CHAPTER 3—CONFIGURING THE AUTOLOADER

SETTING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

This section provides step-by-step instructions for setting autoloader configuration options. The instructions assume that you are using the operator panel to set options. If you are using the SCSI autoloader’s Remote Management utility (described in Chapter 4), the selections are generally the same but you access menus and selections through web-style links and fields.

Table 3-3provides an overview of each configuration option. Read through the table to determine which options you need to set, then follow the steps on the referenced pages.
