General Description
Note
If the ADIC 8590/
IBM 3590 tape
drive is installed in
either the Control
or the Expansion
Module, the
modules must be of
the large footprint
type. Adding an
extension frame to
a normal frame
increases the depth
of the frame.
Table 2-1 Drives and Storage Capacities
The Scalar 1000 automates the storage, retrieval, and control
of 3590, LTO, DLT, SDLT, and AIT cartridge tapes. Cartridges
are mounted and dismounted in tape drives using application
software from the host without operator intervention.
The Scalar 1000 is a linear storage library that can be expanded
from a single media library to a mixed media library. The
Scalar 1000 consists of a Control Module (CM) and up to three
Expansion Modules (EMs). See Figure 2-1 on page 2-5. The
CM contains library control hardware, the Cartridge
Accessor, an Insert/Eject Station (I/E) Station, an Operator
Panel, cartridge storage cells, and tape drives. The EM can
contain tape drives and cartridge storage.
The Scalar 1000 can be configured for approximately
118 to 1182 cartridges (the cartridge capacity depends on the
library configuration and features installed). See Table 2-1.

Control Module
The CM is a single module, standalone Scalar 1000 library. It
contains an Operator LCD panel, AC and DC power supplies,
robot control electronics, and host interfaces. It can be
attached to an EM to create an expanded Scalar 1000 library.
The CM differs in tape and drive bay capacity. See Figure 2-1
on page 2-5.
Each drive bay has the space equivalent of 48 LTO, 40 SDLT,
44 3590, or 60 AIT cartridges. Each drive bay accommodates:
• One or two 3590 or High Profile DLT tape drives
• One to six DLT/SDLT or LTO tape drives
• From 1 to 12 AIT tape drives
Expansion Module
The EM extends the length of the aisle and adds drives and
cartridges to the library. The Scalar 1000 maximum
configuration includes three EMs. These modules extend the
X-rails (top and bottom) which allow the Accessor to travel
the length of the library. See Figure 2-1 on page 2-5.

Cartridge Accessor
The Cartridge Accessor identifies and moves cartridges
between the storage cells, tape drives, an d t h e In s e rt/Eject
Station. See Figure 2-3.
Top X-Rail Assembly
Gripper Assembly
Y-Axis Assembly
Figure 2-3 Cartridge Accessor
2-12 System Description
Bottom X-Rail Assembly
6-00054-02 Rev A
The Cartridge Accessor has:
• A gripper assembly for mounting a cartridge gripper and
a barcode scanner.
• A cartridge gripper picks and places cartridges in
storage cells, tape drives, or the Insert/Eject station.
• A barcode scanner reads the external labels on the
cartridges. The barcode scanner is used during the
inventory and teach processes.
• An X-Axis drive for moving the gripper assembly the
length of the rails in the CM and the EMs.
• A Y-Axis drive for moving the gripper assembly vertically
in the CM and the EMs.
Tape Cartridges
Each tape cartridge in the Scalar 1000 must have an external
label that is operator and machine readable to identify the
barcode number. The external label contains a minimum of
5 characters and a maximum of 16 characters for the barcode
depending on the operating modes.
The Scalar 1000 can operate in one of three modes:
• Default Mode - six characters (up to two additional
characters are ignored)
• Media ID mode - six characters, plus one or two media
identifiers, or for AIT, a checksum character (ignored).
• Extended Mode - 5 to 16 characters, may include media
identifiers and checksum values.
The barcode number is composed of uppercase A to Z
characters and numeric 0 to 9 characters. The Scalar 1000
currently supports Code 39 and Storage Technology-type
labels.
In Media ID mode, seven or eight characters are used to
identify the cartridge and type. The cartridge type is one or
two characters that are either separate from or included with
the barcode label.
For additional information, see Understanding Barcodes on
page 10.
22 June 2004
Internal Components 2-13
Insert/Eject Station
The Insert/Eject (I/E) Station allows insertion and ejection of
cartridges without interrupting the normal operation of the
library.
The I/E Station is designed to handle cartridge magazines.
Each magazine is capable of holding six ½-inch cartridges or
nine AIT cartridges. A maximum of two magazines of any
types can be present in the I/E Station. To locate the I/E
Station, see Figure 2-1 on page 2-5.
Connectivity
The Scalar 1000 offers several different connectivity options,
allowing the library to support a wide range of backup
topologies and applications. Flexible library connectivity
delivers active support for loop and switched fabric Fibre
Channel protocols, along with SCSI.
SAN Connectivity
The Scalar 1000 can be connected to a Fibre Channel Storage
Area Network (SAN) via the SNC.
For LTO-2 drives, each SNC 5100 controls up to three drives.
With 4 SNCs, you can connect 12 drives.
For other drives, each SNC 5100 controls up to four drives.
With 3 SNCs, you can connect 12 drives.
The SNC provides four SCSI bus connections, one ethernet,
and two Fibre Channel connections. The SNC allows native
SCSI devices (for example: robot controller and tape drives) to
be seen by any hosts that are attached to the SAN.
The library controller and the tape drives access the SAN via
the SNCs that can be installed in a Scalar 1000 CM or EM. See
Figure 2-4 on page 2-15.
2-14 System Description
6-00054-02 Rev A
Figure 2-4 Indirect Fibre Channel Attachment
22 June 2004
Connectivity 2-15
SCSI Connectivity
The Scalar 1000 can be directly connected to one or two SCSI
buses. Because each SCSI bus is independent, it can be Single
Ended, High Voltage Differential, or Low Voltage
Differential. Both ends of each bus must be terminated and a
terminator is shipped with each SCSI adapter card ordered.
The minimum configuration of a Scalar 1000 library requires
one SCSI adapter (Single Ended, High Voltage Differential, or
Low Voltage Differential).
Although the Scalar 1000 can be attached to a wide SCSI bus,
it is not a wide SCSI device and its SCSI ID must be in the
range of 0 to 7. See Figure 2-5.
2-16 System Description
Figure 2-5 Direct SCSI Attachment
6-00054-02 Rev A
Scalar DLC Option
The Scalar 1000, through an optional Scalar Distributed
Library Control (Scalar DLC), provides the industry’s most
advanced combination of management and diagnostics.
The Scalar DLC attaches to the library SCSI bus.
The host continues to directly attach to the drives via a SCSI
Interface.
See the ADIC Scalar DLC documentation for detailed
description of the interfaces supported. See Figure 2-6.

Scalar DLC Option 2-17
Remote Management Unit
The factory-installed Remote Management Unit (RMU) in
each system uses a standard web browser for remote library
access.
The supported browsers are:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 and above
• Netscape Navigator version 4.7 and above
With an RMU, you are able to do the following:
• Update RMU firmware
• Update library firmware
• Access the library status
• Make configuration changes
• Access the library Operator Panel
• Access Scalar 1000 documentation
• Retrieve library command and even t logs
The RMU supports Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) version 2.0 and acts as an SNMP-server. The RMU
acquires Tape Alert 3.0 compatible information from the
library over the serial interface port and sends that
information to a SNMP manager. The RMU also detects a
power loss and generates a SNMP trap for notification.
