2Required Tools and Equipment

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide

Required Tools and Equipment

• Ethernet cable

Environmental Requirements

The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:

• Humidity 20% – 80% non-condensing

• Temperature: 50°F – 95°F (10°C – 35°C)

• Altitude: –500 to 10,000 feet (–152 to 3048 meters)

These environmental conditions apply when the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries are in

operation. For additional specifications, refer to the

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80

User’s Guide

In addition, install the library in a location that is as free from dust as possible. Dust can

damage or degrade performance of library components and media.

Taking ESD Precautions

Some components within the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries contain static-sensitive

parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always

observe the following precautions:

• Use an antistatic wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch the outside of the library

on the sheet metal before touching any components to discharge static from your

body.

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for

installation. Look for the ESD sticker to identify static sensitive parts.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative

humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

Unpacking the Library 3

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80

Unpacking the Library

Note: Unpack the library as close to the installation location as possible.

1Inspect the outer library packaging for damage. If there is any damage evident on

the library packaging, do not continue with the installation and contact Quantum

customer support.

2Open the library packing box and remove the kit tray containing the accessory kit

and rail kit (see Figure 1). Some configurations come with tape drives installed in the

library, and some come with tape drives packaged separately. If yours comes with

tape drives packaged separately, remove them and set aside for installation later.

3Remove the top foam.

4 Scalar i80 only: Remove the shipping carton by lifting it straight up out of the

bottom tray.

5With the help of a second person, lift the library chassis out of the bottom foam and

place it on a table approximately waist high.

WARNING: Two people are required to safely lift the library out of its packaging

or into a rack.

Caution: Lift the library chassis at the sides. Avoid putting the weight of the

library chassis on the front bezel.

6Remove the anti-static wrapping from the library. Keep the anti-static wrapping

intact so that you can use it later if needed.

7Save the packing box, packaging material, and anti-static wrapping in case you need

to move or ship the library in the future.

8Remove the robot restraint. The robot restraint consists of four (4) thumbscrews, a

plastic sheet, and a small metal clip, located on the top cover of the library. (See

Figure 2.)

aUnscrew and remove the four thumbscrews from the top cover (see Figure 2).

Save the thumbscrews in case you need to move or ship the library in the future.

Note: The robot may stay at the top of the library, or it may move downward

toward the floor of the library. If it moves downward, you will hear the

gears turning as it moves. This is normal.

bRemove the plastic sheet and metal clip and discard. You will not need to use

them again.

9Once you remove the robot restraint, you may cover the holes in the library top

cover with stickers, which are provided in the accessory kit for this purpose. This

step is optional and is intended to prevent small objects from accidentally falling

into the library through the holes.

10 Remove the protective plastic sheet covering the front panel display.

Installing the Library in a Rack or Desktop Kit

Follow the instructions that came with your rail kit or desktop kit to install the library.

Installing the Tape Drives

If your library already has tape drives installed, skip this section.

Tape Drive Slot Location

Considerations

Tape drives can only fit in certain slots, as described below and illustrated in Figure 3.

Slots are numbered starting from the bottom and moving up.

•Scalar i40: Half-height tape drives can be installed in slots 1 and 2.

•Scalar i80: Half-height tape drives can be installed in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

It is recommended to start installing the tape drives at the bottom slot and work up,

without leaving spaces between.

6Installing the Tape Drives

Installation Locations for

Half-Height Tape Drives

Installation Instructions 1If needed, remove filler plates from the back of the library to make room for the

tape drives. Unscrew the two captive thumbscrews and pull the filler plates out of

the library. Save the filler plates in case you need to use them in the future.

2Unpack the tape drive and tape drive cable.

Caution: The tape drive always resides in a drive sled, and together they are

effectively one unit. Do not remove the tape drive from the drive sled.

3Insert the tape drive into the drive slot. The “shelf” on the bottom of the drive sled

fits into the notch in the library chassis and slides on the plastic guide rails (see

Figure 4). The tape drive must be level to slide in smoothly. At the very end of the

slide, you will feel a slight “click” as the tape drive sled connector connects into its

mating connector in the library chassis.

4Tighten the tape drive’s captive thumbscrews finger tight to secure the tape drive to

the library chassis.

5Install a filler plate over any open tape drive slot. If you need more filler plates,

contact Quantum.

Caution: Filler plates are required to maintain proper library cooling. Do not run

the library with uncovered slots.

Connecting the Cables

Connect the cords and cables as follows (see Figure 5). It is recommended that you leave

some slack in the cables to allow you to perform replacement procedures in the future.

1Connect the tape drive cables from the tape drives to the host.

Note: Cables for full-height Fibre Channel tape drives must be installed in the

LEFT port as you view the installed tape drive from the rear of the library.

Caution: Use care when handling the fibre optic cables. Do not crimp or bend

the cables. Do not exceed the bend radius specified by the

manufacturer.

2Connect an Ethernet cable (not supplied) into the LEFT port on the system control

board (SCB). The right SCB port is for service use only; do not use. Connect the other

end of the Ethernet cable into a live Ethernet jack connected to your network.

3Connect the power supply cord into the power supply connector. Plug the other end

of the cord into a grounded AC outlet.

• To configure basic network settings using the Setup Wizard, press the button

corresponding to Next on the menu bar. You will be guided through a series of

screens where you can accept or change the default configuration settings

(date, time, IP address, licenses, partitions, I/E station slots, and cleaning slots).

Once you accept a setting, you move to the next one. Remember that you can

always change the configuration later if needed.

• To cancel out of the Setup Wizard and begin using the library immediately, press

the button corresponding to Cancel on the menu bar. This accepts the library’s

default configuration, including an IPv4 address assigned by DHCP. The Setup

Wizard will not appear on the operator panel again, but you can change any of

the configuration settings later using the Setup menus on the operator panel or

the Web client. It is easier to configure the library using the Web client, so you

may wish to cancel now. To access the Web client immediately, skip the rest of

this section and go to Accessing the Library Via the Web Client on page 13.
