Introduction
The Virtual Library System (VLS) is designed for high-capacity, near and off-line
storage applications, backup, hierarchical storage management (HSM), and
video/design/data file libraries. For the most part, installation is simply a matter of
checking all necessary SCSI connections, installing the software (backup or otherwise)
and applying power. The defaults set at the factory should be sufficient for most
applications.

❐ We assume that you are familiar with your computer system. The VLS must be
incorporated into the host computer system. The backup software, SCSI interface
and SCSI interface cable(s) must be purchased separately.

❐ Mode of operation: You must know whether the VLS will be operating in
sequential or random-access mode. This will be determined by the backup
