Frequently Asked Questions
This section provides a reference of commonly asked questions and their answers.
FAQs When Getting Started
The following are questions you may encounter when first setting up your Scalar 24.
What Operator Panel menus are required to get started?
You can use the Setup Wizard to walk you through configuring your Scalar 24. Refer to Setup Wizard on
page 64. You can also configure your Scalar 24 manually by using the Setup menu. Refer to Setup Menu
on page 64 for step-by-step instructions and descriptions of each submenu.
How do I set a SCSI ID?
Your Scalar 24 has two types of SCSI IDs. There is one for the library and a separate SCSI ID for each
drive. Refer to Set SCSI IDs
on page 80.
What type of SCSI card is required?
The Scalar 24 supports a Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI interface. When installing a SCSI interface
card on the host computer, install a card that supports LVD. A label on the back of the drive module next to
the connectors indicate their type. For more information, see Connecting to a SCSI Bus
on page 20.
How do I cable the library to the SCSI card?
First, make sure that your host computer has a SCSI interface card. If your host computer did not come with
SCSI capability, you will need to install a SCSI adapter. Refer to the manual that comes with your host
adapter for specific directions.
Once the card is installed, locate the 68-pin LVD SCSI cable that came with your Scalar 24. For information
and diagrams of cabling to the SCSI card, see Connecting to a SCSI Bus
on page 20.
