1 Product Overview Section 1 includes: Overview 1-1 CT9840FC-3 Tape Drive 1-1 NonStop S-series Tape Enclosure 1-9 9840 Tape Cartridges 1-15 Overview The 9840 tape drive is a high-performance tape drive designed for the NonStop server environment. The 9840 tape drive uses a Fibre Channel Converter to connect to the server. The tape drive provides fast average access time, high data rates, and high capacity.
Product Overview Tape Drive Configuration With Fibre Channel Converter Figure 1-1. Example of the Tape Drive Configuration Fibre Channel Converter SCSI Port The Fibre Channel converter is a high-voltage differential (HVD) model that supports ultrawide data transfer at up to 40 MB/sec per channel and has internal SCSI termination. One SCSI channel on the Fibre Channel converter connects to a supported SCSI port on the NonStop S-series server.

NonStop S-series Tape Enclosure Product Overview NonStop S-series Tape Enclosure The Nonstop S-series enclosures can be purchased as a base enclosure or a stackable enclosure. The enclosures come without a door, so drives are easily accessed. An ESD rear cover is provided to cover the wiring and cables.
Product Overview Dimensions Figure 1-3.
Rear Cover Product Overview Rear Cover The rear cover of the tape enclosure comes already attached. See Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4. Tape Enclosure with a Rear Cover Attached Extra Rivets Rivets Installed The rear cover is shipped with eight pushbutton rivets. Two of the rivets are already installed on the rear of the enclosure as shown in Figure 1-4. Two more rivets will need to be installed after the cabling is complete. The other four rivets are spares.
Product Overview Configuration Options Configuration Options Two tape enclosures can be stacked on each other. See Figure 1-5. If two tape enclosures are stacked, the bottom shelf in the bottom enclosure must be left empty. Figure 1-5. Two Stacked Tape Enclosures A tape enclosure can be stacked on top of a system enclosure. See Figure 1-6. All three shelves can be used in the tape enclosure.
Product Overview Configuration Options Figure 1-6. Tape Enclosure on System Enclosure Caution. Do not stack a system enclosure on a tape enclosure. Because the server is heavier than the tape enclosure, stacking it on top of the tape enclosure makes the unit to be unstable. See Figure 1-7. Figure 1-7.
Product Overview Configuration Options Base Tape Enclosure Only the top two shelves in the base tape enclosure are usable. The bottom shelf should remain empty. The base tape enclosure can store up to four tape drives. Stackable Tape Enclosure All three shelves in the stackable tape enclosure are usable. The stackable tape enclosure can hold up to six tape drives. Figure 1-8.
Product Overview 9840 Tape Cartridges Putting Together a Stackable Tape Enclosure and a Base Tape Enclosure To stack a tape enclosure, contact your service provider. Instructions are located in the NonStop S-Series Service Provider Supplement. 9840 Tape Cartridges Currently, there are two types of 9840 tape cartridges. The standard and the VolSafe cartridge: • • The standard cartridge uses white labels and can be write protected. If not write protected, data can be written over.

5 Maintaining the Tape Drive This section includes: Identifying Unrecoverable Tapes 5-1 Forcing a Diagnostic Dump 5-1 Maintenance Procedures 5-3 Identifying Unrecoverable Tapes Caution. Do not degauss (erase) 9840 tape cartridges. Servo tracks are written on the tape at the factory. When these tracks are mistakenly erased as by degaussing, you must discard the tape cartridge. 1. An unrecoverable defective tape, including a degaussed tape, fails in all operations or most operations.
Maintaining the Tape Drive Forcing a Diagnostic Dump From the Operator Panel Forcing a Diagnostic Dump From the Operator Panel To force an immediate diagnostic dump from the operator panel to the EEPROM: 1. Press the Menu and Unload switches for one second to dump present drive status from memory to EEPROM. Dump data collection begins when “CHK FFFF” appears and the Power indicator begins to flash. 2. Observe the Service indicator. When the dump data collection is complete, the Service indicator flashes.
Maintaining the Tape Drive Maintenance Procedures Maintenance Procedures Recovering From a Stuck Tape Cartridge When you press the Unload switch, or when the unload function is electronically triggered, and the cartridge fails to eject, you must manually remove it. Caution. In the following procedure, to avoid damage to the gears do not turn the screw driver counter-clockwise. 1. Insert a flat screwdriver through the hole on the right side of the operator panel on the tape drive. 2.

Operator Panel Messages Troubleshooting 3. To isolate the problem: a. Re-save the configuration again. Because the configuration is already apparently correct, re-saving the configuration again generates and stores a new checksum. If an unused bit of the RAM is bad, it is now included in the ASIA checksum and does not show up again as an error. b. Perform an IPL on the drive. c. If the error is not repeated, it is indicated that an unused bit in the RAM is bad. This problem can now be disregarded.
Troubleshooting Operator Panel Messages Pressing the Unload switch again causes loss of this data. For the server to save the unwritten data, you must issue the following command sequence before pressing Unload again: In the SCSI environment: Recover Buffer Data Handling a DumpAgain? Indication The “DumpAgain?” display alternates with a “CHK xxxx” fault symptom code indication while the Service light flashes. This occurs when the identical “CHK xxxx” fault symptom code is detected within one minute.
