Mixed media gripper assembly
Vertical carriage assembly
Horizontal drive motor
Extension axis assembly
Horizontal drive motor
Mixed media gripper assembly
Vertical carriage assembly
Extension access assembly
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 gripper 180°, allowing the 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.
26 Quantum P4000 and P7000 Libraries User’s Guide
Chapter 1 Library Description
Library Components
The mixed media gripper includes a Class II laser bar code scanner that reads standard six-character (7 characters for SDLT and 8 characters for LTO), 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.

Tape Drives 1 The P4000 can hold up to 10 tape drives and the P7000 can hold up to 16

tape drives, including combinations of DLT and SDLT, or DLT and LTO.

Chapter 1 Library Description Library Components
When fewer than 8 drives are installed in a P4000 or fewer than 16 tape drives are installed in a P7000, the tape drives must occupy consecutive drive bays, beginning with drive bay 0.
The drives used in both the P4000 and P7000 are more reliable than standard drives due to the automated environment.
Both the P4000 and P7000 can be populated simultaneously with DLT, SDLT, or LTO tape drives.
If a drive experiences read/write errors when the AutoClean function is enabled, the library issues an error message 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 1

The load port is a mechanical device in the front panel of the 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 DLT/SDLT load port uses two removable 6-bin tape cartridge magazines (see figure 15
).
The LTO load port uses two stationary 4-bin tape cartridge magazines (see figure 16
).

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations Installing Tape Cartridges

Installing Tape Cartridges 2

To install tape cartridges
1 Label each cartridge. 2 Set the write-protect switch. 3 Place cartridges in the fixed bins.
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.

Taking ESD Precautions 2

Components within the P4000 or P7000 contain static-sensitive parts. 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, Fibre Channel, or Gigabit
Ethernet interface require 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 internal 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.
32 Quantum P4000 and P7000 Libraries User’s Guide
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
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.
Avoid direct contact with static-sensitive parts. Avoid touching connectors and discrete components.
Close library door and access panel when not working on the library.
Be very careful when installing 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.
Note: In environments with high potential for static electricity,
take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic smock or a grounded antistatic mat.

DLT/SDLT Cartridges 2

The following shows you how to label DLT/SDLT tape cartridges, as well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.
Labeling 2
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 17
Quantum P4000 and P7000 Libraries User’s Guide 33
).

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations

Inserting Tape Cartridges into the Load Port

After loading or unloading the magazines, rotate the load port back 180o and push the load port handle to lock the load port into position.
Note: The mixed media load port used with LTO tape cartridges has
two stationary 4-cartridge magazines built into the load port, unlike the two removable 6-cartridge magazines used with DLT and SDLT tape cartridges. If the library contains both DLT and LTO tape drives, the stationary magazines are used in the load port.

Removing/ Installing a Tape Cartridge Magazine 2

Loading a Tape Cartridge Magazine 2

To remove a DLT/SDLT magazine from the load port, press up on the metal tab at the upper right corner of the load port bay. Rotate the magazine handle from the top of the magazine toward you and pull the magazine from the loadport. Reverse this procedure to install a magazine (see figure 15
The magazine used with DLT/SDLT tape cartridges have keyed bins to prevent improper cartridge insertions. They are equipped with spring­loaded mechanisms to capture or release a tape cartridge.
To insert a tape cartridge, push it into the magazine’s bin until you here a click and the metal tab at the left side of the bin pops out.
To remove a tape cartridge, gently push the cartridge all the way into the bin, then release. The cartridge will be partially ejected, making it easy to remove.

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations Inserting Tape Cartridges into the Load Port

Inserting DLT and SDLT Tape Cartridges 2

DLT/SDLT tape cartridges are inserted into two removable 6-cartridge magazines as shown in figure 15
on page 29. Tape cartridges may be loaded to or unloaded from a magazine with the magazine in or out of the library.
To insert a DLT tape cartridge into a magazine:
Note: To move cartridges to the load port for removal, refer to
Moving Cartridges
on page 68.
1 Prepare the tape cartridges to be inserted by affixing a bar code label
and write-protecting or write-enabling each cartridge as desired. For more information about these procedures, refer to Installing Tape
Cartridges on page 32.
2 With the load port door open, place the tape cartridges in any
available load magazine slot (see figure 32
).
3 If the magazine is out of the load port, load the tape cartridges into
the magazine, then load the magazine into the load port. The proper orientation for tape cartridge insertion is shown in DLT/
SDLT Cartridges on page 33 and LTO Cartridges on page 35.

Inserting LTO Tape Cartridges 2

5 Manually close the load port door by pushing the load port assembly
so that it is flush with the front surface of the library. You will hear a “click” when it locks into position.
If Auto Load is enabled, the library automatically moves the cartridges to available bins.
The two load port magazines used when LTO tape drives are present in the library are stationary and built into the load port. They accommodate up to 8 LTO or DLT tape cartridges. The magazines employ no loading mechanism (unlike the DLT removable magazines) .
To insert an LTO cartridge:
1 Simply place the LTO tape cartridge into the bins with the barcodes
facing out and the write-protect switch on the left (see figure 32
Quantum P4000 and P7000 Libraries User’s Guide 57
