    STORAGEEXPRESS: LOADING THE NMS OPTION KIT TAPE WITH A DAT AUTOCHANGER

    
       Symptom:
    
       The tape provided in the NMS Option Kit does not load properly in a DAT
    
       autochanger drive when the autochanger is configured as SCSI drive 1
    
       (Changer 1).
    
    
    
       Solution:
    
       Replace the procedure on page 13 of the NMS Option Kit Setup Guide with
    
       the following:
    
    
    
         1. From Central Console at the management workstation, connect to the
    
            StorageExpress system.
    
    
    
         2. At the Central Console window, choose Utilities, then choose Reboot
    
            or Shut Down.
    
    
    
         3. If your StorageExpress software is v1.4 or 1.3:
    
    
    
           a.  Choose Shutdown, then Reboot into Maintenance Mode. Then click
    
              on the Shut Down button.
    
    
    
           b.  Go to the StorageExpress system. Proceed with step 4 when the
    
              control unit LCD reads, "Waiting for remote connection. Press any
    
              key to select Local Maintenance Mode."
    
    
    
            If your StorageExpress software is v1.5 or later:
    
    
    
           a.  Choose Shutdown, then Reboot into Maintenance Mode. Then click
    
              on the Shut Down button.
    
    
    
           b.  Go to the StorageExpress system. Proceed with step 4 when the
    
              control unit LCD displays the Maintenance Mode Menu.
    
    
    
         4. At the StorageExpress system, press the Eject button on the
    
            autochanger to eject the tape magazine.
    
    
    
         5. Insert the option kit tape into slot 1 of the magazine and insert
    
            the magazine into the autochanger.
    
    
    
         6. When "Mag Loaded" appears on the autochanger's LCD, press the Tape
    
            Select button until slot 1 is selected.
    
    
    
         7. Press the Tape Load button on the autochanger and wait until the
    
            autochanger's LCD flashes "Ready" and "Read Only."
    
    
    
         8. If your StorageExpress software is v1.5 or later, skip to step 9.
    
    
    
            If your StorageExpress software is v1.4 or 1.3, press any button on
    
            the StorageExpress control unit to continue booting into
    
            Maintenance Mode.
    
    
    
         9. At the control unit's Maintenance Mode Menu, choose Configure Boot
    
            Options, then choose Set to NetWare Mode.
    
    
    
         10.Choose OK when the LCD prompts, "Boot into NetWare Mode Now?"
    
    
    
            While booting into NetWare mode, the StorageExpress system loads
    
            the NMS software from the NMS Option Kit tape onto its hard disk. 
    
            (This can take several minutes.)
    
    
    
         11.When the LCD screen reads "StorageExpress system is ready," press
    
            the Eject button on the autochanger to eject the magazine.  Remove
    
            the NMS Option Kit tape and store it in a safe place.
    
    
    
       The NMS files are now installed on your StorageExpress system and the
    
       server portion of NMS (NetExplorer.NLM) is running.
    
    
    
       To install the NMS console software on your management workstation,
    
       refer to page 14 of the NMS Option Kit Setup Guide.
