1Introduction
This chapter describes the SuperLoader components and
functionality.
General Description 1
Data backup is essential to protect irreplaceable information.
Backing up data to magnetic tape is an easy, cost-efficient method
used by many small and medium sized businesses. However, most
enterprises have so much data that a single backup tape is not
enough; the information has to be spread across numerous tapes.
To avoid constantly changing tapes manually, many tape backup
systems include a SuperLoader.
A SuperLoader is a robot that includes a tape drive and one or
more magazines of tape cartridges. The user’s application can
automatically load and unload tape cartridges as required for data
backup or data retrieval. SuperLoaders provide compact, high
capacity, but low cost method for simple, unattended data backup.
SuperLoader Automated Tape Library User Manual 1
Introduction
Front View
The SuperLoader contains either the DLT1, SDLT 220, SDLT 320,
or LTO tape drive, and one or two magazines containing up to
eight cartridges each. A single cartridge can be inserted directly via
a password-protected mailslot. The cartridge inserts directly into
the tape drive, provided there is no tape already in the drive; or
you can load the cartridge to a magazine slot provided that slot is
not already occupied.
The front panel on the SuperLoader includes an LCD display and
four function keys. A scrolling menu on the LCD display allows
you to obtain information from the SuperLoader and enter
commands. The front panel also includes two LEDs indicating the
SuperLoader’s ready status and error status.
The SuperLoader connects to your host server via a SCSI
connection allowing the host to send data and commands
automatically. You can also connect to the SuperLoader using an
Ethernet connection to perform administrative functions and
download system updates.
Front View 1
The mailslot, LCD, function keys, status LEDs, power switch, and
left and right magazines are visible on the front panel of the
SuperLoader.

The SuperLoader has a manual entry port, the mailslot, which you
can use to load or unload a single cartridge. To maintain security,
the mailslot can be password protected. You can insert a cartridge
in the mailslot even if both magazines are completely filled, so
long as the tape drive itself is empty. You can also pass a tape
cartridge from the mailslot to the magazine if the drive is full but
the magazine is not.

Note: You should run an inventory from the host application
after using the mailslot. The mailslot is not available

Introduction
Front View
Power Switch 1
Magazines 1
The power switch is a soft key, which means that if the
SuperLoader is moving any cartridges when you press the power
switch, it finishes moving them before powering off. Any other
functions, such as writing to a tape or performing a diagnostic, are
interrupted and terminated when you press the power switch.
However, the SuperLoader attempts to write cached data to tape
before the unit powers down.
The SuperLoader is equipped with one or two cartridge
magazines. The magazines are removable and each magazine
accommodates up to eight cartridges. If your SuperLoader
contains only one magazine, a magazine blank is installed in the
other magazine bay. The handles on magazines and magazine
blanks are removable and allow you to configure any magazine or
magazine blank to fit in either the left or the right magazine bay.
The magazines store the data tape cartridges and can also store the
cleaning cartridge. The magazines also contain the part of the
robotics that moves the cartridges inside the SuperLoader.

The SuperLoader has a system cooling fan, plus a second fan to
cool the power supply. These fans maintain the acceptable
temperature range for the tape drive path and all internal
electronics. See Appendix B
on page 185 for details about required
specifications.
The SuperLoader requires a nominal voltage in the range of 110
volts AC to 220 volts AC to operate.
Ethernet Connection
The SuperLoader’s Ethernet connection allows you to connect the
1
SuperLoader to a network, enabling remote administration. The
SuperLoader can also connect to an SNMP server and a time
server.
The Ethernet connection supports HyperText Transfer Protocol
(http). You can download system updates and perform
administrative tasks, including diagnostics, using http, such as
with a Web browser.
