Step 2. If a SCSI jumper cable is installed across connectors 2 and 3 on the

library back panel, remove it at this time. Note: With the SCSI jumper cable removed, the library is configured

as two SCSI buses. The library and drive 1 are on the first bus (ports 1 and 2) and drive 2 is on the second bus (ports 3 and

4).

Step 3. Install a terminator on connector 2 and connector 4. Step 4. Align the external SCSI cable for system unit 1 with connector 1 on

the library back panel. Step 5. Push in to seat the cable and tighten the thumbscrews (finger tight). Step 6. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to system unit 1. Step 7. Align the external SCSI cable for system unit 2 with connector 3 on

the library back panel. Step 8. Push in to seat the cable and tighten the thumbscrews (finger tight). Step 9. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to system unit 2. Step 10. Go to “Step 12. Connecting the Power Cables” on page 20.

The advantages of this configuration include:

One 8mm Tape Library with two drives can be shared with two host systems. Two jobs can be run simultaneously from two host systems.

Chapter 2. 8mm Tape Library Installation 19

The disadvantage to this configuration is the reduced capacity. Only 10 tape cartridges are available for use per host.

Step 12. Connecting the Power Cables

Perform the following steps: Step 1. Plug the library power cable into the back of the library and into a

grounded power outlet. (This may or may not power on the library depending upon the state of the power switch.)

Step 2. If the library power-on indicator lights and the display shows the

message, Power On Selftest in Progress, press the control panel power switch ( ) to turn the library power Off.

Step 3. Install any library covers that are not installed.

Note: Use care when installing the rear cover after the SCSI cables

have been attached to the 8mm Tape Library.

Step 13. 8mm Tape Library Checkout Procedure

Note: The 8mm Tape Library includes internal diagnostics that can help identify

faults within the device. These diagnostics, called Power-On Self Tests (POSTs), are run each time the 8mm Tape Library power is switched on.

This procedure should be followed the first time the library is powered on and any other time library operation is suspect. Performing this procedure ensures that all selftests are performed by the library and that the library initializes to a known state.

Step 1. Ensure the library door is closed. (Required for initialization.) Step 2. Ensure library is supplied with termination power from a SCSI host

adapter. If termination power is not provided the 8mm Tape Library will post a 01E5 (drive presence) error.

Step 3. Open the control panel access cover and press power switch ( ) to turn

the library power On.

message, Power On Selftest in Progress, go to step 6 on page 21

Step 5. If the library control panel does not display information, call the 8mm

Tape Library service representative.

Step 6. Wait for Power-On Self Test (POST) to complete. The following definitions are applicable to the library Power-On Self Test (POST):

A single 1 second beep Indicates the library Power-On Self Test (POST)

completed successfully.

Recoverable error Causes the library to beep once when the error is

encountered and to display the message, Power On Selftest Warning and other information to further identify the cause of the error. The library resumes operation after 3 seconds.

Irrecoverable error The library Power-On Self Test (POST) stops and the

control panel display shows failure information to identify the cause of the error. The library may also beep and blink (power-on indicator) one of four sequences to indicate a specific error. These errors are defined in the

7331 and 3449 8mm Tape Library Model 3xx Service Guide.

Step 7. At the start of POST, the power-on indicator lights and the display shows

the message in Figure 18:

Power On Selftest in Progress.

Figure 18. Power On Selftest in Progress Display

Chapter 2. 8mm Tape Library Installation 21

Step 8. If an irrecoverable error is detected, the library beeps and the power-on

indicator blinks to indicate a specific error occurred. The control panel display shows the message in Figure 19:

Power On Selftest Failure and other information to further identify the cause of the error. The message is continuously displayed and the library ends further operation.

Figure 19. Power On Selftest Failure Display

Step 9. After checking for irrecoverable errors, POST checks for recoverable

errors. If a recoverable error is detected, the library beeps once and the display shows the message in Figure 20:

Power On Selftest Warning and other information to further identify the cause of the error. The message is displayed for 3 seconds before the library resumes operation.

Figure 20. Power On Selftest Warning Display

22 7331 and 3449 Installation Guide

Step 10. At the end of POST, the library beeps for 1 second. The control panel

display shows the message in Figure 21:

Power On Selftest Complete, 3 seconds before the library resumes operation.

Figure 21. Power On Selftest Complete Display

Step 11. If any of the following exist, call the 8mm Tape Library service

representative.

The control panel display is blank. The power-on indicator continuously beeps and blinks an error code. The power-on indicator does not light. The library does not beep.

Step 12. After POST is complete, wait for the library initialization to complete.

During the initialization operation The control panel display shows the message in Figure 22:

INITIALIZING. With the library door locked, the picker and accessor are initialized to a known state to permit safe movement.

Figure 22. Initializing Display

Step 13. Upon successful completion of initialization, the library returns to the

mode of operation it was in before the library was powered off. Step 14. Make sure the library covers are installed. Step 15. If additional language support is required, refer to the 7331 and 3449

8mm Tape Library Model 3xx Operator Guide, GA32-0376, for
