the power connector on the back of the autoloader.

! Important	Two power cords are shipped with the autoloader: One for use in
	the US and Canada, and one for use in Europe. Use the correct
	power cord for your location. See page 122 for power cord
	requirements for other locations.

3.Plug the male end of the power cord into the power source.

4.Push the power switch on the back of the autoloader to the on position (press the I). The autoloader performs its power-on sequence. During this time, the following activities occur:

The cooling fan begins to operate. The LCD illuminates.

The tape drive and autoloader perform self-tests.

The autoloader calibrates the positions of the cartridge cells.

The autoloader checks each cartridge cell to determine if a cartridge is present and updates the cartridge inventory.

5.If necessary, set the SCSI IDs for the autoloader and the tape drive. You can use the default IDs or change them if they conflict with other devices on the SCSI bus. See page 29 for instructions.
