[. . . ] When the operator chooses Exit, he/she are returned to the previous menu. At that point, another procedure can be performed, or the operator can scroll to the next Exit until completely exiting the menu mode. The quickest way to exit the menu mode is to press the SELECT and or buttons simultaneously. Note: After an operation is executed, the results displayed in the SDA must be cleared before the quick method of exiting will be available. To clear the results of an operation from the SDA, press the or button. figure 11 on page 15 is an example of menu navigation. It shows the commands and associated SDA displays involved in changing the AUTO CLEAN option from DISABLED (factory default) to ENABLED. 14 ACL 4/52 Operator's Guide Chapter 1 Library Overview Menu Navigation Figure 11 Menu Navigation example Status Display Switch Description Menu: Configuration Menu: Configurati Inquiry M a SCSI Address Po w e r - U p S t a t e Num of Drives Menu: Configurati Au t o C l e a n Menu: Auto Clean Enabled S u Menu: Enabled . .

Setting/Changing the Tape Drive SCSI Addresses 1 This function is used to set the SCSI address (0. . . 7 for libraries with DLT 2000 or DLT 4000 tape drives, and 0. . . 15 for libraries with DLT 7000 tape drives) of each tape drive in the library. This can be done through the SCSI Address/ Drive n sub-menus. Defining the Library's Power-Up State 1 You have the option of defining the starting condition of the library, either on-line or standby (off-line), after power-up, self-tests and initialization has occurred. You can change it by using the Power-Up State sub-menu. Enabling/Disabling Automatic Drive Cleaning 1 The automatic drive cleaning feature has two modes of drive cleaning support: Host Initiated and Fully Automatic. 16 ACL 4/52 Operator's Guide Chapter 1 Library Overview Operator Tasks (using the Menu Mode) In Host Initiated Cleaning Mode, drive cleaning is enabled by your System Administrator at the host computer. Although the library unit will internally track cleaning tape cartridge movement and use, the library unit provides no cleaning support in this mode. The host is responsible for all cleaning functions such as detecting when a drive requires cleaning, tracking and selecting cleaning tape cartridges, initiating media movement of the cleaning tape cartridge to the drive and determining when a cleaning tape cartridge has been "used up. " Drive cleaning in the Fully Automatic Cleaning Mode is also enabled by your System Administrator at the host computer. However, in this mode, the library unit monitors each drive's status to determine when a drive requires cleaning and initiates action when that determination is made. In this case, the library unit selects an available cleaning tape cartridge, handles media movement of the cleaning tape cartridge to and from the drive and supervises the cleaning operation in the drive. The library unit tracks cleaning tape cartridges within the library, monitors cleaning tape cartridge use and determines when a cleaning tape cartridge has been "used up. " A "used up" cleaning tape cartridge is exported from the library to the load port under control of the library. The library is shipped with automatic drive cleaning disabled. If you want this feature enabled, you can use the Auto Clean sub-menu. Enabling/Disabling the Retry Option 1 If a failure occurs during a movement command and this option is enabled, the library will attempt to recover and retry the operation. If this option is disabled, no retries are made and the error is reported the first time. If you want this feature disabled, you can use the Retries sub-menu. Setting/Changing the Library's Language 1 This function allows you to change the language displayed in the SDA. If you want to change the language, you can use the Language sub-menu. The options are: English, Francais, Deutsch, Espanol and Italiano. Adjusting the Display Area Contrast 1 This function allows you to change the contrast of the SDA for easy viewing at different angles. There are ten different contrast settings to choose from in this menu. [. . . ] automated tape library A robotic storage and retrieval system for DLT tape cartridges.
