General Information
This chapter describes the library storage module (LSM) for an automated
cartridge system (ACS). An ACS is a removable media, robotic system that
mounts cartridges into storage cells, tape drives, cartridge access port (CAP), or
cartridge exchange mechanism (CEM).
Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 and Figure 1-2 on page 1-3 show the location of the major
components for the LSM.
■ Library Storage Module Components
The LSM has four major components:
• A robot
• A cartridge access port (CAP) that holds up to 14 cartridges
• Storage cells for 326 or 494 cartridges
•An optional cartridge exchange mechanism (CEM)
Attached to the rear of the LSM is either:
• A cartridge drive that houses 9490 or SD-3 controller transport units
• A 9741 or 9741E Drive Cabinet that houses DLT and/or T9840 drives
• An expanded 9741 Drive Cabinet with T9940 drives
1
Supported tape drives for this LSM include:
• 9490 or SD-3 cartridge transport units (CTUs)
•DLT drives
• T9840 or T9940 tape drives
• A combination of DLT and T9840 or T9940 tape drives

Figure 1-2 on page 1-3 shows the robot components. The robot is a mechanism that
moves cartridges between storage cells, CTUs, tape drives, CAP, or CEM. The robot
consists of the Z column assembly, hand, and camera assembly.
The Z column assembly contains a Z column, theta motor, and Z carriage. The
Z column attaches to the floor and ceiling of the LSM. The theta motor rotates
the Z carriage to allow access to all of the cells in the LSM.
The hand consists of a reach mechanism and gripper assembly that mount and
dismount the cartridge tapes. The hand attaches to the Z carriage which moves
the hand vertically along the Z column.

The camera assembly on the hand reads the cartridge volume serial numbers
(VOLSERs) during audits, but is not used to locate cartridges during robotic
moves. An audit occurs when:
• You power-on the LSM.
• You open and close an LSM door.
• You press the IPL (initial program load) button on the LSM.
• A host request is made at the customer console to audit the LSM.
The VOLSER information is stored on the library controller card. You must
request a host update to add the information to the host memory.
Note: The camera does not read the VOLSERs of cartridges in the CTUs or
tape drives. If you manually mount a cartridge, the host memory will
retain the VOLSER that was last automatically requested for that CTU or
tape drive.
95693 Revision P 1-3
Library Storage Module Components
Cartridge Access Port
The cartridge access port (CAP) is a storage area where you add cartridges to or remove
cartridges from an LSM. The CAP is located on the right front door.
LSMs are shipped with the type of CAP that allows you to place 14 cartridges, one at a
time, into the cells, or with a CAP that allows you to place a preloaded 10-cartridge
magazine into the CAP.
Note: The 10-cell cartridge magazine holds DLT cartridges.
Storage Cells
The LSM contains storage cells for 326 or 494 cartridges. The number of cells is
determined by whether the LSM has the standard left front door or the
expansion door.
Cartridges are stored in cell arrays that hold 6 or 14 cartridges. The cell arrays
are stacked in columns and the columns are arranged in a circle around the
robot assembly.
CAUTION:
Equipment problems: The cartridges must be inserted into the storage
cells with the customer label on top and the VOLSER facing the person
doing the inserting. If the cartridges are inserted into the cells upside
down, the LSM will stop during operation.
Cartridge Exchange Mechanism
The cartridge exchange mechanism (CEM) is an optional feature that allows a
robot to pass a cartridge from one LSM to another. For instance, when the host
software makes a mount request, and all the drives in the LSM are busy, with
this feature the robot can place the cartridge to the next LSM. The robot in that
LSM can then place the cartridge into one of its drives.
You can connect up to six LSMs together using the CEM. The LSMs are
numbered from left to right as you face the front of the LSMs. LSM0 is always at
the far left and all other LSMs are numbered consecutively and in ascending
order toward the right as you face them (to LSM5).
Note: The CEM does not support libraries using a SCSI interface.
1-4 Revision P 95693
■ Cartridge Drives and Cabinets
The cartridge drive attaches to the rear of the LSM and contains:
• Two or four 9490 (TimberLine) CTUs
• One to four SD-3 (RedWood) CTUs
The 9741 or 9741E drive cabinets attach to the rear of the LSM and contains:
• One to ten Digital Linear Tape (DLT) drives
• One to ten T9840 Tape Drives
• One to ten T9940 Tape Drives
Each CTU or tape drive holds the cartridge for read/write operations. For more
specific information, refer to your CTU or tape drive publications.
Notes:
• Only two of the three drive types that can be installed in a 9741 or
9741E Drive Cabinet are allowed to be mixed in the same cabinet.
• The T9940B drive cannot be installed in a 9740 LSM if the library uses a SCSI
control path.
Cartridge Drives and Cabinets
See Chapter 4, “Drives” for more information about these drives.
■ LSM Safety Features
Safety features are incorporated into the LSM. If the front doors to the LSM are
opened, electrical interlocks remove power from the robot assembly.
Behind the right front door, covers are placed over the library controller card
and the LSM power supply to prevent contact with the hazardous voltages and
sensitive electronics.
■ Controlling Software
Controlling software is the interface between the host operating system and the
LSM. The software determines where the cartridge is located by tracking the
VOLSER and cell location during audits, then allocates which CTU or drive
receives the cartridge.
If the LSM goes offline for any reason, you can mount and dismount cartridges
manually, as described in Chapter 3, “Operating the LSM.”

Controls and Indicators
This chapter shows and describes the power switch and operator panel for the
LSM. It also describes how to set the SCSI address as well as the maximum
usage count of the cleaning cartridges. Refer to the controller transport unit or
tape drive operator guides for information about operating those units.
■ Power Switch
The LSM power switch is a circuit breaker located in the lower right corner of the right
front door of the LSM. The switch provides power to the LSM only. Figure 2-1 shows
the LSM power switch location.

Power Switch
Tape Drives and Cabinets
Drives that are housed in the standard and expanded (9741 and 9741E) Drive
Cabinet each have their own power supply that attaches to a power strip at the
base of the cabinet. To power down drives in the 9741/9741E Drive Cabinet the
circuit breaker that provides power to the drives must be switched off. Do the
same to power off the LSM.
Controller Transport Units
The controller transport units also have their own power supplies, but they
have a power switch on they outside of the cartridge drive that the operator is
allowed to use. If you need to power down the LSM and drives, toggle down
the LSM power switch and push the cartridge drive power switch. Figure 2-2 on page 2-2
shows the power switch location for 9490 and SD-3 Cartridge Drives.

■ Operator Panel
The operator panel is mounted to the right front door of the LSM. The panel
contains function keys (also referred to as softkeys) and indicators, plus a twoline display. The operator panel displays LSM status, configuration, test
sequences, and error information.
Figure 2-3 on page 2-4 shows the panel and describes each item.
Use the operator panel to:
• Resolve machine problems
If an error occurs, a fault symptom code (FSC) is displayed. Forward this
code to your service representative to help resolve the problem. Write down
the FSC as soon as it appears to retain an accurate history of what
happened.
The display also instructs you to close the door or cartridge access port.
• Set the SCSI address.
Operator Panel
See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5 and Figure 2-5 on page 2-6 for this procedure.
• Set the maximum usage count of the cleaning cartridges.
See Figure 3-2 on page 3-6 for this procedure.
■ Setting the SCSI Address
You set the SCSI address from the operator panel. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5 and
Figure 2-5 on page 2-6 for the menu block diagrams that describe how to set the SCSI
address to 0 through 7 if you have the PRS card, or 0 through 15 if you have the PRW
card.
CAUTION:
Initialization errors: During this procedure, the panel displays Press
Execute to Enter Lib Size. This is not normally an operator
function. Altering the library size can cause initialization errors if the
size is set incorrectly to full size and the library only holds 326
cartridges instead of 494 cartridges. Press the MENU button and
continue through the choices as shown in the block diagram.
