4	Product Overview

Control Buttons

The labels for the four control buttons are displayed in the corners of the LCD. All buttons have “soft function” for different modes of operation, i.e. the functions of the buttons change during different activities. The actual function for each button is always visible on the display.

LED Indicators

The two LED indicators are green and amber. They indicate the StorageLibrary T40 activity as follows:

Green LED on: The StorageLibrary T40 is either running or ready for operation

Green LED blinking: Short blinks followed by long intervals indicate that the library is in low power standby mode

Amber LED on: Fault LED; the StorageLibrary T40 has encountered an electrical or mechanical failure

Standby Switch

A switch on the front panel provides a Library Standby. If the switch is pushed when the library is active, the library completes the current operation and then goes off-line and enters standby mode. See Standby Functionality for more details.

Rear Panel

The figure below shows the rear panel of the StorageLibrary T40.

Cooling Fans

Forced-air cooling fans are integrated in both the power CRU, the drive CRUs and behind the library control board. The fans draw air inward through holes in the front bezels and expel it out in the back. The fans start whenever the drive is operating or when the internal temperature in the StorageLibrary T40 gets too high.

Main Power Switch/ Fuse/Power Cord Connection

The main power switch is located at the rear of the library on the power supply bracket. The power switch, the fuse holder (with a 250V 2A fuse) and the AC power cord connection are combined in one common unit.

SCSI and Fiber Channel Interface Connectors

The library supports both SCSI and FC drives. The SCSI drive CRU has two shielded 68-pin HD SCSI connectors on the rear panel and the FC CRU has one FC connector. The connectors are used for connecting the tape drive and the StorageLibrary T40 to the host. These connectors can link to the following:

A shielded male HD68 SCSI cable

A shielded male HD68 SCSI terminator

FC port cable

Ethernet Port

This port is for the Remote Management system and allows you to connect the StorageLibrary T40 to a 10 BaseT compatible Ethernet network.

Battery Holder

The battery for the real time clock is located behind a plate at the rear of the library. A drive power extension cable is found in the same location.

Back Panel Cover plate

If a drive bay is empty a cover plate covers the opening to prevent dust from entering the library.

Library Features

This section describes several features of the StorageLibrary T40.

Operator Interfaces

The front panel is located on the front of the library and allows users to work locally on the library via the Operator interface. The remote management interface allows users to view and perform library functions from remote sites and is accessible through a browser. The front panel and remote management interfaces contain a similar Operator interface and functionality. For more information about the front panel and the web interface, see Information about the Operator Interfaces.

ADI Bridging and Logical Unit Numbering (LUN)

The StorageLibrary T40 implements ADI bridging with LUN addressing. This means that the library controller does not have its own host interface, but SCSI commands to the library controller are sent via one of the installed tape drives. The tape drive and the library controller will have a common SCSI ID but different LUN numbers. The SCSI commands to/from the library controller are sent via the tape drive’s ADI port.

The purpose of the LUN interface is to eliminate the requirement for a host interface on the library controller board.

6	Product Overview

Partitions

Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple Operators, or dedication to one or more host applications.

Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual sections. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are still available.

The StorageLibrary T40 can be divided into a maximum of four partitions. At least one tape drive and one magazine must be assigned to each partition. The robotics, the import/export slots and the cleaning slots are common resources to all partitions. For more information on partitions, see Configuring Partitions.

Control Path

The “control path” tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path at one time. By default, the first tape drive assigned to a partition is designated the control path. In the event that the control path connection to the host application fails, you can select a new control path for the partition.

I/E Station

I/E station enables importing and exporting cartridges without interrupting normal library operations. I/E station slots are located in either the lower left or the upper left magazine. The number of I/E slots for the 40 slot library is user settable to 0 (none), 3 or 8. The number of I/E slots for the 24 slot library is user settable to 0 (none) or 3.

The I/E slots are shared among all partitions. When a cartridge in an I/E slot is assigned to a partition, only that partition can access that I/E slot.

Access to the I/E slot is managed through the front panel interface only.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

The StorageLibrary T40 supports system monitoring via SNMP and SNMP Notifications.

Capacity on Demand (COD)

In StorageLibrary T40 libraries, LTO storage slots are licensed for use. At any time, Capacity on Demand (COD) allows you to enable the unused storage slots within a library via an electronic license key. The StorageLibrary T40 comes with 24 or 40 slots (two lower magazines) A StorageLibrary T40 with 24 slots can later be upgraded to 40 slots purchasing the Capacity On Demand (COD) license key

Details about the COD license key:

The license key does not expire

Once a license key is installed it cannot be removed

The COD license key can be purchased as any other product from Tandberg Data.

To see your library’s current configuration and slot availability, open the home screen of the remote management interface.

Once you receive the license key, enter it via the front panel of the library. When the license key is entered, the total number of available slots in the library increases.

Installing the Left Rail Assembly

1Measure the length between the rear rackmount rails and the front rackmount rails. If the measurement is shorter than the StorageLibrary T40, move the two sets of screws M4x12, washers and nuts shown in Figure 8 Mounting the Rack Mounting Kit to a Rack.

2Adjust the Left Rail Assembly to fit the measurement in step 1.

3Use a 7 mm open-end wrench together with the screwdriver to tighten the two M4x12 screws to fix the rail length. Using more than two screws increases the stability of the Rack Mounting Kit.

4Place the Left Rail Assembly on the left side of the rack, between the rear rackmount rail and the front rackmount rail.

5Mount the Left Rail Assembly at the desired height using one M6x12 screw in front (upper hole in rail only) and two M6x12 screws at the backside.

Installing the Right Rail Assembly

Follow the instruction for left side, only using the Right Rail Assembly on the right side of the rack.

Mounting the StorageLibrary T40 to the Rack

Figure 9 StorageLibrary T40 Mounted in a Rack shows the rails mounted in a rack with one screw M6x12 in upper hole on both left and right side. On the rear side, two screws must be used on both left and right side. A total of six screws are used to install the rails to the rack.

Make sure that the screws connecting the rails to the rack are tightened properly before installing the StorageLibrary T40 in the rack.

Slide the StorageLibrary T40 on the rails from the front of the rack.

Fix the StorageLibrary T40 using two M6x12 screws in front of the rack, one on both left and right side. Referring to the figure below, the lower screw on each side connects the library to the rack, whereas the upper screw on each side connects the left and right rail assemblies to the rack.

Installing the Tabletop Kit

The tabletop kit contains the following items:

Tabletop cover

6 M3x6 screws and 6 washers to mount the tabletop cover

4 Tabletop Feet

4 rubber bumpers

8 M3x10 screws

To install the tabletop kit, follow the instructions below. For more details and illustrations refer to StorageLibrary T40 Table Top Installation Sheet.

1Mount the 4 rubber bumpers into the 4 Tabletop Feet.

2Mount the 4 Tabletop Feet to the library’s underside, use M3x 10.

3Remove 6 screws from the left and right side of the library (3 on each side)

4Slide the tabletop cover on from top of the unit by bending it out slightly

Fasten the tabletop cover by mounting 6 M3x6 screws and washers on the left and right side of the library (3 on each side)

Installing the Library

After mounting, you must connect the cables to the library. Two sets of cabling instructions are available:

For libraries with SCSI tape drives

For libraries with Fibre Channel tape drives

For instructions on cabling a library with SCSI tape drives, see section Connecting Library Cables (SCSI).

For instructions on cabling a library with Fibre Channel tape drives, see Connecting Library Cables (Fibre Channel).

If your library includes both SCSI and Fibre Channel tape drives, cable the tape drive following the appropriate instructions for that tape drive type.

Connecting Library Cables (SCSI)

Use this procedure if you are installing a library that includes SCSI tape drives.

Figure 11 StorageLibrary T40 Cabling (SCSI)

16	Installing the Library

Guidelines for Connecting the SCSI Cables

3. Before the SCSI bus cable is connected to the StorageLibrary T40, make sure the StorageLibrary T40 power switch is off.

4. Make sure your host system is in a state where a new SCSI device can be safely connected to the SCSI bus.

5. Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.

a. Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus

b. Add 26,4 cm (10,4 inch) for the internal cable length in the StorageLibrary T40.

c. The maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 m (39 ft) if the number of SCSI devices exceeds two.

6. Before the StorageLibrary T40 is powered on and the system is restarted, make sure the SCSI bus is properly terminated.

Connecting the Cables

1. Install the library in a rack or install the tabletop kit. 2. Connect the SCSI cables to the Drive CRU.

a. On the bottom tape drive, connect a jumper cable to the top SCSI connector and then to the bottom SCSI connector on the tape drive above it. Repeat this step for all tape drives on the SCSI bus. Secure the cable with the thumbscrews on the connectors.

b. Terminate the last device on the SCSI bus with the appropriate SCSI terminator.

c. Connect a cable between the last tape drive on the SCSI bus and the host. Note that there are limitations to the length of the SCSI cable.

3. Connect your ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the rear of the library. This will give remote access to the library via the remote management interface. Push the cable until it snaps into place. Connect the other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.

4. Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of the library. 5. Power on the library by turning on the rear power switch.

6. Power up the host system.

7. Verify communication with all devices on the bus.

8. Configure your library using the commands on the front panel. For configuration information, refer to Configuring the Library.

	Caution	Make sure the AC outlet that you connect the StorageLibrary T40 power cable
		into is reliably earthed.
		Adding the StorageLibrary T40 to an existing rack installation can cause a
		leaking current fault condition because of the summation of the leaking currents.
		For security, a 250V 2A fuse is located near the power switch.

StorageLibrary T40 Installation and User Guide

Connecting Library Cables (Fibre Channel)

Use this procedure if you are installing a library that includes Fibre Channel tape drives.

Figure 12 StorageLibrary T40 Cabling (Fibre Channel)

1. Install the library in a rack or install the tabletop kit.

2. Connect the fibre cables to the Drive CRU.

a. Attach one end of the fibre cable to the fibre port on each Drive CRU.

b. Attach the other end of the cable to the host, switch or hub.

The fibre cable can be connected from the tape drive to a switch rather than a Note host.

3. Connect your ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the rear of the library for remote access to the library via the remote management interface. Push the cable into it snaps into place. Connect the other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.

4. Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of the library.

5. Power on the library by turning on the rear power switch.

6. Power up the host system.

7. Verify communication with all devices on the bus.

8. Configure your library using the commands on the front panel. For configuration information, refer to Configuring the Library.

Tandberg Data recommends that all external SCSI devices, including the Note StorageLibrary T40, are powered on before the computer system is re-started

(points 5 and 6 above).

System Power-on

At power-on, for the first few seconds the unit performs a sequence of diagnostic tests called PowerOn Self Tests (POST). POST also includes a loop-back test of the robot cabling.

After the POST sequence completes successfully, the library will respond to SCSI selections. Then the system starts a series of initialization functions, a process that consists of robot calibration operation and cartridge inventory of magazines and drive. The barcode labels on the cartridges will be read when running inventory.
