Chapter 2 Configuring the Library
36 PLS200 Library Installation and Operation
Setting Other Configuration Options
After setting the SCSI IDs, you may need to set or check the following
configuration options before putting your library into operation:
• SCSI parity checking for the library
• LCD contrast
• LCD back light
• Library date
• Library time
• Library serial number
• Tape drive model
Setting Parity Checking
NOTE: The BusLogic BT-757CD SCSI adapter board used to connect the PLS200 to
the video disk recorder does not support parity checking for the library. As a
result, it makes no difference whether the setting for the library is ON or
OFF.
The SCSI Parity option allows you to enable parity checking for the library if
the SCSI adapter card connected to the library supports it. When the parity
option is enabled, the library checks all data coming across the SCSI bus for
parity. The setting you specify remains in effect across power cycles.
NOTE: Parity checking can also be enabled and disabled by application software
using a SCSI MODE SELECT command. The method last used to set parity
checking (LCD or SCSI command) has precedence.
