For optimum performance, use an Ultra160 SCSI host bus adapter.

Compatibility information is available from

www.exabyte.com/compatibility

.



If your software has not yet been certified for the Magnum 1x7 LTO

Autoloader, you can use one of the autoloader’s emulation modes (see

page 31

).



You can install the software on the host computer before or after

autoloader installation. However, if you install the software first, you

may need to reconfigure it for use with the autoloader after autoloader

installation is complete.



Locate an appropriate area for the autoloader. Select a location that has

adequate clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an

appropriate power source. The autoloader is designed to operate in a

standard 19-inch rack. To provide adequate air flow, a ventilated rack is

recommended.

The autoloader must be operated in the horizontal position. Do not place

the autoloader on its side, and do not place objects on top of the library.



Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause

electrostatic discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from your body by

touching a known grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
