Used to connect the power cord to the jukebox.

The ON position appplies power to the robotics and electronics in the jukebox. The STANDBY position removes power from the robotics and electronics of the jukebox but power remains ON inside the power supply enclosure on the rear of the jukebox.

To remove power completely from the jukebox, you must remove the power cable either from the rear input on the jukebox or at the wall/floor electrical outlet.

that allow connection to either a single-ended or low-voltage differential SCSI bus. A terminator must be plugged into one of these connectors when the jukebox is the last physical device on a SCSI bus. The terminator shipped with the jukebox is a single-ended / low-voltage differential terminator.

For the most flexible configuration, use a self-configuring single-ended / low-voltage differential terminator (SE/LVD) even though the jukebox is may be originally configured onto a low-voltage differential bus.

Chapter 1 1-5

Setting up the Jukebox

Removing the Mailslot Shipping Bracket and Checking Removal of the Shipping Screw

The jukebox is shipped with a plastic bracket inserted into the mailslot to prevent damage to the mailslot during shipping. A shipping screw is installed through the bottom of the chassis to restrain the cartridge picker.

To remove the mailslot bracket, do the following. Refer to Figure 1-2.

1. Grasp both sides of the bracket and at the same time hook your fingers underneath its lower edge.

2. Gently bend the bottom of the bracket out slightly and while jiggling the bracket, pull it out from the mailslot.

Setting up the Jukebox

Removing the Mailslot Shipping Bracket and Checking Removal of the

Shipping Screw

NOTE When shipped, a wire links the shipping screw to the packing material

on the bottom of the jukebox. The screw should have been removed when the bottom packing material was removed.

Check that the shipping screw was removed by doing the following:

3. Slide a finger under the chassis so that you can feel the area shown in Figure 1-3. The bottom of the the chassis should be flat. You should not feel the head of a finger screw.

CAUTION If you feel a large screwhead undeneath the chassis, gently lay the

jukebox on its side and remove the screw. The jukebox will not be harmed by laying it on its side.

After removing the screw, raise the jukebox up and onto its feet.

The jukebox weights approximately 75 pounds (34 kg). Use two people to lay the jukebox on its side.

Chapter 1 1-7

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting the SCSI Cable to the Jukebox

The jukebox can be connected to either a single-ended or low-voltage differential SCSI bus. The connectors are high-density 68-pin.

When connecting to a single-ended SCSI bus, and because the drives are “fast SCSI” you have a maximum of 9.8 feet (3 metres) for the entire bus. The jukebox uses 16 inches (0.4 metre) internally so 8.5 feet (2.6 metres) remain available for your use. This assumes that you do not have internal devices (disks, etc. connected to the bus. If you do, the maximum allowable external bus is reduced by the amount of internal bus used.

When connecting to a low-voltage differential SCSI bus, you have a maximum of 39.4 feet (12 metres) for the entire bus. As mentioned above, the jukebox uses 16 inches (0.4 metre) internally so 38 feet (11.6 metres) remain available for your use. This assumes that you do not have internal devices (disks, etc. connected to the bus. If you do, the maximum allowable external bus is reduced by the amount of internal bus used.

This jukebox can be connected to your host computer in two ways:

• as the only SCSI peripheral on a bus

• as one of multiple SCSI peripherals on a bus

1-8 Chapter 1

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox as the Only Peripheral

The default IDs for the jukebox are as follows. Check to see if there will be any conflicts in this installation.

Autochanger (jukebox robotics) = 3

Drive 1 = 4

Drive 2 = 5 (if installed)

NOTE If any of the autochanger/drive IDs are already being used, you can

either change IDs used by the host bus adapter or another device on the bus, or you can change the autochanger/drive IDs.

If you choose to change the IDs of devices other than the autochanger and/or drives, do it now (before you begin cabling). Refer to your host and host bus adapter documentation.

Setting Up the Jukebox

If you will be changing the IDs of the autochanger or the drives, you will be given an opportunity to do this in the installation steps that follow.

1. Ensure that the mailslot shipping bracket and the shipping screw are removed.

NOTE If you will be changing SCSI IDs in the host, finish changing them before

doing the next step. See the previous NOTE.

2. Ensure that your host computer is OFF and the jukebox standby/on switch is in the STANDBY position.

The jukebox standby/on switch is in STANDBY when the STANDBY side of the switch is depressed. The switch is shown by “2” on Figure 1-1.

Chapter 1 1-9

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox as the Only Peripheral

Figure 1-4 Connecting the Jukebox as the Only Peripheral

3. Connect a SCSI cable between one of the SCSI ports on the jukebox with a SCSI port on your host computer (see “3” on Figure 1-1).

4. Plug a terminator into the unused SCSI port on the jukebox.

Because this configuration makes the jukebox the last peripheral on the SCSI bus, the bus must be terminated on the jukebox.

NOTE The jukebox ships with a self-configuring single-ended / low-voltage

differential terminator.

5. Go to “Connecting Power, Adjusting IDs, and Turning the Jukebox On” on page 1-14.

1-10 Chapter 1

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox with Other SCSI Peripherals

Connecting this jukebox with other peripherals on the bus is shown in Figure 1-5.

IMPORTANT Other devices on the same bus as this jukebox will affect jukebox

performance. Consider the following issues if you are deciding whether to connect other devices onto the same bus.

• How will the jukebox be used: archiving, backup, near-line storage? What performance must be maintained?

• How will the additional peripheral will be used? How much demand will the additional peripheral place on the bus?

Setting Up the Jukebox

• What is the bus length available?

A basic review of SCSI and a discussion of the issues involved with connecting devices on a bus is in Appendix B.

CAUTION Do not connect a high-voltage differential device onto the same bus as

this jukebox. Damage to the high-voltage differential device interface electronics can occur.

IMPORTANT Do not add a a single-ended device onto the bus if you intend the bus to

be a low-voltage differential bus. The bus will switch to single-ended mode if any single-ended devices are detected.

If you mix single-ended and low-voltage differential devices (causing single-ended operation) on total cabling longer than 9.8 feet (3 metres), SCSI bus problems could occur. This jukebox will operate in single-ended mode, but must be on a bus that is 9.8 feet (3 metres) or less.

Chapter 1 1- 11

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox with Other SCSI Peripherals

IMPORTANT Although this jukebox connects to a 68-pin SE/LVD “wide” SCSI bus and

host adapter, the jukebox and its optical drives use a 50-pin “narrow” SCSI bus internally. See Appendix B for a discussion of SCSI buses.

Do not force “wide” data transfers.

Figure 1-5 Connecting the Jukebox With Other SCSI Peripherals

The default IDs for the jukebox are as follows. Check to see if there will be any conflicts in this installation. If you are installing another of this model jukebox on the same bus you have conflicts.

Autochanger (jukebox robotics) = 3

Drive 1 = 4

Drive 2 = 5 (if installed)

1-12 Chapter 1

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox with Other SCSI Peripherals

NOTE If you determine that there are conflicts among SCSI IDs that are

currently in use by your system and peripherals you will be placing on the bus, plan to do the following steps, as they apply to your situation.

• If you choose to change IDs used by internal devices, change the IDs at this time (before you turn the host system OFF).

• If you choose to change the IDs of external peripherals (other than this jukebox) you may want to change those IDs at this time.

• If you choose to change the IDs in this jukebox (or an additional jukebox of this model), you can do this during the next set of steps “Connecting Power, Adjusting IDs, and Turning the Jukebox On”. Remember, if you are installing two libraries of this type, they will have the same default IDs (3, 4, and 5).

Setting Up the Jukebox

1. Ensure that the mailslot shipping bracket and the shipping screw are removed.

NOTE If you will be changing SCSI IDs in the host, finish changing them before

doing the next step. See the previous NOTE.

2. Ensure that your host computer is OFF and the jukebox standby/on switch is in the STANDBY position.

The jukebox standby switch is in STANDBY when the STANDBY side of the switch is depressed. The switch is shown by “2” on Figure 1-1.

3. Connect SCSI cables between the host, the jukebox, and the other peripheral (perhaps another jukebox) as shown in Figure 1-5.

4. Depending on your bus type, put a single-ended, low-voltage, or SE/LVD terminator on the SCSI connector of the last peripheral on the bus.

CAUTION Do not use a high-voltage differential terminator.

5. Go to the next steps, “Connecting Power, Adjusting IDs, and Turning the Jukebox On”.

Chapter 1 1-13

Setting up the Jukebox

Connecting Power, Adjusting IDs, and Turning the Jukebox On

NOTE If you are changing SCSI IDs on the host bus adapter to avoid conflicts,

change the IDs before turning host power OFF.

If you are changing IDs on one (or two) of this jukebox to avoid conflicts, the following steps include this option.

1. Ensure that your host computer is OFF and the jukebox standby/on switch is in the STANDBY position.

2. Plug the socket end of the power cord into the power port on the rear of the jukebox (see “1” on Figure 1-1). Use the power cord supplied with the jukebox.

3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

CAUTION Placing the standby/on switch to STANDBY does not remove all power

from the jukebox. To remove all power (including primary power) you must pull the jukebox power plug from the wall/floor receptacle.

4. Press the jukebox standby/on switch to ON.

NOTE If you are connecting two libraries, place both libraries to ON.

The remaining steps apply to both libraries.

5. Initially, jukebox. Once the poweron test completes (approximately 1.5 minutes),

NOTE If FAIL 1 displays, the poweron test was not successful. Feel under the

chassis at the location shown in Figure 1-3 to ensure that the shipping screw was removed. If the shipping screw was removed, refer to “Troubleshooting” in Chapter 3.
