Note
To accommodate IBM
3590 drives, you must
add an Extension frame
to a Control Module or a
Expansion Module to
increase module depth.
2-
The Scalar 1000 automates the storage, retrieval, and control
of 3590, LTO, DLT, SDLT, and AIT tape cartridges. Tape
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 2-4. 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), and 1 to 48 drives.
See Table 2-1.

Control Module (CM)
The CM is a single module, standalone Scalar 1000 library. It
contains an LCD Operator 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.
See Figure 2-1 on page 2-4.
The tape and drive bay capacity varies in the CM. Each drive
bay accommodates:
• One or two High Profile tape drives
• One to six Low Profile tape drives
• One to 12 Low Profile 8 mm (AIT) tape drives
Expansion Module (EM)
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 2-4.

2-6 System Description
Cartridge Accessor
The Cartridge Accessor identifies and moves cartridges
between the storage cells, tape drives, and the I/E Station. The
Cartridge Accessor has:
• A Gripper Assembly for getting and putting cartridges in
storage cells, tape drives or the I/E Station.
• A Barcode Scanner for reading the external barcode labels
on the cartridges. The Barcode Scanner is used during the
inventory process to locate and categorize all cartridges
installed in the library. It is also used during the teaching
process in which it reads the fiducial labels to identify the
types of storage arrays and tape drives installed in the
Library. (Fiducial labels are barcode labels located on tape
drives and storage arrays. Each label has a different value
to identify the various types of storage arrays or tape
drives that may be installed in the Library. Refer to the
Scalar 1000 Operator Guide for a list of all fiducial labels.)
6-01150-01 Rev A
• An X-Axis drive for moving the Cartridge Accessor 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
The Scalar 1000 automates the retrieval, storage, and control
of 3590, DLT, SDLT, LTO, and AIT cartridges.
Note
Duplicate
barcode labels
(even with
different media
identifiers) are
NOT supported.
Two characters are used to identify the cartridge type. For
SDLT and LTO cartridges, the media identifier is embedded at
the end of the barcode label. Any code 39 labels are supported.
Refer to the Scalar 1000 Operator Guide for more information on
label types supported by the Scalar 1000.
Insert/Eject Station
The I/E Station allows for the insertion and ejection of
cartridges without interrupting the normal operation of the
library.
The I/E Station uses two different cartridge magazines. One
magazine has a capacity of six half-inch cartridges (3590/
DLT/SDLT/LTO), the other magazine has a capacity of nine
8 mm (AIT) cartridges. A maximum of two magazines of any
type can be present in the I/E Station at any time. If you have
two different magazines in an I/E Station, such as one halfinch and one 8 mm magazine, the library requires Scalar DLC.
For more information on Scalar DLC, refer to Scalar DLC
Option on page 2-11 or contact an ADIC representative.
The coordinate for the rows in the old style I/E Station is
always contiguous (1 to 12 for half-inch and 1 to 18 for 8 mm).
Since two magazines of different cartridge types can be
present in the I/E station at any time, the first cell of the
bottom magazine of the new style I/E station always starts
with Row 10.

Internal Components 2-7
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 Storage Networking Controller
(SNC).
The SNC provides four parallel 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 2-2 on page 2-9.

Connectivity 2-9
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 and the SCSI type (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 2-3.

2-10 System Description
6-01150-01 Rev A
Scalar DLC Option
The Scalar 1000, through its optional Scalar Distributed
Library Control (Scalar DLC) interface, provides the
industry’s most advanced combination of management and
diagnostics.
The Scalar DLC software serves as a centralized library
management tool that simplifies and automates the tracking
and management of all system resources for optimal
performance and maximum availability.
The Scalar DLC attaches to the library SCSI bus. The host
continues to directly attach to the drives through a SCSI or a
Fibre Channel Interface.
For more information on Scalar DLC, including detailed
information on the supported interfaces, refer to ADIC Scalar
DLC documentation. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-12 for more
information.

Remote Management Unit
2-12 System Description
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
• Access the library status
• Make configuration changes
6-01150-01 Rev A
• 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. For
additional information, refer to the Scalar 1000 Operator Guide.

Physical Specifications
The physical specifications for the library modules are shown
in Table 4-5.
The floor must support point loads exerted by the leveling
pads of up to 86.42 lb./in
In addition to being dust-free, physically, chemica ll y, and
acoustically appropriate, the flooring must meet the
insulation resistance specifications. The insulation resistance
between the floor surface and earth ground must be 1x10
8
1x10
ohms to prevent system failure or electrical shock.
Sufficient resistance is achieved by using antistatic,
nonconducting floor tile with a resistance of 1x10
ohms. If necessary, provide an appropriate connection to the
metal portion of the ground plane.
The Scalar 1000 has four point loads on the CM and EM.
