Power-On Self-Test
Switch 4 enables or disables the Power-On Self-Test diagnostics that the drive performs when pow-
ered on. By default, the drive responds to SCSI commands only after it successfully completes the
Power-On Self-Test (about 5 seconds). To prevent the drive from performing the Power-On Self-Test
when powered-up, set switch 4 to the OFF position.
Host Operating System
Switches 5 through 8 configure the internal tape drive for a host operating system. By default, these
switches are all ON. This setting configures the drive for a Microsoft Windows 98/Me/XP/NT/
2000/2003 Server operating system.
To use the internal tape drive with a different operating system:
•
Set switches 5 through 8 to select the appropriate settings.
•
Refer to the operating system drive configuration supplement for information on scripts and
other settings for various non-Windows operating systems. This supplement is available on
your Tape Resource CD and at http://support.certance.com.
Table 4 shows the supported operating systems and their corresponding switch settings.
