This message displays when you press the Select button. Press the Select button repeatedly to display the desired tape number (X); then press the Enter button to load the selected tape into the drive. The autoloader is preventing you from selecting a tape to load because a Prevent Media Removal command has been issued by the host. This prevents the tape that is in the drive from being ejected. This message displays while the tape drive is performing a Power-On Self-Test (POST) during startup. The tape drive is writing to the tape cartridge from slot X. To configure the autoloader using the LCD, first make sure that there is no magazine installed in the autoloader; then press and hold the Select button for five seconds. You can then use the Select button to cycle through the following menus: VERSION, LANGUAG (Language), CONTRST (Contrast), AUTO/LD (Auto Load), and DOOR. to display a particular menu , select the menu item and press the Enter button. Version menu In the VERSION menu, you can use the Select button to view the name of the autoloader, its SCSI ID, its firmware level, and the autoloader serial number. Language menu In the LANGUAG menu, you can enable the autoloader to display messages on the LCD in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, or Spanish by scrolling to the appropriate language and pressing the Enter button. Contrast menu In the CONTRST menu, you can make the LCD display brighter by pressing the Enter button repeatedly until the desired contrast is displayed. To make the LCD darker, press the Select button repeatedly until the desired contrast is displayed. Autoload menu In the AUTO/LD menu, you can enable or disable automatic loading of tape cartridges from the magazine into the tape drive. This feature should only be used to automate tape loading if application software to support the loader operation is not available. Most of software available for the Windows NT/2000 platform does support the SCSI commands necessary for loader operation. In this environment we suggest Leaving automatic load disabled (the default state). Check with your software vendor if you are unsure about your particular software application. In Unix/Linux environments, on the other hand, backup software may not support autoloader operation directly. In this case, the 'offline' command is used to change tapes sequentially (in numerical order by slot number).
