First, get the excellent installation docs for that tape drive,
possibly by downloading the pdf files from their support site.

That changer has very specific OS requirements for installation
including dip switch settings, and the dip switchs are in part,
inside the case requiring case removal.

Next, make sure you have the programs mt and mtx.  Get them
working to load/unload tapes and magazines and get the status
of the tape changer status (mtx) and can rewind a tape and
get the status of the tape drive (mt).

This may require you getting your OS to recognize multiple LUN's
for the scsi driver.

Only then start looking at the amanda how-to docs.
