2. 2. 2. 2. Reconnect the power cord and power on the autoloader, as described on
page 19 .
The autoloader is now ready to resume operation. The new tape drive
automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old tape drive.
You may want to perform a few cartridge load and unload operations from the
front panel to ensure that the autoloader and the newly installed tape drive
are communicating correctly (see page 68 ). You may also want to back up
several megabytes of data with the new tape drive and perform a comparison
check on the backed-up data. This determines whether the software and tape
drive are communicating properly.
