WARNING
Rack Stability
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment:
• Extend levelling jacks to the floor.
• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the levelling jacks.
• Install stabilizing feet on the rack.
• In multiple-rack installations, secure racks together.
• Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks may become unstable if more
than one component is extended.

Product Description
The ETERNUS LT20 S2 LTO library provides a compact, high-capacity, low-cost solution for simple, unattended data backup.
The ETERNUS LT20 S2 houses up to 8 tape cartridges in a compact 1U form factor with easy access to tape cartridges via two removable magazines and a mailslot for importing and exporting cartridges. The library can support one LTO3, LTO4, LTO5, or LTO6 half height tape drive.
Each magazine can hold up to four cartridges.
The library does not occupy an own signal interface but is controlled via a separate LUN of the tape drive.
The library can be operated via Operator Control Panel (OCP) or Remote Management Unit (RMU).
The ETERNUS LT20 S2 tape library is compatible with most operating systems and environments that support the SAS or Fibre Channel interface. However, the library requires either direct support from the operating system or a compatible backup application to take full advantage of its many features.
Figure 1.1 ETERNUS LT20 S2 front and rear view
Particular emphasis of the ETERNUS LT family includes:
• Platform of tape libraries
Independent of LTO technology
• Broad level of connectivity
- SAS
- Fibre Channel
• Technology upgrade
Customer can upgrade tape drive technologies (e. g. LTO4 to LTO5) in the field
• Service friendly design
Drive, power supply and library controller are accessible from the back of the unit allowing for quick replacement
• Best in class cartridge and drive density
Packing in as many or more cartridges in the standard rack height 1U as most other Libraries on the market
• Maximum up time
Through advanced error handling and recovery capability

2.2 Unpacking the LTO Library

2.2 Unpacking the LTO Library
Before you begin, clear a work surface to unpack the library. Select an open 1U rack location allowing easy access to the host server and an easily accessible power outlet.
If the temperature in the room where the library will be installed varies by 15 °C (30 °F) from the room where the library was stored, allow the library to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before unpacking it from the shipping container.
Unpacking the library:
1 Before opening and removing the library from the box, inspect the container for shipping
damage. If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping company immediately.
2 Open the box.
3 Remove the accessory package (if present) and set aside. Carefully remove the shipping
materials from the top of the library (see Figure 2.1
).
4 Remove the two rack rails (if included) and set aside.
5 Lift the library out of the carton and remove the bag from the library. Save the packaging
materials for future use.
Do not place the library on either end or sides as this may damage the library.
After unpacking the library, save all the original packing materials in case you need to ship or move the library later.

2.4 Remove the Shipping Lock

2.4 Remove the Shipping Lock
The shipping lock, which prevents the robot transport mechanism from moving during shipment, must be removed before the library is powered on.
A yellow label with instructions regarding the shipping lock covers the power button, as shown in the following picture:
The shipping lock is held in place with a label and is located in the top center of the library. After the shipping lock is removed, it should be stored on the rear panel right side (next to power connector) of the library for future use.
To remove and store the shipping lock:
1 Remove the yellow label that is securing the lock to the top of the library, and then remove
the lock (see Figure 2.2
Figure 2.2 Removing shipping lock and label
Figure 7: Removing shipping lock and label

2.5 Rack Mounting the Tape Library
Weight! Risk of personal injury or damage to the loader.
• Always remove all tapes to reduce the overall weight of the loader.
• Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.

2.5.1 Preparing

Before installing the library:
• Make sure that the host bus adapter card installed in the host computer, any necessary device drivers, and
your backup software are compatible with the library. Make certain that an any necessary drivers installed in the host computer are compatible with the tape drive in a library.
• You can install the software on the host computer before or after library installation. However, if you install
the software first, you may need to reconfigure it for use with the library after library installation is complete.
• The library must be operated in the horizontal position. Do not place the library on its side, and do not
place objects on top of the library.
Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure that the library power switch is in the off position and that the power cord is disconnected from the library and the outlet.

Procedure
Height unit no. 26
2.5 Rack Mounting the Tape Library
1 If you use a Fujitsu Technology Solutions PRIMECENTER rack you first have to mount the
support bracket in the appropriate height to the - seen from the front of the rack - left rear rack post as shown below.
Figure 2.5 Mounted support bracket
2 Mount a cage nut at the appropriate height to the right and left rack post each. Mount them
in the middle square hole of the height unit in which you mounted the support bracket. (The middle of a height unit is the hole between two wide and neighboring division bars.)

3 Place the right rail (support angle down) from the front into the rack, putting the
positioning tappet into the appropriate hole of the right rear rack post.
4 Compress the spring mounted rail to its length, putting the preloaded screw head in the
lower front lug of the rail from behind into the appropriate hole of the right front rack post as shown below. The rail now is positioned between the two rack posts by its spring pressure. Support the rail with one hand.

7 Mount the left rail in the same way:
• In PRIMECENTER racks, put the positioning tappet of the left rail into the appropriate hole of the
support bracket which you have mounted on the left rear rack post.
• Compress the spring mounted rail to its length, putting the preloaded screw head in the lower front
lug of the rail from behind into the appropriate hole of the left front rack post.
• Screw on the upper lug of the front rail end to the left front rack post with one screw with centering
washer.
• Screw on the rear rail end to support bracket with two screws with centering washers as shown
below.

The library weighs 14 kg (without media). Most of the weight is toward the back of the library.
8 Put the ETERNUS LT20 S2 from the front of the rack on the support angles of the sliding rails
and push it into the rack to the back stop.

2.6.1 Connection Recommendations and Additional Remarks

The effectively achievable data throughput of tape drives depends on a multiplicity of factors. These primarily are:
• Specified data throughput on the system bus (e.g. the PCI bus)
• Number of host bus adapters (controllers) on the system bus
• Origin of data to be stored (e.g. RAID system, single hard disk drives)
• Transmission type and speed of the data to be stored (e.g. Ethernet)
• Number of devices at the host bus adapter (controller)
• Sequential or parallel operation of the tape drives
• Compressed or uncompressed operation of the tape drives
2.6.1.1 Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel allows for an active intelligent interconnection scheme, called a Fabric, to connect devices. Everything between the ports on Fibre Channel is called the Fabric. The Fabric is most often a switch or series of switches that takes the responsibility for routing.
2.6.1.2 SAS
■ SAS features
• Serial data transfer to and from storage devices as disk and tape drives
• 4 SAS channels per SAS HBA port (typical, not mandatory) for a maximum of 4 storage devices per HBA
port
• Unique identifying of a SAS drive by its WWN (World Wide Name) or WWID (World Wide Identifier)
■ Host Bus Adapter
The HBA has to meet following requirements:
• External SAS connector
• Multiple LUN support (most SAS RAID controllers do not support multiple LUNs). Consult your sales
representative or a certified service engineer for compatibility of HBA, library and your server.
■ Cable
Fujitsu recommends a maximum SAS cable length of 4 meters from HBA to one tape drive. Do not use any adapter or converter between HBA and tape drive(s).
