4 The Scalar 218
• Cartridge Pre-Check. Whenever you power up, your Scalar 218 maps all cartridge
locations and, if barcode scan is enabled, the Media Picker will move each cartridge from
the storage slots to a position where the barcode reader can scan the barcode data and
build a log of valid cartridge locations.
• Downloadable Firmware. Both your Scalar 218 and the DLT drives employ Flash
EEPROM technology permitting easy on-site installation of firmware updates from the
host computer.
• Built-in Diagnostics. Your Scalar 218 includes diagnostic firmware that tells you when
drive head cleaning is required, reports diagnostic results, and drive operating status.
Embedded data logging of operational and drive errors can aid you in failure analysis.

DLT Drives
Your adic library can be equipped with second-, third-, or fourth-generation DLT drives. All
drive models (DLT2000XT, DLT4000, and DLT7000) can read and write 2.6 GB, 6.0 GB,
and 10.0 GB tape formats for 100% interchange compatibility with earlier DLT drives. Tape
density is selectable by the application software or a button on the drive.
