2 Installing the library NOTE: For configure-to-order libraries, kits ship with power cables appropriate to the region instead of US standard power cables.
Cabling the library The following sections include procedures for cabling the library. These procedures will be slightly different for the e2400-160 interface controller and Ultrium 460 drives, the e2400-FC 2Gb and 4Gb interface controller and Ultrium 460-FC and 960 drives, and the e2400-FC 2Gb interface controller and Ultrium 1840 and 3280 drives. The instructions for cabling each type of library are presented below.
NOTE: A step stool may be needed to reach the e2400-160 interface controllers in the card cage located at the top of the library cabinet. 1. Attach a SCSI terminator (provided) to the top SCSI port on each Ultrium 460 or SDLT drive (see Figure 24). 1. Terminators Figure 24 Attaching SCSI terminators to the Ultrium 460 or SDLT drive . 2. Remove the top screw from the cable restraint bracket and loosen the bottom one to prepare for cable routing (see Figure 25).
3. Connect the SCSI cables from the drives in drive cluster 0 to the e2400-160 interface controller in slot 0 of the card cage (see Figure 26). 1. Port 0 2. Port 1 3. Port 2 4. Port 3 A. Drive A B. Drive B C. Drive C D. Drive D Figure 26 Matching drives and interface controller ports . NOTE: Drive SCSI cables are labeled “A”, ”B”, ”C”, and ”D” on the drive end to indicate the drive location.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws that secure the cable to the drive port. b. Route each cable through the cable access holes in the sheet metal on the right of the library cabinet. For drive clusters 0 through 2, dip the excess cable length down into the upper cable access hole. For drive clusters 3 through 5, route the cables up through the lower and upper access holes. Push the first set of cables to the back of the library to create space for additional cables.
c. Continue routing the cable up through the cable restraint bracket located to the right of the card cage and attach the cable to the corresponding SCSI port on the e2400-160 interface controller. NOTE: Tighten the SCSI connector screw on the left and then the right for easier installation due to cable interference. Pull the cable toward you to provide more clearance when tightening the right connector screw. d. e. 38 Repeat these steps until all SCSI drives are connected.
4. The e2400-160 interface controller ships with several sets of tie wraps. Each color set should be used to designate a different drive cluster (see Figure 28). 1. Color tie wrap 2. White tie wrap 3. Matching color tie wrap Figure 28 Attaching the tie wraps . NOTE: Make sure that different colors of tie wraps are used for each drive cluster and e2400-160 interface controller combination. If you have multiple sets of the same color, do not use them within the same library.
NOTE: The other white tie wraps are provided as spares. 5. Route the SCSI cables through the cluster cable clamp on the lower right corner of the cluster frame (see Figure 29). Figure 29 Routing cables through the cluster cable clamp . 6. a. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw from the clamp. b. Route the SCSI cables through the clamp. c. Secure the clamp to the cluster frame by replacing the screw.
3. Connect the FC cables to a switch or an HBA. NOTE: You can connect directly to an HBA or to a switch. The default is to connect to a switch. For detailed procedures for connecting to an HBA, please see HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View TL User Guide. Figure 30 Connecting FC cables for LTO3 or earlier tape drives .
2. Attach the cable to the front Ethernet port on the cabinet controller located at the base of the library. The ports are on the right side toward the back of the cabinet controller (see Figure 31). 1. Ethernet ports Figure 31 Connecting the cabinet controller LAN cable .
Powering on the library You are now ready to power on the library and make sure that all components are functioning properly (see Figure 32). 1. Front door latch 2. Power button Figure 32 Powering on the library . NOTE: Normally, all library doors should be closed before powering on the library; however, to confirm that all components are functioning properly after the initial installation, leave the back library door open. 1.

3 Loading tape cartridges Before configuring the library you need to load the appropriate tape cartridges. For information about tape cartridges needed for each tape drive type, please see HP StorageWorks Tape Libraries Media and Bar Code Labels flyer. This chapter includes the following sections: • “Preparing tape cartridges” on page 45 • “Library storage locations and slot numbering” on page 50 NOTE: Tape cartridges and cleaning cartridges must be ordered specifically.
labels on your tape cartridges. Your host software may keep track of the following information and the associated bar code: • • • • • Date of format or initialization Media pool of the tape Data residing on the tape Age of the backup Errors encountered while using the tape (to determine if the tape is faulty) Ultrium bar code labels Ultrium cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch.
SDLT bar code labels SDLT cartridges have a front slide slot located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch (see Figure 35). Use this slot for inserting the bar code label by sliding it into the slot. CAUTION: Do not apply labels onto the top, bottom, sides, or back of the cartridge as this may cause damage to the tape drive, or interfere with reliable operation. 1. Barcode label 2. Orange indicator 3. Write protect—slide left 4. Write enabled—slide right 5.
Media label identifiers Be sure to use the proper bar code labels for your drive technology. Table 1 lists the identifier that is found at the end of 7- or 8-character SDLT and Ultrium bar code labels. Table 1 Media label identifiers Cartridge type Density Label identifier SDLT 110/220 GB S or S1 SDLT 160/320 GB S or S2 SDLT 600 300/600 GB 2 Ultrium 230 100/200 GB L1 Ultrium 460 200/400 GB L2 Ultrium 960 400/800 GB L3 LT (WORM) Ultrium 1840 800 GB/1.
Setting the write-protect switch Each tape cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the tape cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the tape cartridge is protected from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Write-protecting Ultrium tape cartridges By moving the switch to the left (Figure 36), the tape cartridge is write-enabled. By moving the switch to the right, the tape cartridge is write-protected. 1. Write-enabled 2.
Write-protecting SDLT tape cartridges By moving the switch to the left (Figure 37), the tape cartridge is write-protected (orange indicator is visible). By moving the switch to the right, the tape cartridge is write-enabled (orange indicator is not visible). 1. Barcode label 2. Orange indicator 3. Write protect—slide left 4. Write enabled—slide right 5. Insertion arrow Figure 37 Write-protecting SDLT tape cartridges .

per partition. See HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View TL User Guide to learn about and use library partitioning. Removable magazines are also required in a mixed-media library. These requirements impact library operations in the following ways: • If you convert panel 1 only to a new media type, neither load port can be used to insert or remove media from that panel. Because the left and right load ports are on panels 2 and 5, they must have the same media type as the rest of panels 2 and 5.
