After you have installed the hardware described in Setting up the Library Hardware, you are ready to configure your librarys settings. A Setup Wizard helps you get started configuring your library, and the menu com reconfigure your library at any time.

Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard simplifies the process of configuring the library. When you first power on the library, the front panel displays the Setup Wizard. As you work through the Setup Wizard screens, follow the on-screen instructions.

The recommended procedure for using the Setup Wizard for the initial configuration is as follows:

1. Turn on the library and begin the Setup Wizard on the front panel. Be sure to configure network settings.

2. When the complete the wizard either locally on the front panel interface or remotely on the remote management interface.

3. If you choose to complete the wizard remotely, you interface. Us the default password

4. Complete the Setup Wizard.

4. Verify that the Backup software detects loader and drives properly and does not report errors. Run "Device Configuration Wizard" again if needed.

Verifying Recent Changes
