The autoloader is now ready to resume operation. The new tape drive 

automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old tape drive.

You may want to perform a few cartridge load and unload operations from the 

front panel to ensure that the autoloader and the newly installed tape drive 

are communicating correctly (see 

). You may also want to back up 

several megabytes of data with the new tape drive and perform a comparison 

check on the backed-up data. This determines whether the software and tape 

drive are communicating properly.

The only autoloader components that should be cleaned are the tape drive 

and the operator panel. 



Instructions for cleaning the tape drive are provided on 



To clean the LCD, use wipes or cleaners appropriate for LCD screens or 

computer monitors.

The autoloader’s internal components are lubricated at the factory and should not 

be cleaned or relubricated.

To avoid scratching the LCD, do not use abrasive cleaners, abrasive cleaning 

implements, harsh chemicals, or solvents.
