Library Installation

Overview

To install the library:

1. Choose a location.

2. Prepare library components.

3. Install the host SCSI card(s).

4. Mount the library in a rack (rack mount configuration only).

5. Set the SCSI interface mode switch.

6. Con n ect th e libr ary to the host.

7. Con n ect power.

8. Con f igu r e th e hos t . This chapter also explains how to move or ship the library.

NOTE Installation must be performed by HP qualified personnel.

2-2

Step 1: Choose a Location

Choose a location that meets the following criteria. Take the library there before unpacking it.

Table 2-1 Location Criteria

Library Installation

Step 1: Choose a Location

Room temperature

Power source AC power voltage: 100-127 V or 200-240 V Air quality Minimal sources of particulate contamination. Avoid

Adequate clearance

50-104° F (10-40° C)

areas near frequently-used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect dust, and smoke-filled rooms.

CAUTION: Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape drives.

Standalone configuration — free stand in g o r against a wall/desk:

Back 56 cm (22 in.) for cooling and service. Front 86 cm (34 in.) for operator access. Sides56 cm (22 in.) for removal of the external cover.

Rack mount configuration: Back Allow adequate room to open the rear

door of the rack for service access, usually 46-61 cm (18-24 in.), depending on the rack.

Library Installatio n

Front 86 cm (34 in.) for operator access. Height For ease of use, the bottom of the lib rary

should be 60-120 cm (24-4 8 in.) above th e floor .

Library Installation

Step 2: Prepare Components

Make sure all required components are available.

Table 2-2 Components Required for Installation and Use

Component Installation Notes

Library Do not unpack the library until it is in the

proper location.

SCSI card(s) Required number of cards installed in host depends on

library configuration. Connect drives and robotics controller t o differential fast/wid e SCSI cards.

SCSI cables Required number of cables (68-pin) is one per drive and

one for the robotics controller. Maximum cable length

(total) is 25 meters. Power cord P ower c ord is included wit h library. Rack mount kit Rack mount kit is included with rack mount libraries. Data cartridge One HP DLTtape IV data cartridge is incl u de d with

library. Cleaning
