2-2 Description 600561-A
2- Overview An in-depth description of the subsystem, tape cartridge, storage and drive configuration, and optional features are provided. Subsystem Description The Scalar 1000 is a library that automates the retrieval, storage and control of half-inch type cartridge tapes (8490, 3480, 3590/E), DLT (4000, 7000, and 8000) and 8mm (AIT) type cartridges. If the library is configured for 8mm cartridges, no other cartridge type may be used in the library.
Figure 2-1 Scalar 1000 Frames Host Attachment The Scalar 1000 contains two independent SCSI device adapters that offer additional flexibility during installation. The library can be configured with either the High Voltage Differential (HVD) or Low Voltage Differential/Single Ended (LVD/SE) SCSI card, depending on the host adapter. Each SCSI bus must be terminated with the appropriate HVD or LVD/SE terminator.
As an alternative, the Scalar 1000 can be network attached through an Archive Management Unit (AMU) in a main frame, UNIX, or Windows NT environment. Contact a sales representative for additional information about using the AMU. The Scalar 1000 can also be connected to a Fibre Channel Host via the ADIC Fibre Channel Router (FCR). The ADIC FCR provides one or two SCSI parallel bus connections and a Fibre Channel connection, translating (bridging) the SCSI protocol between these two media types.
Functional Description The Scalar 1000 can be installed on a solid or a raised floor. The cartridge accessor moves cartridges between storage cells, tape drives and the Insert/Eject Station (I/E Station). The cartridge accessor includes the gripper. A barcode scanner on the gripper identifies the cartridges in cells. Refer to Cartridge Accessor on page 2-12 for additional details.

Figure 2-5 Gripper The cartridge accessor has: • A gripper assembly for mounting a cartridge gripper, and a barcode scanner. • • 01 Aug 2000 A cartridge gripper picks and places cartridges in storage cells, tape drives or the Insert/Eject station. A barcode scanner reads the external labels on the cartridges. The barcode scanner is used during the inventory and teach processes.
Insert/Eject Station The Insert/Eject Station allows insertion and ejection of cartridges without interrupting the normal operation of the library. The I/E Station has a capacity of 12 half-inch cartridges or 18 8mm cartridges. For a Mixed Media library of half-inch and DLT cartridges, the top 6 slots of the Insert/Eject Station are reserved for half-inch cartridges and the bottom 6 slots are reserved for DLT cartridges. Refer to Figure 2-6 on page 2-14.
Tape Cartridge Each tape cartridge in the Scalar 1000 must have an external label that is operator and machine readable to identify the bar code (BC) number. The external label contains a minimum of 5 characters and a maximum of 16 characters for the BC depending on the operating modes.
Cartridge Storage and Tape Drive Configurations Cartridge storage quantity varies by number of modules and tape drives in the modules. Table 2-6 lists the quantity of media contained by the storage cells for the Control Module and Expansion Modules configured for the different media types. Note The Scalar 1000 consists of a Control Module and up to 3 Expansion Modules.

6- Overview During the course of normal operations, it may become necessary to add or remove storage cartridges to or from the library. Two methods are available to insert or eject storage cartridges. Information is also supplied about processing the media and using cleaning media. Inserting Media Placing new media into the library is accomplished by using the Insert/Eject Station. Alternately, the cartridge could be placed directly into a specific storage cell location by the Operator.
Direct Insertion into the Control or Expansion Module STATIC SENSITIVE There are two levels of access control. The first is a mechanical lock which is manipulated by the key. The second is password protection which is invoked by either the host SCSI Mode Select command, LCD Page Security option, or through the Security option on the Operator panel. To directly insert media, follow this procedure. If enabled, all locks must be disabled before the procedure will succeed.
Insert/Eject Station Using the Insert/Eject Station to remove cartridges does not disrupt library operations. To remove cartridges through the Insert/Eject Station, follow this procedure. Step 1 Issue a SCSI MOVE MEDIUM command from the host with the source storage cell and the destination Insert/Eject Station cell. — or — Execute the Eject command from the Operator panel. Refer to Eject Dialog on page 5-61. The Insert/Eject Station is locked while the accessor moves the cartridge.
Direct Removal from the Control or Expansion Module STATIC SENSITIVE There are two levels of access control. The first is a mechanical lock which is manipulated by the key. The second is password protection which is invoked by either the host SCSI Mode Select command, LCD Page Security option, or through the Security option on the Operator panel. To directly remove media, follow this procedure. If enabled, all locks must be disabled before the procedure will succeed.
Note The 6 character 8mm bar code labels contain a 7th character checksum, which is ignored in DEFAULT media mode, is reported as A in MIXED media mode, and interpreted as part of the bar code in EXTENDED mode. The labels may have 5-16 characters (library in EXTENDED media mode), or 6 characters plus a possible media identifier character (library in DEFAULT media mode), or 6 characters with an additional media identifier character (library in MIXED media mode).

This label can be used only when mixed media is disabled. 2 This is a 6 character Code 39 backward printed label for a half inch cartridge. This label can be used only when mixed media is disabled.
5 This is a 6 character Tri-Optic forward printed label with one additional character media identifier for a half inch cartridge. This label can be used in both mixed media enabled and mixed media disabled applications. 6 This is a 6 character Code 39 forward printed label for a DLT cartridge. This label can be used only when mixed media is disabled. 7 This is a 6 character Code 39 forward printed label for a DLT cartridge. This label can be used only when mixed media is disabled.
Note • It is possible to use the Insert/Eject station as storage for cleaning media but this practice is not recommended. Under the Commands Menu selection, Insert/Eject Submenu, and Clean Media Insert Dialog, move either a single media or bulk load cleaning media from the Insert/Eject station to the designated empty storage cells. Refer to Insert Clean Tape Dialog on page 5-56. As an alternate method, open the Scalar 1000 door(s) and manually bulk load the cleaning media into empty storage cells.
Since the Scalar 1000 will go NOTREADY for the duration of the cleaning operation, the Delayed option should be initiated during routine or normal downtime. • If the Immediate option is selected, every dismount causes the firmware to check for a cleaning request from the drive and, if requested, cleans the drive immediately. If the firmware receives a clean drive request, the dismount response is held until the cleaning process has finished.
