Removing the Library from the Pallet
Caution: The library weighs approximately 335 pounds. It is
recommended that at least two individuals perform the
following procedure.
To remove the library from the pallet:
1 Verify that all leveling feet (located on the underside of the library
at each corner of the cabinet) at in the up position.
If they are not, rotate each foot clockwise until it is fully retracted.
2 Guide the library out of the shipping bag and down the ramp (see
figure 9).
If two persons are available to do this, one should be positioned at
the front of the library to guide it down the ramp while another is
positioned at the back of the library to push the library forward.
Note: If you are the only person available to perform this procedure,
position yourself in front of the library so you can pull it
forward onto the ramp and carefully guide it to the floor. The
two-person procedure is recommended.

Do not be concerned if the customer does not have all the cartridges
needed to fill the library. Additional cartridges can be added after
installation using the load port. For more information about this
procedure, refer to the Enterprise Tape Library 4/1800 Operator’s Guide.
Note: Whenever possible, try to fill the library completely with properly
labeled tape cartridges. A full library of labeled cartridges takes much
less time to inventory than a partially filled library or a library filled
with unlabeled cartridges.

2 Turn off all SCSI devices that will be connected to the same SCSI
bus as the library.
Note: The library uses differential (Diff) SCSI connections. If your
host adapter is single-ended (SE) SCSI, you must use an SE-to-
Diff converter for proper SCSI communication.
3 Connect a SCSI cable from the host computer’s SCSI adapter to
SCSI PORT 1 on the back panel of the library (figure 14 on
page 27).
4 Install the SCSI jumper cable between SCSI PORT 2 and SCSI
PORT 3 on the back panel of the library.

Enabling/Disabling the Auto-Clean Option
Enabling/Disabling the Auto-Clean Option
The automatic drive cleaning feature has two modes of drive cleaning
support: Host Initiated and Fully Automatic.
In Host Initiated Cleaning Mode, drive cleaning is enabled by your
System Administrator at the host computer. Although the library unit
will internally track cleaning tape cartridge movement and use, the
library unit provides no cleaning support in this mode. The host is
responsible for all cleaning functions such as detecting when a drive
requires cleaning, tracking and selecting cleaning tape cartridges,
initiating media movement of the cleaning tape cartridge to the drive
and determining when a cleaning tape cartridge has been “used up.”
Drive cleaning in the Fully Automatic Cleaning Mode is also enabled by
your System Administrator at the host computer. However, in this
mode, the library unit monitors each drive’s status to determine when
a drive requires cleaning and initiates action when that determination
is made. In this case, the library unit selects an available cleaning tape
cartridge, handles media movement of the cleaning tape cartridge to
and from the drive and supervises the cleaning operation in the drive.
The library unit tracks cleaning tape cartridges within the library,
monitors cleaning tape cartridge use and determines when a cleaning
tape cartridge has been “used up.” A “used up” cleaning tape
cartridge is exported from the library to the load port under control of
the library.
