How to Use This Guide
This guide may be read entirely; however, it is more important that you familiarize
yourself with the overall organization and location of various information for reference
purposes.
Chapters 1 and 2 provide general overview information that is useful to anyone associated
with the Automated Cartridge System and the HSC software. It is recommended by
StorageTek that these two chapters be read and understood.
Most of the information in this guide is of primary interest to the system programmer and
computer system administrator. The HSC Installation Guide is used when installing the
HSC and may be referred to later. The remainder of the guide contains reference
information that you will refer to as needed.
