Chapter 1 System Description Introduction The Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series is a tape library system that combines Advanced Intelligent Tape™ (AIT) drive technology with advanced robotics. Designed for high duty-cycle online and near-online applications, such as hierarchical storage management, it is a superior performer in high-volume backup and archival service.
1-2 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series LIbrary Maintenance and Service Guide The drives used in the Library read from and write to 8 mm AIT 2 data tape cartridges with a native capacity of 35 GB or 50 GB (see Table 1-1).
System Description 1-3 Multi-Server Data Sharing A host computer with a SCSI controller connected to a bus is a SCSI initiator. The Library is a SCSI target. SCSI rules permit multiple initiators on a single bus. Therefore, with the proper host software, it is possible to connect multiple hosts to a single Library over a single SCSI bus. This allows multiple hosts to operate the library robotics, loading and unloading cartridges as each host requires.
1-4 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series LIbrary Maintenance and Service Guide Bus Length Limitations A single-ended Fast/Wide SCSI bus is limited in length to 10 ft (3 m), including cabling within the units. A differential Fast/Wide SCSI bus can be up to 82 ft (25 m) in length, including cabling within the units. If all devices and host adapter are LVD, length is limited to 39 ft (12 m).

Installation Configuring the Library The Library is designed with many configuration options, each offering multiple settings to support a variety of applications and platforms. The setting of each option is stored in nonvolatile memory in the unit. For most applications, you do not have to change the factory default settings. If you need to change the configuration, go on to the next section. If you are uncertain whether you need to change a setting, contact your Technical Support representative.
C-36 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Library Maintenance and Service Guide 4. To select a configuration option, press the p or q button on the control panel until the u appears next to the option you want to change. The first two choices on this menu, SCSI Options and Library Options, are actually categories of options. In this case, choose SCSI Options. Press the Enter button to display the options for that category.
Installation Configuring a Library System All Libraries are factory-shipped as stand-alone units. To include them in a multi-unit Library system, you must first configure one unit as the master and all other units as slaves. Any Library can be configured to be a standalone, master, or slave. The Master Unit The master unit controls the operations of a multi-unit Library system. All configuration changes to the system are performed at the operator panel of the master unit.
C-38 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Library Maintenance and Service Guide The Slave Unit You can configure the slave unit on the work bench before installation or after it is installed in a storage cabinet. If you configure it when it is already installed as part of a multi-unit Library system, be sure to either shut off power to the master unit or disconnect the serial cables. This lets you access Menu mode directly, thus avoiding communication interference from the master unit.
