This chapter covers the layout and basic functionality of the library,
including:
•
Overview
• Library Components
• Standard Features
• Licensable Features
Overview
The Scalar i40 and i80 tape libraries automate the retrieval, storage, and
management of tape cartridges. Tape cartridges are stored in the library
and mounted and dismounted from tape drives using firmware running
on the library or software running on the host systems.
See Appendix
A, Specifications for library capacity and a list of tape
drives and media supported by the Scal
ar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries.

Robotic System and
Barcode Scanner
The robotic system identifies and moves the cartridges between the
storage slots, tape drives, and the I/E station. The robotic arm (picker)
has picker fingers that enable it to grab tape cartridges and move them
into and out of slots and tape drives.
A barcode scanner is attached to the library’s robotic hand
. This barcode
scanner automatically identifies the slots and cartridges in the library, if
the cartridges are fitted with acceptable barcode labels.
Each tape cartridge must contain a unique, matching-readable barcode
that the ba
rcode scanner reads during the inventory process. During the
inventory process, the barcode scanner reads the barcode labels on the
tape cartridges and empty slots to identify the types of tape cartridges
that are installed in the library.
Tape cartridges cannot have duplicate barcode labels. This bar
code
identifies the cartridge. The library stores the physical location of the
tape cartridge in an inventory database. All library or host requests
typically reference the location of the tape cartridges based on this
Four navigation/selection
buttons
These buttons, in combination with the operator
panel display
, are used to scroll through screens and
select options or commands. The functionality of
these buttons changes depending on the currently
displayed operator panel screen.
Ticket indicator LED
Indicates whether a diagnostic ticket exists on the
library
. See
Front Panel LEDs on page 251 and About
Diagnostic Tickets on page 244 for more informa-
tion.
Power-on LED Indicates whether library power is on or off. See
Front Panel LEDs on page 251 for more information.

Turning off the library using the power button turns
off th

Magazines Magazines are removable and contain storage and import/export
station slots for cartridges. Each magazine has 20 slots, arranged in four
columns of five slots each. The Scalar i40 contains two magazines; the
Scalar i80 contains four. The right magazines provide up to five slots
each for use as an import/export (I/E) station. For more information on I/
E stations, see

the other installed magazines.

Magazine Slot Location Coordinates
Each slot in the installed magazine is numbered with location
coordinates. The library location coordinate contains three digits as
follows: [Magazine],[Column],[Slot]. Figure
2 and Figure 3 show the
magazines and list all of the location coordinates.
• Ma
gazine — Library magazine level is represented by the first digit
of a library coordinate. In a Scalar i40, there is only one level of
magazine. The coordinate is always zero. In a Scalar i80 library, the
bottom magazines are indicated by a zero; the top magazines are
indicated by the number 1.
• Column — A storage column
is a group of slots arranged vertically
in the library. Columns are represented by the second digit of a
library coordinate. Columns are identified relative to the front left of
the library. The column in the front left of the library is number 1.
The column numbering continues around the library in a clockwise
direction. The I/E station column is always number 8.
