screw if you wish to move or transport the AIT library
in the future. Retain them for future use.
1 Remove the AIT library from the box as indicated
on the box.
Remove the packing materials, such as plastic
covers and tapes.
2 Remove the transport screw (turn

Installing the AIT library / Connecting the Power Cable
6
Installing the AIT library
The library weighs about 13.5 kg (29.8 lb.) and has the
following dimensions. Before installing the library,
make sure that the surface on which you are placing it is
large and strong enough.
Also, set the library horizontally so that its front and
sides are inclined by no more ±1 degree in any direction.
When using the ACY-RK81 rack mounting kit (sold
separately), you can install the AIT library on most
universal EIA_STANDARD 19-inch racks. Contact
your dealer for information about the rack mounting kit.
Note
Install the AIT library on a horizontal surface near an
AC power outlet. Also, leave a gap of about 150mm (5.9
in.) behind the rear of the unit to allow air to circulate.
Connecting the Power
Cable
1 Confirm that the power switch on the rear of the
AIT library is turned off (ais pressed).
2 Connect one end of the power cable to the power
supply connector and the other end to the electric
outlet.

Connecting to the Host Computer 7
Connecting to the Host
Computer
Connect the AIT library and the host computer with a
SCSI cable. This section explains general connecting
steps. Connect the library with the appropriate SCSI
cable, depending on the AIT drive.
• When the library is equipped with an AIT-3 or AIT-4
drive, use a commercially available Ultra 160 cable.
• When the library is equipped with an AIT-1 or AIT-2
drive, use a commercially available Wide Ultra LVD
SCSI cable that conforms to SCSI-3.
The library side uses the 68-pin half pitch connector.
When connecting other SCSI devices together with the
AIT Library, see “Connecting SCSI Peripheral Devices”
in the “Others” chapter in the “Operating Instructions”
(PDF).
Caution
• Do not connect the AIT library to the HVD (High
Voltage Differential) SCSI bus. If connected, the
library or other devices on the SCSI bus may be
damaged.
• When connecting the SCSI cable, turn off all of the
connecting devices, including the libraly and the host
computer.
• When connecting the AIT library as the last device on
the SCSI bus, be sure to attach the provided
terminator.
• In LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI, make the
total length of the SCSI cable (internal and external),
which connects the host computer and the device at
the end of the SCSI bus, shorter than 12 meters (39 ft.
4.4 in). (The length of the AIT library internal cable is
2 meters (78.7 in.).)
• SCSI cables cannot be branched.
Notes
• For information about the SCSI bus, refer to “SCSI
Specifications” in the “Others” chapter, in the
“Operating Instructions” (PDF).
• Prepare the necessary SCSI cables. For information
about SCSI cable specifications, refer to “SCSI Cable
and Terminator Specifications” in the “Others”
chapter, in the “Operating Instructions” (PDF).
1 Confirm that the power to the host computer and
AIT library are turned off.
2 Attach the SCSI cable and terminator as shown in
the figure below.
1Use a SCSI cable (sold at stores) to connect the
AIT library to the host computer.
2Attach the provided terminator to connector.

Turning the Power On/Off
8
Turning the Power On/
Off
Turn the Power On
Turn on the AIT library power, then turn on the host
computer power.
1 Press the power switch on the rear of the library.
The following message appears and the startup
process begins. (Startup takes several minutes.)
When the startup process ends, the library enters
the time setting mode.
Caution
Models equipped with a bar code reader
By default, the library is not set to read bar codes. If you
modify this setting so that the library can read bar codes
and use cartridges without bar code labels, initialization
after turning on the library becomes unusually long. For
details about how to set the library to read bar codes,
refer to Chapter 3, “Basic Usage” in the “Operating
Instructions” (PDF).
Models without a bar code reader
Modifying the default setting so that the library can read
bar codes generates an error. You should not modify this
setting.
2 If you want to change the date and time, press the
[ENTER] button. If you do not want to make
changes, press the [CANCEL] button.
For details about the date and time settings, refer to
“Setting the Date and Time” in “Installation” in
chapter 2, in the “Operating Instructions” (PDF).
Once the library is started, the status display below
appears.
Notes
• The date and time cannot be updated when the AIT
library is off. For this reason we recommend that you
set the date and time each time that you turn on the
library.
• If the library is left idle for five minutes, the status
display appears automatically.
3 After pressing the power switch on the rear of the
library, wait at least 10 seconds before turning on
the host computer.
When using DHCP, wait at least 30 seconds.
Then go to “Initial Setup” in “Installation” in
chapter 2, in the “Operating Instructions” (PDF).
Notes
• If you start the host computer before the library, the
SCSI ID is not detected correctly. Therefore, you must
always start the library before starting the host
computer.
• If the library does not work as above, refer to
“Troubleshooting” in the “Appendix” chapter, in the
“Operating Instructions” (PDF).
Turn the Power Off
Before turning off the library, perform the system
shutdown procedure from the control panel. When you
have performed the procedure, you can turn off the
library.
1 At the status display, press the [MENU] button for
two seconds.
2 Use the Vand vbuttons to select “9. System
Down”, then press the [ENTER] button.

[ENTER] button.
The system performs the shutdown procedure.
5 When the following message appears, turn off the
library by pressing the power switch on the rear.
Caution
• Even though pressing the rear power switch can turn
off the library power, following the above steps is
recommended.
• After turning the AIT library off, wait at least 10
seconds before turning it on again.
• Before transport make sure that you turn off the AIT
library using the procedure above, and that the
transport screw is in the Shipping position.
Note
To avoid pressing the control buttons by accident, you
can disable the control buttons. For information on how
to disable the switch, refer to “Disabling the Buttons on
the Front Panel” in “Basic Usage” in chapter 3, in the
“Operating Instructions” (PDF).
What’s next?
Read the Operating Instructions, install cartridges, make
network connections as necessary, then make settings
required to use the library. Procedures for making
settings and using the library are given in the Operating
Instructions (PDF) together with usage precautions and
other necessary information. Please be sure to read it.
