beginning the installation procedure

About this document

This document provides instructions for adding a tape drive

cluster to an HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series tape library.

Before you begin

Caution: Before continuing with the installation procedure,

ensure the library is powered off and that the main switches

on the power distribution unit are turned off (to the left).

Caution: Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.

Keep parts in their containers until needed. Ensure you are

properly grounded when touching static-sensitive

components.

Installing the drive cluster

The library may contain up to 24 tape drives in 6 drive clusters

(see Figure 1).

Figure 1: Drive cluster numbering

1. Make sure the back door of the library is open to access the

drive cluster bays (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Library (back view)

Note: Drive clusters must be installed sequentially from top to bottom

(clusters 0 through 5). There can be no gaps between drive clusters.

2. Before continuing with the installation procedure, ensure the

library is powered off and that the main switches on the

power distribution unit are in the off (left) position.

3. Using a 11/32-inch nut driver, remove the four nuts securing

the cluster bin panel to the library (see Figure 3).

Figure 3: Removing a cluster bin panel

Note: Retain the cable clamp and ensure it remains attached to the

drive cluster (see Figure 4). The clamp will be used for routing SCSI

cables.

4. Align the drive cluster with the cabinet supports and insert it

into the library.

5. Add the cable clamp on top of the lower right screw hole on

the cluster.

6. Secure the cluster and cable clamp to the library frame using

four Phillips screws (see Figure 4).

Figure 4: Installing the drive cluster

7. Repeat step 2 through step 6 for each additional drive cluster

to be installed.

Connecting drive cluster cables

1. Connect a power cable from the front of the power

distribution unit, located on the lower left side of the library,

to the drive cluster power connector below the power supplies

by routing it through the left cable access channel (see

Figure 5).

2. Connect the I

C communications cable located to the right of

each drive cluster to the I

C connector on the cluster

controller (see Figure 6).
