[. . . ] To disable the mapping of slots use the UP or DOWN keys to select "N". Note Disabling INIT MAPPING by selecting "N" will force INIT SCAN BARCODES to "N" ( see below). Init Scan Barcodes Enables/disables the scanning of the cartridge barcodes whenever the Scalar Library is powered-up, or after the sliding access panel has been opened and then closed. The application software overrides the setting of this parameter. If Barcode Scanner configuration is set to No, Initialize Scan Barcodes is ignored, and the barcode reader is not available to the application software. To disable the scanning of barcodes use the UP or DOWN keys to select "N". Note INIT SCAN BARCODES default setting is Y. Note Enabling INIT SCAN BARCODES by selecting "Y" will force INIT MAPPING to "Y" ( see above). Equipment Description 51 Barcode Scanner Enables/disables the barcode scanner. If disabled, the Initialize Scan Barcodes, Configuration Menu parameter (see above), and the Scan Barcodes sub-function of the Map Slots Diagnostics Menu function (see Appendix B), is ignored. If disabled, the barcode scanner is not available to the application software. To disable the barcode scanner use the UP or DOWN keys to select "N". Note ENABLE BARCODE SCANNER default setting is Y. Verify SCSI Bus Verifies that the SCSI devices within your Scalar 218FC (the library robotics and the drives) are connected to a single SCSI channel. Some network operating systems need to know if the Scalar 218FC SCSI devices are connected to more than one SCSI channel. To verify that the SCSI devices are connected to more than one SCSI channel use the UP or DOWN keys to select "N". Note VERIFY SCSI BUS default setting is Y. 52 Equipment Description Enable Mailbox Enables/disables the Mailbox as a cartridge input/output element. When your Scalar 218FC Mailbox is enabled, there are 17 storage slots available to store data cartridges. The application software will use the Mailbox slot to move cartridges into, and out of the library storage slots. When the Mailbox is disabled, the slot is configured as storage slot number 18 and is available to store a data cartridge. To disable the Mailbox, and configure the slot as a storage location, use the UP or DOWN keys to select "N". Note ENABLE MAILBOX default setting is Y. Adjust Slot Count Adjusts the number of storage slots available to the application. Dependent upon the setting of ENABLE MAILBOX (see above). If the Mailbox is disabled, choices are 18 slots or 16 slots. If set for 16 slots, slots 17 and 18 (Mailbox slot) are disabled. [. . . ] Its disadvantage is higher vulnerability to common mode noise and limited cable distance. A slot is the place within the cartridge storage area where the media is placed. Each slot has a reference position, i. e. Glossary 109 SCSI Adapter SCSI Admin SCSI ID SCSI bus SCSI Device SCSI Port Short Wave Single-Ended slot SNMP Target A SCSI device (usually the peripheral) that responds to an operation requested by a SCSI initiator (usually the host system).
