1 Overview of the Tape Library  
This section includes:  
This section contains an overview of the major hardware components of the tape  
library.  
The tape library provides a highly adaptable storage platform made to specifically  
consolidate, protect, and retain customer information. The tape library protects  
customers investments by providing a cost-effective entry point and makes it easy to  
grow the unit with expansion modules.  
The tape library is a self-contained, fully automated tape cartridge storage system. It is  
scalable and mounts into a 19-inch (483-millimeter) rack.  
For each tape library:  
The base module contains the robotics unit and the base unit:  
The robotics unit has the robotic components and the keypad.  
°
The base unit has 50 cartridge slots (including the reserved slots), one or two  
tape drives, and a 5-slot cartridge access port (CAP).  
°
Drive expansion modules and cartridge expansion modules can be added to a  
standard rack to accommodate various slot and tape drive configurations.

Overview of the Tape Library  
Physical Configurations  
Physical Configurations  
Figure 1-3 on page 1-5 shows a tape library with only a base module. Figure 1-4 on  
page 1-6 shows a tape library with a base module that has nine reserved slots, one  
drive expansion module, and one cartridge expansion module.  
Figure 1-5 on page 1-7 shows a tape library with a base module that has two reserved  
slots, one drive expansion module, and one cartridge expansion module.  
Note. In Figure 1-5 on page 1-7, all six tape drives are installed. When only some of the tape  
drives are installed, only those that are powered-on receive SCSI addresses, starting with the  
top-most tape drive.  
The storage slot numbering begins with the first slot after the reserved slots in column 1.  
Figure 1-5 on page 1-7 shows two reserved slots, but there could be more. If the reserved slots  
are configured as storage slots, the top slot (row 1) would be 1. If the CAP in module 1 is  
configured as storage slots, the top CAP slot (row 1) is 62 if there are two reserved slots as  
shown, or 64 if no slots are reserved.  
Figure 1-6 on page 1-8 shows the slot capacity of a cartridge expansion module  
according to which type of module is installed above and below it.  
The numbering scheme uses the tape library, module, row and column scheme. Four  
integers are used to represent the cartridge and tape drive slots, as viewed from the  
front of the tape library.  
1. Library number (always 0)  
2. Library module number 1 (top of rack) through 5 (bottom of rack)  
3. Row number 1 through 9 (base module) or 1 through 12 (expansion module)  
4. Column number 1 through 9 for base module and drive expansion module, 1  
through 11 for cartridge expansion module

Overview of the Tape Library  
Capacities  
Capacities  
Table 1-1 on page 1-10 shows the number of cartridge and tape drive slots available  
depending on the type and number of modules installed.  
Slot counts are based on the following assumptions:  
Capacity includes reserved slots for diagnostic and cleaning cartridges.  
Reserved slots (for cleaning and diagnostic cartridges) are located only in the base  
module on the left side as you open the front door. These slots can be configured  
for data cartridges if desired.  
The base module has a 5-slot CAP; the drive expansion module (DEM) and  
cartridge expansion module (CEM) each have two 5-slot CAPs. These slots can be  
configured for data cartridges if desired.  
When DEMs and CEMs are installed in the same library, the DEMs are above all of  
the CEMs.  
When you add an expansion module below an existing module, you increase the  
capacity of the module directly above it by:  
Base module: +16 slots  
CEM (when another CEM is below it): +10 slots  
CEM (when a DEM is below it): +7 slots  
DEM: +7 slots  
When a CEM is installed below a base module or DEM, the top two rows on columns  
9, 10, and 11 of the CEM are not accessible (-6 slots because of the tape drives).  
The lowest module in the rack requires installation of the floor. The floor limits the  
distance the robot can travel, which makes the bottom row(s) in the lowest module  
inaccessible:  
Base module: -16 slots  
DEM: -7 slots  
CEM (below another CEM): -16 slots (-10 slots on the lowest CEM, -6 slots on the  
CEM above it)  
CEM (below base module or DEM): -16 slots  
Cartridge access ports:  
Base module: 5 slots (one magazine)  
Each DEM: 10 slots (two magazines)  
Each CEM 10 slots (two magazines)

Overview of the Tape Library  
Robotics Unit  
Robotics Unit  
The robotics unit provides movement of cartridges among the storage slots, tape  
drives, and cartridge access ports (CAPs). The three main robotic components are:  
Z drive assembly  
X table assembly  
Hand assembly  
The Z drive assembly uses the Z drive pulley to move the X table up and down to the  
desired slot or tape drive. At the same time, the X carriage assembly (containing the  
hand) moves the hand forward and backward; the wrist motor rotates the hand right  
and left.  
The hand assembly contains the wrist hub assembly, gripper assembly, and bar-code  
scanner. The gripper assembly has fingers that grasp the sides of the cartridge. If the  
library loses power while a cartridge is between the fingers, the manual release screw  
is used to remove the cartridge. A worm gear can be used to rotate the hand to the  
correct position to access the manual release screw.  
For safety purposes, the robotics will be parked in the robotics unit when the front door  
is opened or when the Open Door button is pressed on the keypad. Parked means  
that the robotics components are fully retracted into the robotics unit at the top of the  
library. To verify the robot is parked, look at the lever in the cutout beneath the facade  
and to the bottom left of the keypad, the lever should be to the left.  
The robotics unit is accessible from the front of the rack.

Overview of the Tape Library  
Power System  
Power System  
The base unit has one standard power supply. A second supply can be ordered and  
installed to provide redundant power to the module components. Each supply should  
be plugged into a separate circuit and powered on to provide redundant power. If one  
supply fails, the second supply automatically provides power.  
A single power switch on the back of the tape library is used to power on or power off  
all the power supplies in the rack:  
The ON position is 1.  
The OFF position is 0.  
Cartridge Access Port  
The cartridge access port (CAP) can be used to add cartridges to the tape library, or  
remove cartridges from the tape library without interrupting normal robotic operation.  
The CAP in the base module has one five slot magazine; the CAP in the drive  
expansion module has two five slot magazines.  
Although the CAPs are not physically connected, they are logically connected. If any of  
the CAPs are open, the CAP LED on the keypad will be on, alerting the operator to  
take action to close the CAP. If all of the CAPs are closed, the CAP LED will be off.  
You can use the keypad on the robotics unit to issue a command for the robot to  
unlock the CAP.  
The CAP has two settings, ALLOW and PREVENT. ALLOW is the default setting after  
you power on or reset the tape library. The following table shows how these settings  
affect the CAPs.  
CAP Condition

Overview of the Tape Library  
Audit of Tape Library  
Audit of Tape Library  
An audit is the method by which the tape library keeps track of all cartridge locations  
within the unit. An audit occurs when you:  
Power on the library  
Open and close the front door  
Close the CAP (CAP slots only)  
Initialization occurs when the tape library is powered on or when the front door is  
opened and closed. During initialization, the RLC card applies voltage to the motors  
(gripper, reach, wrist, and Z drive). The robotic components ranges of motion are  
tested, the targets and labels are read for calibration purposes, and the slots are  
audited for cartridge VOLIDs. This information is stored on the RLC card.  
Note.  
When an audit occurs, the tapes in the tape drives are not audited.  
If you manually exchange a cartridge from a tape drive for one in storage, you must update  
the tape management database or an error will occur.  
The bar code scanner on the hand assembly reads the labels on the cartridges.  
Safety Features  
The following subsections describe the safety features that are incorporated into the  
tape library.  
Cards and Power Supply  
The RLC card or SCSI (MPW) interface card, and the power supply are housed inside  
protective modules to prevent you from coming into contact with hazardous voltages  
and sensitive electronics.  
Robotics  
The software parks the robot by retracting it into the robotics unit module before the  
front door can be opened to prevent the robot from being damaged.  
When the front door is opened, power is removed from the robot.  
Front Door  
The front door must be opened with a key to ensure that the data is secure. If the door  
is not fully closed, a sensor relays the condition to the software and the robot remains  
disabled.

Manual Mode  
This section describes the operation of the tape library in manual mode. Manual mode  
occurs then the tape library is taken offline, or loses power, or the front door is opened.  
Opening the Front Door (Without Power)  
To open the front door when no tape library power exists:  
Note. You must manually move the robotics park lever (beneath the facade and to the bottom  
left of the keypad) to the left position so that you can open the door with the key. Under normal  
conditions, the lever signifies that the robot is parked inside the robotics unit at the top of the  
tape library, and the door can be safely opened. When no power exists, the robot is not actually  
parked, but you will be able to open the door when you move the lever to the left.  
Figure 3-2. Lever Not in Parked Position  
1. Press the power switch on the back of the tape library to the OFF position.  
2. Remove the robotic facade from the top of the library by gently pulling the facade  
from side to side to pull the ball studs away from the clips. You might have to use a  
screwdriver to gently pry it off.

Cartridge Information  
Maintain Cartridges  
Maintain Cartridges  
It is important to keep your tape cartridges in good condition. A defective or dirty  
cartridge can damage a tape drive.  
When you store a cartridge:  
Leave it in its protective wrapping until you are ready to use it.  
Choose a clean environment that duplicates the conditions of the room in which it  
is used.  
Make sure the cartridge has been in its operating environment for at least 24  
hours.  
When you clean a cartridge exterior:  
Caution. Do not use certain solvents to remove labels or to clean cartridges because they can  
damage the cartridges. Do not use acetone, trichloroethane, toluene, xylene, benzene, ketone,  
methylethyl ketone, methylene chloride, ethyldichloride, esters, ethyl acetate, or similar  
chemicals.  
Wipe all dust, dirt, and moisture from the cartridge with a lint free cloth.  
Use cleaning wipes that are saturated with isopropyl alcohol. Do not let any  
solution touch the tape or get inside the cartridge.

Apply Cartridge Labels  
Cartridge labels reflect the cartridge media and usage. If your cartridges were not  
ordered with labels already applied, you must apply them yourself. You must correctly  
label all cartridges for tape library use.  
Caution. Possible misread of volume number label: Make sure the edges of the labels do not  
curl. Curling causes the cartridges to stick in the tape drive loader and the robot to misread the  
label.  
Valid Labels  
LTO cartridge labels have eight characters. The last two characters are the Media ID  
(C1, C2, CU, L1, L2, or L3). CLN or DG are the first characters on the cleaning or  
diagnostic label.
