immediate update of the system.
The menu headings also appear at the top of every page. To access the functionality under the menu heading, click the
specific menu heading. The first time that you connect, the Remote Management Unit prompts you for your username and
password, then displays the opening page for that menu. Depending on your screen resolution settings you may have to scroll
to view all of the status information.
Time Display
The time displayed is either regular time or power-on time. Regular time is Month/Date/Year time, such as Nov/21/2004
19:28
. Power-on time is Power On Cycles (POC)/Power On Hours (POH), such as POC:00121, POH:00002:07:45.
POC (5-digit number) is the number of times the system has booted since it was manufactured.
POH is the number of hours, minutes, and seconds that the system has been on since the current boot occurred.
Feedback on Pages
If there is feedback from the system when you submit a request, the feedback appears beneath the submit button. In some
cases, you may have to scroll to see the feedback information.
Configuration Page
The Configuration page includes a submenu on the left-hand side of the page. You can set the System Operations,
Networking, and Security options from this page.
System Operations Options
The options listed under System Operations include SCSI ID, Compression, Barcode Reader, Cleaning Tape,
Magazines, and System Time.
SCSI ID
You can change the drive's SCSI ID from the Remote Management Unit. To change the SCSI ID:
1. From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.
2. Under System Operations, select SCSI ID.
3. Click the drop-down box to select a number to assign for the new SCSI ID.
4. Click submit.
NOTE: You must perform an autoloader reset or use the front panel to power cycle your machine before the new
SCSI ID takes effect.
Compression
For the Dell PowerVault 124T DLT VS160 autoloader, data compression is drive-dependent. The front panel and the Remote
Management Unit will display whether or not compression is enabled.
Compressing the data means that the drive can write more data to the same amount of tape.
NOTE: Compression cannot be changed from the front panel or the Remote Management Unit of the autoloader. If the
data that you are writing to the tape is already compressed, the compression option will expand the data rather than
compress it.
