If the supplied SCSI cable does not fit the connector on your SCSI host adapter, you either have an incompatible SCSI host adapter or you need to purchase a

cable adapter. Contact your service representative or your SCSI host adapter manufacturer for information.

1. Attach the terminator to the remaining SCSI connector on the back panel of the autoloader (if the autoloader is the last or only device on the SCSI bus).

Otherwise, attach the cable to the next device on the SCSI bus. Make sure that the last device on the SCSI bus is properly terminated.

2. Attach the female connector of the power cable to the power connector on the back panel of the autoloader.

3. Plug in the power cable to the nearest properly grounded power outlet.

4. Plug in the host server or workstation and all attached devices.

5. Turn on the autoloader by setting the power switch on the front panel to the ON position. Turn on any other devices you turned off earlier. Check the

LCD screen to make sure the autoloader is receiving power. If it is not, check the power connections and your power source.

During the Power-On Self Test (POST), all four LEDs are illuminated briefly, followed by only the Ready/Activity LED flashing. When the initialization

sequence is complete, the LCD screen displays the Home screen.

6. Turn on the server.

Preparing the Host and Verifying the Connection

If necessary, install a SCSI host adapter, software, and compatible driver(s). Refer to the manuals for the host computer and SCSI host adapter for detailed

instructions. In addition, follow these general guidelines:

When the host server is powered on, install software, and/or driver(s) that are compatible with the autoloader (see

Software compatibility information is available at support.dell.com. Most backup software packages require an additional module to communicate with

the autoloader robotics.

If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system administrator before turning off power.

Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when handling internal components.

Make sure that the host server has an open expansion slot.

Make sure that your backup application supports the SCSI host adapter.

Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the SCSI ID of the autoloader and/or tape drive (see

Ensure that the autoloader is properly terminated. If the autoloader is the only SCSI device—other than the SCSI host adapter—on the selected SCSI

bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the autoloader is physically the last SCSI device on the SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Only the devices

physically at the beginning and end of the SCSI bus should be terminated.

Verify the connection between the autoloader and host by going to: Settings>Control Panel>SCSI Adapter in Microsoft® Windows NT® or

Settings>Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>Tape Drive and/or Media Changer in Microsoft Windows® 2000 and Windows Server

2003. For more information on verifying the connection of SCSI devices, consult the operating system documentation.

Installing the Device Drivers

There are two device drivers associated with the Dell PowerVault 122T LTO Autoloader. One for the autoloader itself, and a second for the LTO Tape Drive

within the autoloader.

NOTE: The device drivers supplied on the Dell PowerVault 122T LTO Autoloader User's Manual and Drivers CD are required if you intend to

use the Microsoft Windows 2000 native backup application. Commercial backup applications provide all necessary device driver support.

Refer to

support.dell.com

support for autoloaders. A backup application must be used if using the Dell PowerVault 122T LTO Autoloader under Microsoft Windows

NT.

Tape Drive Device Driver

Microsoft Windows 2000:

1. Make sure that you are logged on to the host server with administrator privileges.

2. Insert the Dell PowerVault 122T LTO Autoloader User's Manual and Drivers CD into the CD drive on the host server.

3. Open the device manager (please refer to your OS documentation for specific instructions). For example, right-click the My Computer icon on the

for a list of compatible backup applications. Please note that Microsoft Windows NT does not include native
