WARNING: TThis product can only be used with an HP approved power cord
for your specific geographic region. Use of a non-HP approved power cord may result in: 1) noncompliance with individual, country-specific safety requirements; 2) insufficient conductor ampacity that could result in overheating with potential personal injury and/or property damage; and 3) a fractured power cord, which could cause the internal contacts to be exposed, which potentially could subject the user to a shock hazard. HP disclaims all liability when HP-approved power cords are not used.
AVERTISEMENT : ce produit ne peut être utilisé qu'avec un cordon
d'alimentation approuvé par HP pour votre zone géographique. L'utilisation d'un cordon d'alimentation non approuvé par HP vous expose à ce qui suit :
1) non-conformité aux spécifications de sécurité du pays concerné ;
2) intensité admissible du conducteur insuffisante pouvant provoquer une surchauffe créant un risque de blessure ou d'endommagement du produit ; et 3) rupture de cordon pouvant exposer les contacts internes et créer un risque d'électrocution pour l'utilisateur. HP décline toute responsabilité en cas d'utilisation d'un cordon d'alimentation non approuvé.
AVVERTENZA: È possibile utilizzare questo prodotto solo con un cavo di
alimentazione approvato da HP specifico per il paese di utilizzo. L'utilizzo di cavi di alimentazione non approvati da HP può produrre: 1) non conformità ai requisiti di sicurezza specifici del paese di utilizzo; 2) amperaggio del conduttore insufficiente con conseguente surriscaldamento e potenziale rischio di lesioni a persone e/o cose; 3) rottura del cavo di alimentazione con conseguente esposizione dei contatti interni e potenziale rischio di scosse elettriche per l'utente. HP declina qualsiasi responsabilità in caso di utilizzo di cavi di alimentazione non approvati da HP.

Labeling a disk cartridge

Make it a practice to label your UDO disk cartridges. Adhesive labels come with each UDO disk for this purpose (see Figure 3).
Caution: In order to avoid damaging the drives and media:
Only apply labels to the areas designated in Figure 3. Never place labels over the disk cartridge shutter or open the shutter for any reason.
Make sure the media is free of moisture and that all label corners are securely fastened to the media shell.
Do not use disks with loosely attached labels.
Do not use disks with multiple labels applied. Always remove old labels before applying new ones.

Write-protecting an UDO disk

Each side of an UDO disk can be write-protected. With rewritable disks, this prev ents existing f iles from being altered or erased, and
new files from being written to the disk. With WORM disks, existing files cannot be altered or erased regardless of whether
or not the disks have been write-protected. However, write-protecting a WORM disk prevents additional files from being written to the disk.
To write-protect an UDO disk, slide the red write-protect switch to the left, as indicated by the arrow on the cartridge (see Figure 4).

Loading a disk into the drive

Note: Label all disks before loading them into the jukebox. Some application software
packages require that you load and eject disks by using instructions in the software. If you use a software application to manage files in the jukebox, check the software documentation before proceeding with these steps.
1. Start with READY, or LOAD *displaying on the control panel.
2. Load UDO media into the drive by inserting the disk gently but f irmly into the mailslot, shutter end first, and with the side you want to access f acing up (A or B). See Figure 5.
An incorrectly inserted disk will be rejected with CART IN WRONG displaying briefly.

3. LOAD SLOT # will display, with # flashing to indicate the number of the first available storage slot in the jukebox. To select this storage slot number, press LOAD or ENTER. To choose a different storage slot, press NEXT or PREV until the desired slot number displays, and then press ENTER.
4. LOADING displays as the jukebox moves the disk to a slot. After the disk is loaded into the storage slot, LOAD * displays. You can now load additional disks by inserting them into the mailslot and repeating step 3 until you are finished loading disks.

5. Press CANCEL to return to the READY state.

Maintaining UDO media

Follow these guidelines to ensure that your UDO disks remain in good condition.
Do not open the disk’s shutter and touch the disk surface.
Do not store the disk in a dusty location.
Do not store the disk in temperatures outside of 5ºC to 55ºC (41ºF to 122ºF).
Do not disassemble the disk.

Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight.
Do not drop the disk.

Using mixed media

Mixed media refers to the option to backup to more than one drive type, such as MO and UDO, within the same physical jukebox.
General considerations when using mixed media are as follows:
Some independent software vendor application packages do not support
mixed media. Consult your software pro vider to verify that your conf iguration is supported.
The proper version of HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) is
required for diagnostic support. Please see the online quick specs of HP L&TT for the most up to date information. They can be found at the following web address.
http://www.hp.com/support/lttcompatibility
When loading media into a mixed media unit, the media will first be moved to
a media test station, where its drive compatibility can be determined, then it will be moved to its final destination. This drive compatibility information is reported over SCSI to the application software to identify which disks are compatible with the installed drives.
In the TEST* control panel menu, an additional test called MEDIA TEST is
available that will move all of the disks in the unit (except those in drives) to the media test station, then back to their original locations. This test can take about 15 minutes in a fully loaded unit. This test can be used to establish the drive compatibility of all of the disks in the unit if this information is thought to be incorrect. This should only be necessary if disks have been moved around by hand (during service, for example). During normal operation the jukebox will automatically keep track of this information.
When a disk inventory occurs (by selecting the INIT ELEM STATUS front
panel command, or through a SCSI command) any disks that are found in the unit that have an unkno wn type will be mo v ed into the media test station, then back to their original location to determine their drive compatibility. Again, this should only occur if disks are inserted by hand (during service) rather than through the mailslot. When firmware is downloaded into the jukebox controller, an initial inventory will occur automatically, and all of the disks will be checked for their drive compatibility type.
