But don't forget the sleep timer bug (STL only).

If you happen to use an STL (ACSLS, etc) then you should also set the
barcode flag in the jukebox resource. Some releases of Networker ignore the
sleep timer if no flags have been selected.

Always worth having up to date firmware, but you could also consider
increasing the "unload sleep" and "eject sleep" attributes of the NSR
jukebox resource. The defaults are usually too low for DLT 7000 drives.
