INSTALLING A TAPE DRIVE IN
This document explains how to install or replace a tape drive in the Tandberg
StorageLibrary T24 or Tandberg StorageLibrary T48. Please read the entire section that
you are using prior to beginning the procedure.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT
Note: If your library is installed in a rack, it is not necessary to remove the library from the
rack to complete this procedure. It is also not necessary to disconnect the Ethernet
cable from the back of the library.
Obtain these items—a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver.
Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause electrostatic
discharge (ESD)—If possible, use an antistatic mat and a grounded static protection
wristband during installation. If a mat and wristband are not available, touch a known
grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
Warning
Warnung
Advertencia
Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be
sure that the library’s power switch is off and that the power cord is
disconnected from the library and the outlet.
Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist
darauf zu achten, daß der Library-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist
und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Library und der Steckdose entfernt
ist.
Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de
mantenimiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la
biblioteca está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está
enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Both the StorageLibrary T24 and StorageLibrary T48 Library accommodate Ultrium 3
(LTO-3) or Ultrium 2 (LTO-2) tape drives in half height (HH) or full height (FH)
configurations. Neither library will accommodate LTO-1 tape drives.

Note: Most of the illustrations show SCSI configurations. Use the same steps to install Fibre
Channel tape drives.
Information that is specific to the individual libraries is indicated as follows:
The tape drives must be specially configured (at the factory) for use in a
StorageLibrary T24 or StorageLibrary T48 library. Purchase tape drive
kits only from Tandberg Data or Tandberg-approved suppliers.

RECONFIGURING THE LIBRARY AND RESUMING OPERATION
RECONFIGURING THE LIBRARY
In order for the library to recognize the new tape drive, you must set the tape drive
configuration to match the tape drives that are installed in the library.
Note: Do not connect the SCSI cables at this time.
To set tape drive configuration:
1. At the Home screen, press Drive.
If necessary, enter the operator panel password (see page 72).
2. Press until the selection arrow ( ) points to Drive Configuration.

Select Back
Modify OK
Note: The library lists “no drive” only if there is no room for more tape drives. For
example, in the above screen, the StorageLibrary T48 library has two half height
tape drives. The four tape drive number is for four half height tape drives.

configuration. Press Select.
Select Drive 1

IBM LTO-3 FullHigh
Select Back
Note: This menu option requires input for all of the tape drives installed in the library. If
you press “Back” before configuring all the tape drives, the configuration
selection will not change.
5. Press OK.
6. Repeat the process for each tape drive installed.
7. Press Back (as needed) to return to the Home screen.
RESUMING OPERATION
1. Power the library off (press the 0 on the back of the unit—after setting the new tape
drive configuration).
2. Connect the interface cables.
Connect the Fibre Channel cable (or cables if you installed more than one Fibre Channel
tape drive).
or...
Connect the SCSI cable (or cables if you installed more than one tape drive) and a
terminator (if needed).
! Important
You must install a terminator on the device at the physical end of the SCSI bus. If
one of the tape drives in the library terminates the SCSI bus, you must install the
required terminator on one of the tape drive’s SCSI connectors.
Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 tape drives require an Ultra 3 or LVD
160 terminator to function properly on the SCSI bus. An
inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues,
including bus hangs and Read/Write failures. See the individual
Product Manuals at www.tandberg.com for detailed
information.
If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure that only the device at the
physical end of the bus is terminated.
26 OF 28
The library communicates with the host through the SCSI interface of one of the
tape drive via the Automation Drive Interface (ADI) serial interface.
See the tape drive’s Product Manual for tape drive information.
See Automation/Drive Interface – (ADC) for ADI information.
3. Reconnect the power cord and power on the library (press the
then power on the host.

megabytes of data to ensure that the library and the newly installed tape drive (or tape
drives) are communicating correctly.
