SCSI mode

In this standard operating mode, the application software 
controls the motion of the robot by issuing SCSI com-
mands across the SCSI bus.
Note: The application software can issue commands to 
the library regardless of the control mode. However, the 
library must be in SCSI mode for the software to control 
robot motion.

Sequent1
and
Sequent2

In these modes, the robot picks all cartridges sequentially, 
from the first cartridge in the magazine through the last 
cartridge in the fixed slots (or the last data cartridge slot 
specified by the Max Addressable Slot option. In Sequent1 
mode, the cartridges are processed in Drive 1 only. In 
Sequent2 mode, the cartridges are processed in Drive 2 
only.

LCD mode

If you want to perform any operations from the operator 
panel that involve moving the robot, you need to set the 
library to LCD mode. 

Console mode

In this mode, you can control the motions of the robot from 
a remote console program connected to the library’s 9-pin 
serial port. For more information about the console pro-
gram, see the Diagnostics and Firmware chapter
