Plug the power cable into the nearest properly grounded power 

outlet.

Plug in the host server or workstation and all attached devices.

Turn on the ValueLoader by setting the power switch on the front 

panel to the ON position. Turn on any other devices you turned off 

earlier. Check the LCD screen to make sure the ValueLoader is 

receiving power. If it is not, check the power connectors and your 

power source.
During the Power-On Self Test (POST), all four LEDs are illuminated 

briefly, followed by just the Ready/Activity LED flashing. When the 

initialization sequence is complete, the LCD screen displays the 

Home screen.

Turn on the server.

Preparing the Host and Verifying the Connection

1

If necessary, install a SCSI host adapter, software, and compatible 

driver(s). Refer to the manuals for the host computer and the SCSI host 
adapter for detailed instructions. In addition, follow these general 

guidelines:
• When the host server is powered on, install software, and/or 

driver(s) that are compatible with the ValueLoader (see 

 on page 15). Software compatibility information is 

available at 

. Most backup software packages 

require an additional module to communicate with the ValueLoader 

robotics.

• If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system 

administrator before turning off power.

• Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use 

wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when handling internal 

components.

To disconnect all power from the ValueLoader, remove the 

power cable from the outlet.
