Revision History

000 August 2000 Initial release

001 November 2000 Added 215M information

002 April 2001 Added AIT information

003 March 2002 Added Fibre Channel M2 information for 430M-FC

1 Preparing for installation

These instructions describe how to install or replace a tape drive in the

following Exabyte®libraries:

!430M and 215M SCSI libraries with M2 tape drives

!430A and 215A SCSI libraries with AIT tape drives

!430M-FC Fibre Channel library with M2 tape drives

The tape drive kit contains one Exabyte Mammoth-2 (M2™) or one AIT tape

drive, pre-installed in a drive carrier. The M2 tape drive has either a SCSI or

Fibre Channel interface. The AIT tape drive has a SCSI interface. The SCSI

tape drive kit includes one wide SCSI cable. The Fibre Channel tape drive

kit includes one optical fiber cable.

➤Important The Fibre Channel M2 tape drive kit is for

the 430M-FC library only. Do not install a Fibre Channel

M2 in the 215M.

Note: You can convert a 430M library from SCSI to Fibre Channel

(430M-FC) using an upgrade kit available from Exabyte. Contact

Exabyte at 1-800-774-7172 or 1-800-392-8273 for this kit.

1Preparing for installation

Installing or replacing a tape drive in the 430 or 215 library involves the

following steps:

!Removing an existing tape drive or drive service access cover

!Installing the new tape drive

!Testing the library and resuming operation

Note: The illustrations in these instructions show the 430 SCSI library. The

component locations are similar in the 215 library. Where necessary,

the 430M-FC is also shown.

To prepare for installation:

1. Obtain a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

2. Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause

electrostatic discharge (ESD). If possible, use an antistatic mat and

grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a mat and

wristband are not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as

the computer’s metal chassis.

3. Power off the library and disconnect the power cord.

CAUTION

If the library is attached to a SCSI bus, make sure the

library is not communicating across the bus before

powering it off. Powering off the library may disrupt

communication on the SCSI bus.

WARNING!

Before continuing with these procedures, be sure that

the library’s power switch is in the off position and

that the power cord is disconnected from the library.

2Removing the tape drive

2 Removing the tape drive

If you are replacing an existing tape drive, follow the steps below to remove

the drive. If you are installing an additional tape drive, skip to Section 3,

“Removing the drive’s service access cover,” on page 5.

1. From the library’s back panel, disconnect the cables from the back of the

tape drive you plan to replace. If you are replacing a SCSI tape drive,

remove any terminator that might be installed on the drive.

2. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to release the two captive screws that

secure the tape drive carrier to the library.

3Removing the drive’s service access cover

3. Remove the drive carrier by grasping the handle and pulling it straight

out of the library. The drive carrier weighs about 5 pounds; make sure

you support the bottom of the carrier as you remove it.

3 Removing the drive’s service access cover

Follow these steps if you are installing a tape drive in an empty slot.

1. From the back panel, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to release the two

captive screws that secure the service access cover to the library.

2. When the screws are loosened, remove the drive access cover.

4Installing the tape drive

4 Installing the tape drive

1. Insert the tape drive so that the handle is at the top and the fan is at the

bottom, as shown in the following figure. The drive should slide easily

toward the front of the library.

2. Tighten the captive screws on each end of the drive carrier to

8.0 inch-pounds (9.2 kg-cm) of torque.

CAUTION

Do not install a mixture of Fibre Channel and SCSI tape

drives in the library. Mixing drive interfaces could

cause data loss.

5Connecting the cables (SCSI library)

5 Connecting the cables (SCSI library)

For the 430M, 430A, 215M, and 215A SCSI libraries, connect the SCSI cables

as described in this section. For the 430M-FC Fibre Channel library, go to

Section 6, “Connecting the cables (Fibre Channel library),” on page 8.

1. If you replaced a tape drive, reconnect the SCSI cables (or cable and

terminator) to the new tape drive as they were before. If you installed

an additional tape drive that will be on the same SCSI bus as the other

drives in the library, remove the terminator from the adjacent drive and

install it on the new drive. Then, use the SCSI cable provided in the kit

to connect the new tape drive to the adjacent drive. The following

figure is an example of a typical cable and terminator configuration for

three tape drives on a single SCSI bus.

2. Reconnect the power cord and power on the library. The library

automatically calibrates the position of the new tape drive.

3. If you installed a new tape drive, set the SCSI ID for the drive as

described in Exabyte 430M and 430A Libraries Installation and Operation or

Exabyte 215M and 215A Libraries Installation and Operation. If you

replaced a drive, the new drive automatically assumes the SCSI ID of

the old tape drive.

4. Proceed to Section 7, “Testing the library and resuming operation,” on

page 9.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the tape drive, make sure the

library is powered off when you connect it to the SCSI

bus.

6 Connecting the cables (Fibre Channel library)

For the Fibre Channel 430M-FC, connect the optical fiber cable as follows:

1. Remove the protective plug from the optical fiber connector on the new

tape drive, if present.

2. Attach an optical cable from the Fibre Channel hub or switch to the Fibre

Channel connector on the new tape drive, as shown in the following

figure.

Note: You can use the optical cable provided in the kit, or you can use

your own cable. Make sure that the cable is compatible with

the GBIC on the tape drive and on the hub or switch.

3. Reconnect the power cord to the library, then power on the library. The

library automatically calibrates the position of the new tape drive.

7Testing the library and resuming operation

7 Testing the library and resuming operation

Before resuming operation, use the Demo Menu from the operator panel to

ensure that the robot and the newly installed tape drive are

communicating correctly. The Demo Menu causes the robot to randomly

move cartridges from slot to slot, including the fixed cartridge slots.

To test the library operation using the Demo Menu, follow these steps:

1. Insert a cartridge in the entry/exit port.

Note: All other cartridges in the library can remain where they are.

The testing can also be performed without any cartridges other

than the one in the entry/exit port.

2. If necessary, disable security as follows:

a. Press the [MENU] key to display the menus. Press the down arrow key

until “Security” appears on the screen, as shown below. If security

is enabled, “LCD Password” appears on this screen.

b. Press [ENTER]. The following screen appears.

c. Use the left and right arrow keys to move across the columns. Enter

your password using the up and down arrow keys to select a

number. Press [ENTER]. Security is then disabled.

3. Change the control mode to LCD as follows:

a. Press [MENU] to display the menus, then press the down arrow key

until “Robot Mode” appears. The Robot Mode screen shows the

currently activated mode.

screen appears.

c. Use the arrow keys to select LCD mode and press [ENTER]. The screen

shows the new selection.

4. From the operator panel keypad, press [MENU] to display the menus.

Press the down arrow key until “Demo Menu” appears, as shown below.

5. Press [ENTER]. The following screen appears.

6. Press the up arrow to display “Y.” Press [ENTER]. The following screen

appears.

7. Use the arrow keys to set the number of moves (the left and right arrow

keys move across the columns; the up and down arrow keys change the

numbers). Then press [ENTER].

Note: The default number of moves is 10. Exabyte recommends that

you perform at least 20 moves.

8. The library begins the demo and displays status messages. If you want

to abort a demo in progress, press [ESCAPE].

9. After the demo moves have successfully completed, press [STATUS] to

return to the main menu.

10. Return the control mode to SCSI by pressing [MENU] then pressing the

down arrow key until “Robot Mode” appears.
