Hardware Installation
Installing the DLT4500 Mini Library

To install the DLT4500 Mini Library backup jukebox device - follow these steps:

Previously installed Jukeboxes must be deleted from the configuration before installing the DLT (use SciSmit).
  1. Verify which SCSI addresses are vacant on your different SCSI adapters.

(SciSmit->Devices->Peripherals -> List all Peripherals Devices ->List all System SCSI Devices).

  1. Do not connect the DLT to the same SCSI adapter to which the system disk is connected.

For 41T/W or 42T/W models connect to the on-board SCSI controller, for RS5XX models connect to a separate SCSI adapter or SCSI-2 Fast.

  1. Press [F10] to exit SciSmit.
  2. Type “0” and press Enter at the CreoScitex login menu to logout from all CreoScitex applications.
  3. After a few minutes, the login prompt will be displayed.
  4. Login as root and initiate the shutdown procedure.
  5. Power off the server after the “Halt is completed... “ message is received.
  6. Attach the SCSI cable to the SCSI adapter or to a device in the SCSI chain and to the DLT device.
  7. Ensure that the termination is correct.
  8. Set (if necessary) the SCSI ID of the new DLT drive and then restart it.

To set the SCSI ID on the DLT drive

  1. Power on the DLT.
  2. When “LDR RDY” appears on the LCD panel, press and hold the Display/Mode button on the operator panel of the DLT, until the SCSI ID appears on the LCD panel.
  3. Press the Select button to change the SCSI ID.
  4. Press Display/Mode button until LDR RDY is displayed on DLT panel.
  5. Power off the DLT and then power it on, so that the drive can recognize the new SCSI ID.

To set the tape density (capacity - 20GB compressed)

  1. On the operator panel of the DLT, press the Density Select button twice.
  2. Press the Select button until you see the selected density (20 C) and the OVR light remains steady.
  3. Press Display Mode to return to the main DLT menu.

Hardware Configuration Verification

  1. Power on the CreoScitex Ripro Server.
  2. Verify that the DLT has been correctly configured.

(SciSmit->Devices->Peripherals -> List all Peripherals Devices ->List all System SCSI Devices).

Record the SCSI ID of the DLT drive for reference later on in the installation process.
