Remote Management Unit: Dell PowerVault 124T DLT VS160 Autoloader User's Guide
Setting the Magazines
This setting is used to report the number of storage elements and the element address to the SCSI host. This setting must
match the physical configuration in order for correct information to be reported. This setting only affects the information
reported to the SCSI host. This setting does not affect the access to magazine slots from the front panel or the Remote
Management Unit. Those interfaces are based on the physical configuration.
NOTE: The default setting of 'Left' must be reconfigured if the optional right magazine is installed. Host backup software
may also require reconfiguration if the loader was originally installed with only the default left magazine enabled.
When configured for Both magazines, the autoloader always reports 16 storage elements to the SCSI host. This allows the
removal and reinstallation of magazines without affecting what is reported to the host. When configured for Left or Right,
the autoloader will always report 8 storage elements to the SCSI host.
The element addresses vary depending on which magazine is configured. If Left or Right is selected, and both magazines are
physically installed, the front panel and the Remote Management Unit allow the user access to the other magazine, but the
SCSI host will not have access.
To set the Magazines option:
1. From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.
2. Scroll to Magazines. The Magazines options display.
A radio button appears after the currently enabled mode.
3. Do one of the following:

Setting the System Time
The system time is displayed by the Remote Management Unit and it is used internally for logging events and errors (see
"Setting the Time").
The autoloader must be reset after each power up. The time can be reset automatically if a time server is configured (see
"Setting Network Options"). Otherwise, the time must be set manually from the front panel or through the Remote
Management Unit. The time zone setting is not lost when powered off.
NOTE: Whether the autoloader is connected to a time server or not, if you want to include time changes for daylight
savings time, you must change the time zone manually.
To set the system time:
1. Using the first drop-down list next to Time Zone, select the number of hours difference between your local time and
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
NOTE: For example, if you live in Colorado, the time difference is –6 hours in the summer and –7 hours in the
winter.
2. Below the Time Zone field, select the current Month from the drop-down list.
3. In the Day field, type the current day of the month.
4. In the Year field, type the current year.
5. In the Hour text box, type the current hour in 24-hour format.
6. In the Minute text box, type the current minute.
