Preparing the Host and Verifying the Connection
If necessary, install a SCSI, Fibre Channel, or SAS host adapter, software, and compatible
drivers. Refer to the manuals for the host computer and SCSI, Fibre Channel, or SAS host
adapter for detailed instructions. In addition, follow these general guidelines:
• When the host server is powered on, install software, and/or drivers that are
compatible with the autoloader (see Windows Operating System Support
). Software
compatibility information is available at www.quantum.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, Fibre Channel, or SAS
host adapter.
• For the SCSI autoloader interface:
• Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the SCSI ID of
the autoloader (see Setting the SCSI ID
).
