Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive Models T200 and T200F are high-performance,
high-capacity data-storage devices that can be integrated into an enclosure, such
as a desktop unit, tape cartridge autoloader, or tape library. The tape drives are
designed to perform unattended backups, as well as retrieve and archive files.
Table 1 outlines the features of the Models T200 and T200F. Figure 1 is a front view
of the drive with and without a bezel.

The Ultrium Internal Tape Drive uses a data compression algorithm known as
LTO-DC (LTO Data Compression). A key difference between LTO-DC and previous
compression algorithms is that record boundaries and file marks are encoded as
control symbols in LTO-DC. LTO-DC detects them, but it will not recompress and
|
|
|
test them. Another difference is that LTO-DC allows switching between compression
and no compression within the data stream. This feature prevents the data from
expanding when the drive compresses random or encrypted data.
IBM offers device drivers for the Ultrium Tape Drive. Device drivers enable the drive

applications that use other device drivers, see the application’s documentation to
determine which drivers to use.
In addition to using IBM tape cartridges with up to 100 GB capacity, the Ultrium
Tape Drive also offers read/write capability for certified LTO Ultrium tape cartridges
that have capacities of 50 GB, 30 GB, and 10 GB.
The Ultrium Tape Drive records by using a linear, serpentine recording method on
1/2-inch, magnetic tape.

Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface
|
|
The Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200 contains one SCSI port for attachment to the
server. The SCSI connections and terminations are contained in the single J1
connector. The J1 connector contains the connections for the SCSI signals and
grounds, the setting of the SCSI ID, the setting of the SCSI bus termination control,
and the connection for the drive power and ground.

To order a cable, see “Appendix A. Tools and Supplies” on page 81.
Address Assignments
For enhanced functions in automated library systems, the SCSI drive contains an
|
2IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive
RS-422 interface. If the drive is connected to a library, its SCSI address can be set
through the RS-422 interface.
Another option to setting the SCSI address is by attaching jumpers to the SCSI ID
connector (see “Step 4. Set the SCSI ID (SCSI Drive Only)” on page 14).
Installing, Removing, or Resetting a Drive on an Active SCSI Bus
|
|
Attaching a drive to an active SCSI bus is supported. However, the preferred and
safest method of adding, removing, or resetting a drive is to power-off the system.
|
When adding, removing, or resetting a drive on an active SCSI bus, perform the
following steps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Quiesce the drive. The drive to be added, removed, or reset must not be
involved in any bus activity.
2. Disconnect power to the drive.
3. Connect or disconnect the SCSI bus cables to or from the drive’s SCSI
connector. Ensure that the SCSI bus remains intact from the server (initiator) to
the terminator throughout the connection or disconnection process.
Note: Changing or moving the terminator disrupts the continuity of the SCSI
|
|
Fibre Channel Attachment
|
|
|
|
|
The Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200F has one Fibre Channel interface (also called a
port). In accordance with the standards of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), the port runs Fibre Channel Protocol (which includes SCSI commands on
the Fibre Channel) with ANSI-defined Fibre Channel Tape Support. You can attach
the Fibre Channel port to the following servers and SAN components. For additional
information about the Fibre Channel connectivity, visit the web at
http://www.ibm.com/storage/storagesmart/lto. To obtain information about
adapters and operating systems, visit the web at http://www.storage.ibm.com/lto.
bus and interrupts any process on the bus.
Attention:A Class I laser assembly, in the optical transceiver, is
mounted on the Ultrium Fibre Channel electronics card. This laser
assembly is registered with the Department of Health and Human
Services and is in compliance with IEC825.

Physical Characteristics of the Fibre Channel Interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200F attaches to Open Systems servers by using
short-wave, multimode fiber optic cables. All cables feature SC-duplex connectors
and are designated as 50/125 (50 refers to the diameter of the optical fiber and 125
refers to the diameter of the cable; both are measured in micrometers). All cables
are for field or plant installation, and are available in the following lengths:
v 0.5 m (1.6 ft)
v 13 m (43 ft)
v 25 m (82 ft)
v 61 m (200 ft)
v Custom-length fiber cable
|
|
|
|
You can order fiber cables for specific lengths (other than lengths with feature
codes) by using part number 54G3391. The maximum length is 500 m (1640 ft).
Cable length is measured from the drive’s Fibre Channel port. To order a cable, see
“Appendix A. Tools and Supplies” on page 81.
Supported Topologies
The drive supports Two-node Arbitrated Loop and Two-node Switched Fabric Loop
topologies.
Two-node Arbitrated Loop
The drive supports the arbitrated loop topology, but only two nodes are supported
on a loop.
Two-node Switched Fabric Loop
Two or more Fibre Channel end points interconnect through a switch. These
switches must have loop-attachment capability. Two nodes are supported on each
fabric loop.
Address Assignments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each device on a Fibre Channel loop must have a Loop Identifier (LID) and a
corresponding Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA) to communicate with other
devices in the topology. The AL_PA identifies the device on the loop. (LIDs and their
corresponding AL_PAs are listed in Table 3 on page 17 and Table 4 on page 18.)
You can set an AL_PA by using one of two methods known as soft addressing or
hard addressing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive
Soft addressing allows the drive to dynamically arbitrate the AL_PA with other Fibre
Channel devices on the loop. Hard addressing allows you to choose the LID, which
determines the corresponding AL_PA. The higher the AL_PA, the lower the priority
of the device.
Generally, servers (initiators) require that devices use hard addressing; they do not
support soft addressing. When setting addresses, assign the lowest AL_PA (and
thus the highest priority) to the server; assign the highest AL_PA (and thus the
lowest priority) to the drive.
To set soft or hard addressing, you must place jumpers on designated pins in the
drive’s LID/status connector (see (2 in Figure 3 on page 11). The pin configuration
for soft and hard addressing is defined in “Step 6. Set the Arbitrated Loop Physical
Address (Fibre Channel Drive Only)” on page 15.
World Wide Names
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each Ultrium Tape Drive has an 8-byte World Wide Name that is assigned by IBM
Manufacturing. The World Wide Name identifies physical drive ports. An enclosure
queries the World Wide Name through the RS-422 interface; a server queries the
Name through the Fibre Channel interface. The Ultrium Tape Drive reports the
World Wide Name to switches. You can use the World Wide Name to uniquely
identify the drive on a SAN.
Installing, Removing, or Resetting a Drive on an Active Fibre Channel
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Fibre Channel network supports dynamic drive attachment. When adding,
removing, or resetting a drive on an active server or SAN, perform the following
steps:
1. Quiesce the drive. The drive to be added, removed, or reset must not be
involved in activity.
2. Connect or disconnect the Fibre Channel cables to or from the drive.

Attention:
To avoid static electricity damage when you handle the Ultrium Internal Tape
Drive, use the following precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build around
you.
v Always handle the Ultrium Tape Drive carefully. Handle adapters by the
edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
v Prevent others from touching the Ultrium Tape Drive.
v Before you unpack and install the Ultrium Tape Drive into an enclosure,
touch its static-protective packaging to an unpainted metal surface on the
enclosure for at least 2 seconds. This reduces static electricity in the
packaging and your body.
v When possible, remove the Ultrium Tape Drive from its static-protective
packaging and install it directly into an enclosure without setting it down.
When this is not possible, place the tape drive’s packaging on a smooth,
level surface and place the tape drive on the packaging.
v Do not place the Ultrium Tape Drive on the cover of the enclosure or on any
other metal surface.
The steps that follow describe how to install the Ultrium Tape Drive.
Note: Depending on the type of enclosure, installation procedures may vary. Before
starting this installation, read these instructions and compare them to the
drive installation instructions for your enclosure.
When installing the Ultrium Tape Drive into an enclosure, refer to “Rear View of the
SCSI Drive” on page 10 or “Rear View of the Fibre Channel Drive” on page 11.

Step 1. Unpack the Drive
Unpack the Ultrium Tape Drive and store the packaging. You may need the
packaging if you return the unit for service.
Step 2. Power-off the Enclosure (Optional)
It is recommended (but not required) that you power-off the enclosure when you
install or remove the tape drive.
Step 3. Install the Cooling Fan Assembly (Optional)
The Ultrium Tape Drive’s circuits require cooling. The drive is designed to move air
|
|
|
across the circuits, with air entry at the lower front of the drive (the tape path and
drive head are protected from airflow and associated debris).
If the cooling fan is not attached and the temperature inside your enclosure does
not meet requirements, install the IBM cooling fan assembly (see the temperature
requirements in Table 2 on page 7). The procedure for installing the fan varies,
depending on whether your drive uses a SCSI or Fibre Channel interface. The
sections that follow describe each procedure.
Chapter 3. Installing11
Installing the Cooling Fan onto a SCSI Drive
To install the optional cooling fan assembly onto an Ultrium Tape Drive that uses a
SCSI interface:
1. Remove and discard the two cover screws from the rear of the Ultrium Tape

Step 4. Set the SCSI ID (SCSI Drive Only)
Notes:
1. When setting the SCSI ID, use the 2-mm jumpers that come attached to the
Ultrium Tape Drive’s SCSI ID connector (four jumpers are shipped on the
connector; an additional jumper is unattached, but included in the ship group).
To order additional jumpers, contact your IBM marketing representative.
|
|
|
|
|
2. If your enclosure uses a SCSI ID switch (rather than jumpers), do not perform
the following procedure. Instead, remove the jumpers from the Ultrium Tape
Drive and connect the switch (for instructions, refer to your enclosure’s
documentation).
3. If you are installing the Ultrium Tape Drive into a tape library, make sure that the
drive’s SCSI ID is set at 15 (see settings below). The library may issue a
command to the tape drive to set the SCSI ID via the RS-422 interface.
To set the SCSI ID:
1. Locate the SCSI ID connector (see 2 in Figure 2 on page 10).
2. Before attaching the SCSI bus cable to the server, decide the number of the
SCSI ID that you want. Make sure that the ID is not being used by another
device.
3. Referring to the following figure, find the ID number that you chose, then place
jumpers on the connector pins as shown (use a pair of needle-nose pliers to
connect the jumpers to the pins that are shaded).
14IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive
Step 5. Terminate the Drive and Supply TERMPOWER (SCSI Drive
Only)
If the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI bus, you must terminate the bus
|
outside the enclosure or internally at the SCSI ID connector (see 2 in Figure 2 on
page 10).
To terminate the bus internally, locate one of the five jumpers shipped with the
Ultrium Tape Drive and place it on the SCSI ID connector as shown in the following
figure. Place the jumper on the pins that are shaded.
To supply TERMPOWER to the bus, locate one of the five jumpers shipped with the
Ultrium Tape Drive and place it on the SCSI ID connector as shown in the following
figure. Place the jumper on the pins that are shaded.

Step 6. Set the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (Fibre Channel Drive
Only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each device on a Fibre Channel loop must have an Arbitrated Loop Physical
Address (AL_PA) to communicate. The AL_PA identifies the device on the loop. To
set the Ultrium Tape Drive’s AL_PA, you must place jumpers on specific pins in the
drive’s loop identifier (LID)/status connector. The placement of the jumpers indicates
whether you want to choose the LID yourself (each LID corresponds to a specific
AL_PA) or whether you want the drive to choose the AL_PA by arbitrating it with
other devices on the loop. Valid LIDs and their corresponding AL_PAs are provided
in this section.
Note: A Loop ID is part of a contiguous range of values; valid AL_PA values are
not in a contiguous range.
In addition to establishing the AL_PA, by moving Feature Switch 3 on the drive to
ON or off, you can set the drive so that it provides one of the following functions:
v Status about the Fibre Channel loop (through the use of external indicators in an
enclosure)
v Additional LIDs
The sections that follow describe how to select the AL_PA. They also describe how
to set Feature Switch 3 so that the drive gives status about the loop or provides
additional LIDs.
Chapter 3. Installing15
Setting the Loop ID to Provide Status About the Loop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If Feature Switch 3 on the Ultrium Tape Drive is set to off (see 1 in Figure 6), the
LID/status connector 2 has the following definition:
v Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 are inputs and are used to set the LID.
v Pins 5 and 6 are used as outputs:
– Pin 5 has three states: off (ground), on (3.3 V), and alternating (between off
and on). If the drive does not detect light on the Fibre Channel connector or
has not completed the Loop Initialization Protocol (LIP), pin 5 will be off. If the
drive detects light and successfully completes the LIP process, the pin will be
on. After the drive has completed the LIP process, the pin will be alternating
when the drive is receiving SCSI commands, and the pin will be on when the
drive is not receiving SCSI commands.
– Pin 6 indicates that the drive detects light. If pin 6 is on but pin 5 is off, this
could indicate communication problems across the fiber cable.
– If the drive is installed in an enclosure, pins 5 and 6 may be used to support
external indicators, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), on the enclosure.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: If indicators are used on an enclosure, the drive does not report error
codes 8 and F (Fibre Channel problems) to the single-character
display. Instead, pins 5 and 6 signal to the indicators that there is a
problem.
v Pin 9 is ground.

By using hard addressing, you can specify one of 62 valid AL_PAs for the drive.
If you jumper all of the pins, the drive gets the AL_PA from a field in its vital
product data (VPD). (An enclosure can set the AL_PA in the VPD through the
RS-422 interface.) If you do not jumper any pins, the drive uses soft addressing
to determine the AL_PA.

definitions of the jumpers on the connector pins. Feature Switch 3 must be set to off.

If Feature Switch 3 on the Ultrium Tape Drive is set to ON (see 1 in Figure 6 on
page 16), the LID/status connector 2 has the following definition:
v Pins 1 through 7 are used to set the LID.
v Pin 8 overrides pins 1 through 7. If pin 8 is jumpered, the drive will use its vital
product data (VPD) to set the AL_PA. The enclosure can set the AL_PA in VPD
through the RS-422 interface.
v Pin 9 is ground.

Note: Feature Switch 3 does not support LEDs on an enclosure. Therefore, when
Feature Switch 3 is set to ON, the drive can report Fibre Channel problems
(error codes 8 and F) on the single-character display, but not by using the
enclosure’s external indicators.
To set the AL_PA:
1. Determine an unused AL_PA address for the drive and refer to Table 4 for its
corresponding LID.
2. Locate the LID/status connector on the drive (see 2 in Figure 6 on page 16).
3. Jumper pins 1 through 8 as shown in Table 4.

Step 7. Mount the Tape Drive into an Enclosure
Notes:
1. In the following procedure, you may find it easier to connect the cables to the
|
back of the tape drive (as described on pages 21 through 22) before you secure
it to the enclosure.
2. The Ultrium Tape Drive may be shipped with or without a front bezel (see
Figure 1 on page 1).
To mount the Ultrium Tape Drive into an enclosure:
1. Place the drive into the enclosure so that its tape load compartment faces the
tape load compartment of the enclosure.
2. Insert two 6-32 screws into the mounting holes on the side brackets of the
chassis (see 2 in Figure 7).

Attention:When inserted into the Ultrium Tape Drive, the length of the mounting
screws must not exceed 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) from the outside of the chassis. If the
length exceeds this measurement, the tape drive may become damaged.
