Qualstar 501440 Rev. G operation manual Explanation, Location digit

The Configuration menu is used to customize the operation of the TLS to meet the system requirements. The Configuration menu consists of several sub-menus, some affecting the unit's interaction with the SCSI system, and others affecting the unit's interaction with the user. Once the items in the Configuration menu have been customized, the Configuration menu should not have to be revisited, unless the configuration of the changer or the SCSI system (e.g. adding or removing tape drives) is changed.

The following sections explain the Fibre Channel menus in detail. An explanation of the remaining menu items are contained in the specific TLS models Technical Service Manual. Not all values or menu items appear at all times; some depend upon the model of library in use, other configuration parameters and incomplete prerequisite conditions.

NOTE

The menus in this chapter reflect revision 2.23 of the Executive PCBA EPROM software. If an ear- lier revision of the software is being used, some menu items may not appear in the menus.

Additionally, the menus in this chapter represent both single bay and dual bay libraries. Menu items that are specific to dual bay libraries contain the words “Left or Right” or the letters “L or R”.

The Legends in Figure 7-1and Figure 7-2indicate the types of digits found in the value items of the Configuration menu's sub-menus. An explanation of each type is given below in Figure 7-3.
