3-40 Compaq TL881 Minilibrary System Users Guide 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. NOTE: The options described in Table 3-2 and Table 3 -3 represent the version of the 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 the Compaq Website listed in the front of this manual.

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
