GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Plasmon Infinity LF 6602 RapidChanger is a cabinet configuration, housing two LF 6600
RapidChanger drives side-by-side, as shown in the next figure.

LF 6602 Configuration

Each LF 6600 drive is a write once read many (WORM), high-capacity, optical disk drive with an integral
shuttle, capable of holding up to six LM 6000/LM 4000 media cartridges. The integral shuttle moves
laterally to position one of the media cartridges for automated loading and unloading into the optical drive.

The LF 6602 provides 24 GBytes of online storage and up to 144 GBytes of nearline storage. Each LF
6602 provides 12 GBytes of online storage and up to 72 GBytes of nearline storage. Each LM 6000 media
cartridge has a capacity of 12 GBytes.

A Drive Operator Console (DOC) located on the front panel of each drive provides user control of drive

operation and configuration as explained in the Operating Instruction section of this manual. Operating
messages are presented on the alphanumeric display in English, French or German. The language used is
selectable.

Each drive's front panel includes a lockable media access door to provide operator access to the shuttle
and media cartridges.

EP006028

97654438 E

Page 11

The Auxiliary Diagnostic Port (ADP), located on the rear panel of each drive, can be used to download
updates to the drive firmware in the field. Refer to the LD 6100/LF 6600/LF 6602 Product Specification
(P/N 97653977) for more information.

Each LF 6602 drive supports a sustained read transfer rate of 2.7 MBytes/sec with error correction and
defect management capabilities to maintain data integrity and manage media flaws. Each LF 6600
implements the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) via standard SCSI-2 micro-connectors located
on the rear panels. Single-ended and differential interface options are available, and the interface can be
changed in the field. Both the single-ended and differential controllers support asynchronous or
synchronous data transfer operations.

Preventive maintenance for the LF 6602 is minimal (refer to the Operator Maintenance section). Corrective
maintenance is simplified by internal diagnostic firmware which detects, isolates, and reports malfunctions
to the operator and identifies the faulty Field Replaceable Unit (FRU).

LM 6000 media is interchangeable between the LF 6602, LF 6600 and the LD 6100. The 6000 series of
drives will also read LM 4000 media written by the Plasmon LMS 4000 series of optical drive products
(except for media with serial numbers less than X0010000, where X designates an A or B).

AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

The primary AC power cord type will depend on the LF 6602 configuration ordered. The primary AC power
cord supplies power to the power socket strip located within the LF 6602 cabinet. Each LF 6602 is
connected to the power socket strip with a grounded AC power cord. The power connector of each
LF 6600 is integrated into the AC power receptacle. Over current protection is provided by two fuses,
which are also integrated into the receptacle with two spare fuses. Refer to the Replacing Fuses section
for the fuse replacement procedure.
Each drive's power supply accepts the input line voltages listed in Table 3. The power supply is
autoranging and does not require mechanical switching for input voltage or frequency selection.

AC GROUND

The LF 6602 chassis must be connected to earth ground for operator safety. The AC power cord has a
grounding conductor which connects the LF 6602 chassis to safety ground through the site AC power
system. If the site AC system ties its ground wire connection to earth ground, then the LF 6602 chassis will
also be tied to earth ground. All site AC power connections must be maintained on the same safety
ground.

A line grounding connector located on the rear panel of each LF 6600 can also be used to tie the drive
chassis to earth ground. These ground connectors are 6-mm (0.24-in.) M4 with a nut and lock washer.

AC POWER CORD

The type of AC power cord supplied with the LF 6602 will depend upon the configuration ordered.

POWER SUPPLY OUT-OF-RANGE PROTECTION FEATURES

Each LF 6600 power supply provides over and under voltage protection, over current protection, power
failure detection and over temperature protection. Should an out-of-range condition occur, each LF 6600
detects it and shuts down the DC outputs of the power supply.

NOTE

After the situation is corrected, power can be restored by turning the
AC power switch to the off position, waiting 1 sec and then turning the
power switch to the on position again.

TILT RANGE

The LF 6602 is not designed for use when tilted from the vertical position.

HEAT DISSIPATION

The LF 6602 cabinet will typically represent a heat load of 292 kg-calories/hr (1160 BTU/hr) during a read/
write operation. When media cartridges are inserted, loaded, spun up, spun down, unloaded and removed
at each drive's maximum rate, the LF 6602 will typically represent a heat load of 364 kg-calories/hr (1450
BTU/hr).

PARTICULATE LIMITS

The LF 6602 is designed for use in an office or computer room. The environment must have a low dust
level. Each drive filters incoming air for cooling to reduce the quantity of particles entering the drive;
however, the filters are not effective against small particles (including tobacco smoke). These particles will
become deposited on optical components and media, causing a degradation in drive performance. Refer
to the Operator Maintenance section for media cleaning and air filter cleaning instructions.
