Jumpers

SW1—Configuration Switches

Set the configuration switches. SW1 switches 1 through 8 can be accessed through the cutout at the rear of the unit where the step-down occurs. (Figure 1) Figure 2 shows the default settings for the Autoloaders for these switches on SW1 (view looking from the rear of the unit down into the cutout) and illustrates the switch settings for selecting the SCSI address.

Note: .The drive must be turned OFF; then, ON in order for switch settings to take effect, or a SCSI bus reset must be received.

SCSI Device Address (S1 through S3)

The three switches S1 through S3 correspond to the SCSI device address identification bits 0 (LSB) through 2 (MSB), respectively, which provides the SCSI ID. The default setting is SCSI device address 0 (S1 through S3 = OFF). Be sure that no other device on the SCSI bus has the same SCSI address. The Autoloader uses a single SCSI ID.

Media Recognition System (MRS) (S4)

The S4 switch enables or disables Media Recognition System (MRS) mode. The default is MRS disabled (S4 = ON). If S4 is ON, the drive reads or writes both MRS and non-MRS 4-mm media.

If S4 is OFF, the drive only writes to MRS media. The drive reports a check condition if the media is nondata grade, and the Sense key will be 07, Data Protect. The additional Sense Code and qualifier will be 30/00, Incompatible Media Installed. The drive reads any kind of 4-mm media when S4 is OFF.

Parity Enable/Disable (S5)

The S5 switch enables or disables parity and checking for the SCSI bus. The default is parity disabled (S5 = OFF).

DDS Pass-Through Mode Enable/Disable (S6)

The S6 switch enables or disables DDS pass-through mode. The default is DDS pass-through mode disabled (S6 = OFF).

Note: When S6 is OFF, DDS-DC data compression is enabled during writing. When S6 is ON, DDS-DC data compression is disabled. When being read by the Autoloader, DDS-DC compressed data is always decompressed, regardless of the position of S6.

The function of the S6 switch can be overridden by the proper SCSI MODE SELECT command issued from the host computer. Regardless of the position of S6, the MODE SELECT command can enable or disable data compression.

Reserved Switch (S7)

Power-on Self-Test Mode Enable/Disable (S8)

The S8 switch enables or disables execution of power-on self-test diagnostics when the power comes ON. The default is power-on self-test mode disabled (S8 = OFF). If ON, the drive responds to SCSI commands after successful completion of the test (about 5 seconds). S8 = ON enables power-on self-test mode.
