Important Your library has been shipped to
you with the tape drives pre-installed. For libraries
that will operate with fewer than four tape drives,
drive blanks have been installed in the unused
carrier slots. For more information, see “Using
drive blanks” on page 140.
Step 3 – Prepare the host computer
Make sure your SCSI host bus adapter card or cards installed in
the host computer and its application software are compatible
with your library and the tape drives you are using. You can
obtain software compatibility information for Exabyte products
from Exabyte’s web site (www.exabyte.com).
You can install the software application on the host computer
before or after library installation. However, if you install the
software first, you may need to reconfigure it for use with the
library.
