The P2000 is an automated storage and retrieval library that may
consist of up to 8 tape drives and 198 cartridges or 10 tape drives
and either 100 or 192 cartridges.
Tape drive choices include the Quantum DLT 8000 (HVD and
LVD), IBM LTO Ultrium T200 (LVD only), or the Quantum SDLT
(HVD and LVD). Throughput capabilties for these drives are 6
MB/sec, 20 MB/sec, and 16 MB/sec, respectively.

The P2000 Series library comprises three models that support a
wide range of storage and performance requirements (see table 1
table 2
, and table 3). Model numbers are created by combining the
number of drives and the number of storage bins in the library.
Model 8/198 - 8 tape drives and 198 tape cartidge bins

Element Numbering Convention
The library stores tape cartridges in the following locations:
100 storage bins on the back wall
•
1
Up to 92 storage bins on inside of the front door
•
One load port
•
• 8 bins - two stationary LTO load port shelf bin modules (4
bin shelves each) are built into the load port assembly
12 bins - DL T an d SDL T tape c artridges use two remo veable
•
6-cartridge magazines
• If the library is configured with both DLT and LTO tape
drives, stationary LTO load port shelf bin modules are used
Up to 10 tape drives
•
Figure 1
shows the storage bin, load port bin, and tape drive
numbering conventions. These conventions are used by the library
touch screen graphical user interface (touch screen GUI) and the
diagnostic software program.

Features and Benefits
Features and Benefits
The P2000 library provides the following features and benefits:
High-capacity, high-performance data storage and retrieval
•
• The library may house up to 198 tape cartridges in
configurations with up to 8 tape drives in only 7.25 square
feet of floor space, or...
• The library may house up to 192 tape cartridges in
configurations with 9 or 10 tape drives
Expandable library configurations
•
• Up to five P2000 and/or P3000 libraries can be joined
together into one virtual library, which enables tape
cartridge sharing between libraries using ATL’s Pass
Through Mechanism (PTM)
Note:
1
When using a Pass Through Mechanism on the
right side of the P2000 library, 8 tape drives and up
to 192 tape cartidges may be used. When using a
PTM on the left side, tape cartridge capacity is
reduced to 168 while up to 10 tape drives may be
used. Finally, when PTMs are used on both sides,
tape cartridge capacity is 168 and 8 tape drive s may
be used.
Access to future expandability and technology upgrades
•

Chapter 1 Library Description
Library Components
The vertical and horizontal actuators move the mixed media
gripper into position to pick and place tape cartridges. The rotary
actuator rotates the mixed media gri pper 180
mixed media gripper to pass cartridges between the front storage
bins and the back storage bins or tape drives. The extension
actuator extends the mixed media gripper forward to make contact
with the desired cartridge and then retracts the mixed media
gripper to remove the cartridge from a bin or drive.
The mixed media gripper includes a Clas s II l aser bar code s canner
that reads standard six-character, 3 of 9 bar code labels. The
scanner is used to maintain an inventory of the tape cartridges
within the library. An inventory occurs automatically whenever
the library is turned on or after the bulk load door has been closed.
An inventory can also be initiated from the host computer.
Although the library does not require tape cartridges to have bar
code labels, properly labeled tape cartridges and full storage bins
speed up the inventory process.

Chapter 1 Library Description
Library Component s
Note:
* Compressed capacity assumes a 2:1 compression ratio.
When fewer than 10 tape drives are installed, the tape drives must
occupy consecutive drive bays, beginning with drive bay 0.
The drives used in the P2000 library are more reliable than
standard drives due to the automated environment.
The P2000 can be populated simultaneously with DLT, SDLT, or
LTO tape drives .
If a DLT drive experiences read/write errors when the AutoClean
function is enabled, the library issues an error messa ge stating that
drive cleaning is required. Without user intervention, the
IntelliGrip CHM replaces the data cartridge with a cleaning
cartridge. When the cleaning procedure finishes, the CHM returns
the data cartridge to the drive.
Note:
When a DLT cleaning cartridge has completed its 20-use
limit, it is automatically exported from the library,
requiring a new one to be loaded through the load port.
Load Port and Magazines
The load port is a mechanical device in the front panel of the
1
library that enables you to import or export tape cartridges to and
from the library via two tape cartridge magazines without
interrupting library operations.
The DL T/SDLT load port uses two removeable 6-bin t ape cartridge
magazines (see figure 8
).
The LTO load port uses two stationary 4-bin tape cartridge
magazines (see figure 9
ATL P2000 Series Automated Tape Library User’s Guide 15
).

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Taking ESD Precautions
Caution:
Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or
bang them, or place them near sources of
electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can
displace the tape leader, making the cartridge
unusable and potentially hazardous to the tape
drives.
Components within the P2000 library contain static -sensitive parts.
2
To prevent damage to these parts while performing installation,
maintenance, or replacement procedures, observe the following
precautions:
Keep the library turned off during all installation,
•
maintenance, and replacement procedures.
Note:
Hosts without a direct SCSI interface r equir e external
communications bus converters.
Keep the library power cord connected to a grounded power
•
outlet except when working with AC electrical components.
Warning:
Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI
filter, and all other AC electrical components
while the library is connected to a power outlet.
Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching i nternal library
•
components. To use the wrist strap properly, place the band
around your wrist and attach the clip to the library frame. Keep
the strap on until you are ready to close the library doors.
Keep static-sensitive parts in their shipping containers until
•
ready for installation.
Do not place static-sensitive parts on any metal surface. If you
•
need to put down a static-sensitive part, place it inside its
protective shipping bag or on a grounded antistatic mat.
18 ATL P2000 Series Automated Tape Library User’s Guid e
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
• A v oid dir e ct contact with st atic-se nsitive parts . Avoid touching
connectors and discrete components.
• Close library door and access panel when not working on the
library.
• Be very careful when insta lling the library or handling
components in dry climates or environments where cold
weather heating is used. Environments such as these with
lower relative humidity have greater potential to produce static
electricity.
DLT/SDLT Cartridges
Figure 10 Inserting a
Bar Code Label (DLT/
SDLT))
Note:
In environments with high potential for static
electricity, you may want to take additional
precautions such as the use of an antistatic smock or
a grounded antistatic mat.
The following shows you how to label DLT/SDLT tape cartridges,
2
as well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.
Labeling
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library
to identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory
time.
Place the label in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge (see
figure 10
).

Caution:
LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to
the fact that it uses “magnetic servos". Do not
attempt to degauss LTO tape drive media. If this
media is degaussed, it will no longer work.
Place a tape cartridge in each fixed storage bin on the back wall of
the library and on the inside of the front door. Be sure all cartridges

are properly oriented with the barcode facing you and that they
are fully seated in the bins.

the library robotics, the host computer, the library tape drives,
internal and external hard disk drives, and so on.
If you set up the library with multiple SCSI buses, you can assign
the same number to two or more devices, provided each device is
on a different SCSI bus.
Note:
Power must be cycled for the new SCSI ID number to
