Installing the internal autoloader

This chapter describes how to configure, mount, and attach cables to the internal Scorpion 240 autoloader.

Configuring the internal autoloader

Before you install the internal version of the Scorpion 240 in your computer, you may need to configure the drive to work with your system.

Default settings

The default settings for the internal drive are listed below:

∙The drive is set for SCSI ID 6.

∙Parity checking is enabled.

∙SCSI terminator power is disabled.

∙Data compression is enabled.

∙Power-on self-test diagnostics are enabled.

∙MRS checking is enabled

(the drive will not write to non-MRS tapes).

If these default settings are appropriate for your computer system, then continue to “Mounting the internal autoloader” on page A-15.

Changing jumper settings

To change the SCSI ID, parity checking, or termination power, use the jumpers on the back of the drive, as shown in Figure 1 on the following page.

Note. Power down the drive before changing jumpers or dip switches. Changes take effect when the drive restarts.
