CAUTION Make sure that all peripheral devices connected to the host computer have been

properly shut down. If the host computer is connected to a network, check with the
system administrator before switching off power.

Removing the Customer Access Panel

1. Switch off power to the host computer before you connect the jukebox

NOTE The jukebox ships from the factory with two screws securing the bottom of the

customer access panel to the side of the jukebox. These screws are removed during
the process of unpacking and removing the jukebox from the shipping pallet.

Chapter 1: Setting

up the Disk Drive

Setting Up the

Jukebox

These screws may not have been replaced.

It is a good idea to use the screws to secure the access panel to the jukebox since
they must be in place if the jukebox is ever reshipped.

If you have to replace these screws, they are 6/32 x .437.

2. Remove the customer access panel by pulling on the bottom of the panel and
then lifting it off (see Figure 1-1). (If screws are installed, use a flatblade
screwdriver or T-15 Torx driver.)

Chapter 1 1-9

Setting Up the Jukebox

Connecting a 4- or 6-Drive Jukebox

Refer to the following diagram in the next steps.

3. Select single-ended (“A”) or differential (“B”) interface using the SCSI
interface selection switch (see the arrow on the diagram ).

The diagram shows connecting a cable to the differential (“B”) interface.

4. Connect a cable between your host computer and either port of the jukebox
SCSI connectors of your selected interface type (the example diagram shows
using the “B2” port on the differential interface).

Route the cable through the slot at the bottom of the right side (“C”).

5. Plug a SCSI terminator into the unused SCSI port of interface type you chose
(the example diagram shows the terminator at “B1” because “B2” was used for
the cable ).

If you are using the differential interface, use a 68-pin high-density terminator. If
you are using the single-ended interface, use a 50-pin high-density active
terminator.

Figure 1-2 Connecting a 4- or 6-Drive Jukebox

6. Plug a SCSI terminator into one of the SCSI ports on the unused interface.
Only one terminator is necessary on an unused interface.

The example diagram shows the terminator on the single-ended interface
connector “A2” but the terminator could have been placed on “A1”.

Use an active terminator if you are terminating a single-ended interface.

1-10 Chapter 1

Setting Up the Jukebox

Connecting a 4- or 6-Drive Jukebox

If you are terminating a differential interface, use a 68-pin high-density
terminator. If you are terminating a single-ended interface, use a 50-pin
high-density active terminator.

CAUTION Make sure that all peripheral devices connected to the host computer have been

properly shut down. If the host computer is connected to a network, check with the
system administrator before switching off power.

Removing the Customer Access Panel

1. Switch off power to the host computer before you connect the jukebox.

NOTE The jukebox ships from the factory with two screws securing the bottom of the

customer access panel to the side of the jukebox. These screws are removed during
the process of unpacking and removing the jukebox from the shipping pallet.

These screws may not have been replaced.

It is a good idea to use the screws to secure the access panel to the jukebox since
they must be in place if the jukebox is ever reshipped.

If you have to replace these screws, they are 6/32 x .437.

Refer to the following diagram in the next steps.

2. Select single-ended (“A”) or differential (“B”) interface using the SCSI
interface selection switch (see the arrow on the diagram ).

The diagram shows connecting a cable to the differential (“B”) interface.

3. Connect cables between the two host adapters on your host computer and two
SCSI interfaces on the interface module.

You can connect the two cables to two interfaces of the same type of different
types (single-ended or differential). If you use two different types of interface,
check that your jukebox application software supports this.

The diagram shows cable connections to the differential SCSI interface on both
interface cards at “B2.” One cable is connected to Bus 1 and the other cable is
connected to Bus 2.

Route the cables through the slot at the bottom of the right side (C).

5. Plug a SCSI terminator into the unused SCSI connector of interface type you
chose (the example diagram shows terminators for the two differential interfaces
placed on the “B1” port for each interface ).

If you are using the differential interface, use a 68-pin high-density terminator. If
you are using the single-ended interface, use a 50-pin high-density terminator.

6. Plug a SCSI terminator into one of SCSI ports on each unused interface (the
example diagram shows the terminators on the single-ended port at “A2” for
both interfaces). The terminators can be placed on either port of the unused
interface.

Use a 50-pin high-density terminator for the single-ended interface or a 68-pin
terminator for the differential interface.

7. To continue with the installation, go to “Connecting Power” in this Chapter.

3. Select single-ended (“A”) or differential (“B”) interface using the SCSI
interface selection switch (see the arrow on the diagram ).

The diagram shows connecting the host computer cable to a differential interface
port (“B3”). This connection is on the rear interface card so it is Bus 2.

Route the cable through the slot at the bottom of the right side.

4.

Connect a short cable between the interface card you have chosen to the
other Bus (the example diagram shows a cable (“B2”) between the
second Bus 2 port over to a differential port on Bus 1).

5.

Terminate the daisy-chained bus by plugging a terminator into the
unused port of the second interface (the diagram show the terminator in
port “B1”). In this example you would use a 68-pin differential
terminator in “B1.”

A differential interface port uses a 68-pin high-density terminator. A
single-ended interface port uses a 50-pin high-density terminator.

The same cabling can be done using the single-ended ports.

CAUTION Do not daisy-chain between single-ended and differential interfaces.

6.

Plug a SCSI terminator into one of SCSI ports on each unused interface
(the example diagram shows the terminators on the single-ended port at
“A2” for both interfaces). The terminators can be placed on either port of
the unused interface.

Use a 50-pin high-density active terminator for the single-ended interface
or a 68-pin terminator for the differential interface.

Setting Up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox With Other SCSI Peripherals

Connecting the Jukebox With Other SCSI
Peripherals

NOTE Operating this jukebox with other peripherals on the same bus is supported, but not

recommended.

In most circumstances, the recommended configuration for this jukebox is as the
only device on a SCSI bus. However, your use of the jukebox may be such that other
devices could be connected to the bus without a loss of performance.

It is possible to connect this jukebox on a bus with additional peripherals in many
different ways (depending on your model):

• a 4- or 6-drive jukebox using basic SCSI addressing or Logical Unit Numbering
(LUN) addressing

• a 10-drive jukebox with one host adapter and with LUN addressing,
daisy-chaining Bus 1 and Bus 2 together or a 10-drive jukebox using two host
adapters, LUN addressing, and using both BUS 1 and Bus 2 interfaces

• a 10-drive jukebox with two host adapters and using LUN addressing

There are many issues that must be considered when connecting other devices on a
bus with this jukebox, including the following:

• how the jukebox is used; archiving, backup, near-line storage. What
performance must be maintained

• how the additional peripheral will be used. How much demand will it place on
the bus

• whether you will be mixing “wide” and “narrow” devices on the bus.

• whether you are using both internal and external segments on your SCSI host

adapter

• whether your bus is single-ended or differential

NOTE Appendix B provides a brief overview of SCSI and the issues you must consider

when placing other peripherals on the same bus with this jukebox.

Connecting Power

1. Ensure that the power switch on the jukebox is OFF (“5” on Figure 1-1)

NOTE Use the power cord shipped with the jukebox.

2. Route the power cord through the strain relief clip (“4” on Figure 1-1) and close
the clip snugly around the cord.

3. Plug the socket end of the power cord into the power port on bottom of the
power distribution assembly ( “9” on Figure 1-1).

4. Continue to route the power cable down, through the long cable slot at the
bottom of the jukebox right side panel, and out through the cable access hole at
the lower left rear of the jukebox (“7” on Figure 1-1).

6. Press the power switch ON (“8” on Figure 1-1)

When power is applied, TESTING and NOT READY alternately display. Once
the poweron test completes (approximately 1.5 minutes), READY displays.

NOTE If DEVICE FAILED displays. See “Troubleshooting” in Chapter 3 for

troubleshooting procedures.

7. Refer to Chapter 3, “Operating the Jukebox” for instructions on setting the SCSI
addresses, loading optical disks into the jukebox, setting a password, etc.

Chapter 1 1-17

Setting Up the Jukebox

Configuring Write Verify

Configuring Write Verify

The write verify configuration ensures that data is written reliably to an optical disk.
The jukebox ships with write verify enabled. Many software applications also
default to this method of writing.

Writing data on a magneto-optical disk requires two passes. The first pass erases the
data in the sector to which data will be written. The second pass writes new data to
that sector.

When write verify is configured to ON, an additional pass is made over the sector.
This third pass verifies that all data is written correctly to the sector. To add to the
reliability of your data, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you maintain the default
ON setting for write verify. Note that when write verify is ON, write operations take
more time.

If you choose to change the write verify configuration to OFF, refer to “Configuring
Operating Configurations” in Chapter 3.
