Upgrading Drive Capacity
Upgrading Drive Capacity
Remember to:
❏ Ensure you are installing the same drive type on each level of the
library. Each level should only contain DLT or Ultrium drives.
❏ If you have a Fibre Channel library and are adding Ultrium drives
to your library, check that the high performance Fibre Channel
card is installed on the same level as the Ultrium drive to ensure
appropriate throughput (see Table 3-7 on page 3-14 and Table 3-8
on page 3-15 for more information on these cards).
This procedure includes information for adding DLT and/or Ultrium
drives to your existing library.
Upgrading the Library
Upgrading Firmware
If you are adding Ultrium drives to your existing DLT library, you need
to download firmware first before adding the new drive module. Older
versions of firmware may not be compatible with Ultrium components.
See “Upgrading Firmware” on page 3-2 for the procedure.
Installing a Drive Module
NOTE Yu may need to power cycle the host to use the new drive. Refer to the
backup software or operating system documentation for more
information.
1. Select the drive location, and remove the vacant drive slot cover by
removing the two 6-32 T-15 screws with a Torx screwdriver.
WARNING Do not insert your hand or foreign objects through the empty
drive bay and into the vertical lift assembly area.

Upgrading Drive Capacity
2. Hold the drive module with one hand on the drive module handle,
while the other hand supports the bottom (Figure 1-1).
3. Install the drive by inserting the rail at the top of the drive module
into the slot at the top of the drive module opening in the library.
Figure 1-1 Installing a Drive Module
4. Tighten the top and bottom thumbscrews, securing the drive module
to the library.
Chapter 11-6
Upgrading the Library
Upgrading Drive Capacity
5. Connect the external cables and terminator to the drive.
• For SCSI configurations: Daisy-chain the library controller to
the first (left) drive. Connect each subsequent drive to the host
interface card so that it each drive is on its own bus. Terminate
the library controller and the right drive. (See Figure 1-2 on page
1-8 for an example.)
• For Fibre configurations: See Figure 1-3 on page 1-9 for an
example of how to cable a Fibre Channel library and page A-4 for
front panel configuration information.
6. Add the upgrade serial number label to the pull-out tab on the back of
the library. Apply this label to the tape library to ensure proper

Configuring the New Drive
NOTE You may need to use the host backup software to recognize the new drive
when bringing it online. If the software or operating system does not have
the capability to automatically detect the new drive, you may need to
reboot.
Bring the new drive module online using the front panel display.
1. Enter the
2. Specify which drive module has been added, and press
3. Select
Administration then the Online Drive Repair menus.
[OK].
[Put drive online].
4. If you have increased the number of drives since the last power cycle,
you must power cycle the library for it to recognize the additional
drives.
The library will automatically run a self-test to check the inventory
when the drive has been brought online. When the drive is
successfully brought online, the new drive will adopt the SCSI ID of
the current drive position. The LED on the back of the drive will be
green. See Table 3-6 on page 3-13 for more information on drive
LEDs.
NOTE If you have two or more of the same drive type with different firmware
revisions, the library will go into a partial availability state due to a
firmware mismatch. When this occurs, the front panel will display
Available
, and the LED bar beneath the front panel display will be solid
Partly
amber. Download new drive firmware to ensure all the drives are using
the same firmware revision. If you are still getting the
Partly Available
message, consult your user guide or service manual for potential causes.

Adding Fibre Channel or Remote Management Cards
Adding Fibre Channel or Remote
Management Cards
Remember to:
❏ Use high-performance Fibre Channel cards on any level of the
library that contains Ultrium drives. See Table 3-7 on page 3-14
and Table 3-8 on page 3-15 for an illustration of the highperformance and standard-performance Fibre Channel cards.
CAUTION This library contains very sensitive electrical components. It is important
to follow the proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing and
replacing cards and major assemblies.
Upgrading the Library
Failure to follow proper procedures could lead to intermittent failures or
premature hard failures.
CAUTION The Fibre Channel printed circuit boards contains a laser system that is
classified as a “Class-I Laser Product” under a U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance standard according
to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 and EN608251(+A11) safety of laser products.

Adding Fibre Channel or Remote Management Cards
NOTE Before powering the library off to remove a card from the library, review
the LEDs on the back of each card to ensure there is no activity. See
Figure 1-4 and “Back Panel LEDs” on page 3-8.

Adding Fibre Channel or Remote Management Cards
To add a card to the library:
1. Power off the library.
2. Select the appropriate location for the card, and remove the vacant
slot cover. See Figure 1-4 on page 1-12.
3. Align the top and bottom edges of the card you are adding with the
card slot.
4. Gently push the card into the library until the card is flush with the
library.
5. Tighten the thumbscrews (finger tight).
6. Connect external cable(s).
7. Add the upgrade serial number label to the pull-out tab on the back of
the library. Apply this label to the tape library to ensure proper
identification of any upgrades you do.
Upgrading the Library
8. Power on the library.
NOTE If the new card has a different version of firmware than the library, the
library could go into a partial availability state due to a firmware
mismatch. In this state, the front panel will display
Partly Available, and
the LED bar beneath the front panel display will be solid amber. If this
occurs, then download the most recent library firmware (See “Upgrading
Firmware” on page 3-2.)
9. If installing Fibre Channel or remote management cards, configure
the new card from the library front panel. See Appendix A,
Configuring the Library for more information.

Upgrading to a Redundant Power Supply
Upgrading to a Redundant Power Supply
Remember to:
❏ If you are adding redundant power to your library, you need to use
redundant power supplies on all library levels. All power supplies
must either be redundant or standard. Mixed power supplies are
not supported.
1. Disconnect all power cords from the library.
2. Remove the power supply that is shipped with the library by
loosening the two thumbscrews screws and pulling the module
straight out (see Figure 1-5 on page 1-15).
3. Install the redundant power supply module by aligning the bottom of
the module with the bottom of the power supply bay (see Figure 1-5
on page 1-15).
4. Fully insert the power supply module into the back of the power
supply bay.
5. Tighten the two 6-32 x .25 T15 screws to secure the module to the
library.
6. Reconnect the power cords to the bottom of the power supplies.
7. Ensure the individual power supply units are fully installed inside
the power supply module. The LEDs on each supply will be solid
green when the supply is online. See Table 3-9 on page 3-16 for more
information on the power supply LEDs.

Overview
Overview
NOTE For the purpose of this documentation, we will use the term Model 12/140
to indicate all library models that are five levels and higher. These models
include: 4/100, 6/100, 6/120, and 6/140, 8/140, 10/140, and 12/140.
Most library parts that are used in Model 12/140 are the same as Models
2/20, 4/40, and 6/60. The procedures for replacing these common parts
are documented in this chapter with exceptions noted where applicable
Some parts are unique to Model 12/140. These differences are because of
the library’s increased size and the custom cabinet. Table 2-1 provides an
overview of common parts and unique parts.
