Set Negotiation Mode: This option offers two choices: Initiate Negotiation
and Set Transfer Rate. Initiate Negotiation, if set, allows the system to initiate
SCSI Synchronous Negotiation with the host (the default is No). The
Expansion always responds to host-initiated negotiation. Set Transfer Rate can
be set to 10 Mbytes/sec, 5 Mbytes/sec or Asynchronous. The default is 10
Mbytes/sec.
Set Mail Slot: Some of the available host software enables the system
administrator to limit access to the library as a whole while permitting
insertion into or removal from the library of one or more tape cartridges when
needed. This feature is commonly called a mail slot. It is implemented using
SCSI Import/Export elements.
Set Reserved Slots: Some host software imposes size limits on tape library
magazines for licensing purposes, and will not operate with a library that
exceeds the licensed size. This configuration option enables you to withdraw
some of the slots in the Expansion Unit from use as storage slots in order to
meet licensing requirements.
Set Special Configuration: This option contains predefined Compaq
operational configurations. Refer to Table 3-3, Special Configuration Options,
for default configuration characteristics.
Set Default: This option resets all of the preceding configuration options to
their factory defaults. It does not affect the settings of the SCSI IDs of the
DLT drives.
The following tables, Table 3-2, MiniLibrary Configuration Options, and
Table 3-3, MiniLibrary Special Configuration Options summarize the
configuration settings for the Mini-Library MiniLibrary Base Module.

firmware in use when this manual was written. If the displays on your control panel differ
from those described here, you may find an up to date listing of configuration options on
