Note
You cannot incorrectly install the cartridges in the 6 rear slots, the
design of the slots prevents this from occurring. However, the 12 front
slots are not designed the same way. The Scalar 218 will not work
correctly if the cartridges are not installed in these slots with the write-
protect switches at the top and the barcode label area facing toward the
front of the Scalar as shown in the cut-away illustration above.
Install Cleaning Cartridge (Optional)
If your backup software is capable of scheduling and performing a drive cleaning cycle
automatically, you may want to dedicate a cartridge storage slot to a cleaning cartridge. When
all cleaning cycles on the cleaning cartridge are exhausted (see Chapter 5: Operations and
Maintenance, section Cleaning the Drive Head, for explanation of how to determine if a new
cleaning cartridge is needed), remove the cleaning cartridge and install a new one.
Warning
Use only adic -approved DLT cleaning cartridges. Use of any other
cleaning cartridge may damage the drive heads and void your warranty.
Close and Lock the Access Panel
p Close the access panel by sliding it forward, turn the key a quarter turn to the left and
remove it from the lock.
Setting the SCSI IDs
Your Scalar 218 consists of up to three SCSI devices; two drives and the library robotics. You
can connect the Scalar 218 to from one to three separate SCSI buses. Each device in your
library must be set to a unique ID for the SCSI bus it is connected to. The ID for the robotics
is set by selecting it through the Operator Panel, Off-Line Mode, Configuration Menu, Set
SCSI ID option (see sub-subsection Set SCSI ID, subsection Configuration Menu, section Off-
Line Mode Menus in Chapter 4: Equipment Description of this manual). The IDs for the
drives are set by selecting the appropriate ID on the switch on the back of each drive
assembly.
