42 Operation and Maintenance

Normal Operations

General Guidelines

Once your Scalar Library and your choice of application software are installed and configured,

you can automatically perform backup and restore operations via the application software.

You do not need to intervene unless the application software instructs you to exchange data

cartridges through the virtual mailbox slot, or by reaching in through the sliding access panel.

Always follow these general operating guidelines:

p Open the sliding access panel of the Scalar 218 only when you must. Even if you power

down your library, you should keep the door closed to protect the internal components

from dust.

p Use only the recommended types of media cartridges, described earlier in this manual.

p Clean each of the DLT drives once a month, or whenever the Use Cleaning Tape LED

is illuminated on a drive front panel (see the subsection titled Cleaning the Drive Head in

the Maintenance section later in this chapter).

Power Up Checks

When you apply power to your library it will perform the following actions:

• Verifies drive configuration and status.

• Builds a valid cartridge inventory log.

• Calibrates the positioning of the Media Picker.

When the library has completed the Power Up Checks it will automatically place itself in On-

Line Mode.

Drive Power-on Self-Test

When you power up your Scalar Library , the DLT drives each perform a Power-on Self-Test

(POST) while the library is performing the Power Up Checks. The sequence of events for each

drive is:

1 2 ... 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 ... 108 109
