Introduction
Overview of functions
The Panasonic DATA ARCHIVER LB-DH7 series is a high-capacity storage library device using
optical discs.
The basic library device system of the LB-DH7 series consists of one Base Module (LB-DH70A),
one Bottom Module (LB-DF81), and one Extension Module (LB-DF72A, with the Writer Unit).
The Base Module, which serves as the centerpiece of the system, is connected to other modules with the exclusive
use connection cables to exchange control signals with external servers. Also designed for magazine storage, it can
accommodate up to 76 magazines.
In addition, the Base Module has tree built-in drives that read and write data and two SAS interface ports.
The Bottom Module has a function that takes the optical discs of magazines stored in each module in and out of
drives, and a scanner that reads the RFID tags built into magazines and the 1D or 2D code labels attached to
magazines.
The Extension Module (with the Writer Unit) houses the Writer Unit LB-XD73A in its Extension Unit LB-XH82.
The Magazine Unit is designed for magazine storage and can accommodate up to 76 magazines.
The Writer Unit has three built-in drives that read and write data and two SAS interface ports.
It can also be connected to the Base Module and Extension Unit.
The basic system includes six drives (three in the Base Module and another three in the Extension Module with the
Writer Unit). These six drives make up and work as one drive system.
The DATA ARCHIVER LB-DH7 series can increase the number of magazines stored or have
multiple drive systems by adding the Extension Module (with a Writer Unit) or Extension Module
(without a Writer Unit) LB-DH82.
The Extension Module (without a Writer Unit) is a combination of the Extension Unit integrated with Control Unit LB-
XC82.
The Control Unit does not house drives. It is only has a function that connects the Base Module and Magazine
Extension Unit.
Supported magazines
Two types of magazines, those with capacity of 3.6 TB and those with a capacity of 1.2 TB, are supported. (Both
values are for unformatted)
Each magazine houses a built-in HF-band RFID tag. When you pull out a magazine drawer of a module, store,
replace or remove a magazine, and then close the magazine drawer, the scanner performs RFID reading within the
system, providing information on magazines stored in the system.

Introduction Overview of functions
Maximum capacity of the unit
The maximum capacity of one set in the basic system is 547.2 TB (for 152 magazines [3.6 TB], unformatted).
The maximum capacity of the maximum system configuration, which consists of five Extension Modules as well as
the basic system above, is 1915.2 TB (for 532 magazines [3.6 TB], unformatted).
Read/Write speed
The maximum read/write speed per drive system is 432 MB/sec (RAID 0/3.6 TB magazine).
Interface
A Serial Attached SCSI (“SAS”) system and a control interface designed to control devices such as the changer unit
are mounted as drive interfaces.
In addition, DATA ARCHIVER Control Software (DA control software), which is to be installed on the server to be
connected to the unit, has an SCSI host interface designed to be connected to an application.
Compatibility with 19-inch rack
The unit can be installed in a 19-inch rack with a depth of 1,000 mm (39.4z) that conforms to the EIA standard.
Obtain a rack that meets the following requirements:
≥A standard 19 inch rack that conforms to EIA standards
≥A server rack (must have front and rear panel mount frames and square mounting holes)
≥A rack that has mounting holes with universal spacing
≥A rack with a mounting hole size of at least 9.3 mm (0.4q)
≥A rack with a height of at least 16U (Base Module (LB-DH70A): 6U, Bottom Module (LB-DF81): 4U, Extension
Module (with
the Writer Unit
) (LB-DF72A): 6U)
≥A rack that can withstand a load exceeding the combined weight of the modules to be mounted (>84)
* A rack with a depth of at least 1,000 mm (39.4q) is recommended.
≥Install the panel mount frames so that the ones on the front and rear sides are 660 mm (26.0q) to 790 mm (31.1q)
apart.
≥Install the drawer-side’s panel mount frames so that the distance between an imaginary line formed by these
frames and an imaginary line extending horizontally from the projection on the inner surface of the rack’s drawer-
side door will be 55 mm (2.2q) to 115 mm (4.5q). (The frames can be adjusted in 3 steps at 20 mm (0.8q) intervals)

Introduction Overview of functions
System configuration
Connect various ports of the unit to a power source and a server according to the functions to be used.
In addition, install DA control software to the server to be connected to the unit. For more information on how to
install, refer to the Install Guide.
≥When adding Extension Modules (with the Writer Unit), they need to be added in increments of two. Connect two
SAS cables (straight) and one SAS cable (branch) to each pair of Extension Modules to be added.
Use the specified optional SAS cables.
There are two types of drive interface cables (SAS cables), distinguished by the shape of their server-side
connectors.
∫Required connections
Base Module and Bottom Module/Control Unit/Writer Unit: Uses a control interface port
External power supply: Uses the power connector
Server: Uses a drive interface port and a control interface port

APower button
Pressing the button causes the unit to be turned on and its LED
illuminates in green.
≥When the button is pressed and held for at least 4 seconds (but
less than 10 seconds), the LED will flash fast in green and the
magazine carrier unit will be stored in the Bottom Module. When it
is stored completely, the LED will flash slowly in green.
≥Although it is possible to force the unit to turn off by pressing and
holding this button for at least 15 seconds, in normal
circumstances, turn it off by controlling it from the server
connected to the unit to prevent problems such as data loss and
server shutdown. When the unit is forced to turn off, the magazine
carrier unit will not be stored in the Bottom Module.
≥The power button is not present on the drawer side.
≥Even if the unit is turned off, a part of its circuitry remain on.
