• Make sure that the host server has an open expansion slot.
• Make sure your backup application supports the SCSI host adapter.
• Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the 

SCSI ID of the ValueLoader (see 

 on page 34).

• Ensure the ValueLoader is properly terminated. If the ValueLoader is 

the only SCSI device (other than the SCSI host adapter) on the SCSI 

bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the ValueLoader is physically 

the last SCSI device on the SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Only the 

devices physically at the beginning and end of the SCSI bus should be 

terminated.

• Verify the connection between the ValueLoader and host by making 

sure the host server’s operating system recognizes the ValueLoader.

There are two device drivers associated with the ValueLoader: one for 

ValueLoader robotics and another for the tape drive within the 

ValueLoader.

The device drivers supplied at 

 are required 

if you intend to use Microsoft Windows 2000 native backup 

application. Commercial backup applications provide all 

necessary device driver support. Refer to 

 

for a list of compatible backup applications. Please note that 

Windows NT does not include native support for ValueLoaders. A 

backup application must be used.
