other end to the power outlet.
Connecting to the Host Computer
Connect the AIT library and the host computer with a SCSI cable. This section
explains general connecting steps. Connect the library with the appropriate
SCSI cable, depending on the AIT drive.
• When the library is equipped with the AIT-5, AIT-4, AIT-3 Ex, or AIT-3
drive, use a commercially available Ultra 160 cable.
• When the library is equipped with the AIT-2 or AIT-1 drive, use a
commercially available Wide Ultra LVD SCSI cable that conforms to SCSI-3.
The library side uses the 68-pin half pitch connector.
When connecting other SCSI devices together with the AIT library, see
“Connecting SCSI Peripheral Devices” (page 22).
Caution
• Do not connect the AIT library to an HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI
bus. If connected, the library or other devices on the SCSI bus may be
damaged.
• When connecting a SCSI cable, turn off all the connecting devices, including
the host computer.
Chapter 2 Installation

About SCSI ID
For each SCSI device, a unique SCSI ID must be set for the AIT library and AIT
drives. The default factory settings of SCSI IDs are as follows:
• Library: 0
• AIT Drive 1 (R): 1
• AIT Drive 2 (L): 2
About SCSI parity
When the SCSI parity function is enabled, parity checks are performed on all
data passing through the SCSI bus. The factory default settings for SCSI parity
are as follows:
• Library: Enabled (YES)
• AIT Drive 1 (R): Enabled (YES)
• AIT Drive 2 (L): Enabled (YES)
Caution
Do not duplicate SCSI IDs on the same SCSI bus.
Notes
• Even if you do not add an AIT drive, make sure not to duplicate the SCSI ID
of Drive 2 (L).
• The SCSI IDs can also be set through a browser.

When “[Enter] to reset” appears,
press the [ENTER] button.
The system reboots.
Prepare a cartridge and set it into the AIT library.
Affix the provided bar code label to the cartridge, then prepare it for use.
Caution
By default, the library is set to read bar codes. If you use cartridges without bar
code labels with this setting, initialization after turning on the library or using
the cartridges becomes unusually long. To extenuate this problem, use
cartridges with bar code labels or change the library setting not to read bar
codes. For details about the latter procedure, see “Setting the Bar Code” (page
47).
Warning 12:34
Reboot the system to

Note
The type of bar code label is fixed to Code 39 with check digit. This setting
cannot be changed. We recommend that you use the optional bar code labels
presented in “Optional Accessories (sold separately)” (page 102). When using
other bar codes, the library may not be able to read them.
