Scalar i40 and Scalar i80:

Tape Drive Installation

Quantum recommends that you install tape drives with the library power on. It

is faster and keeps all non-affected drives and partitions active. To do this,

carefully follow the instructions below, to prevent data loss or damage to the

Scalar®i40 or Scalar i80 library.

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

one unit. If you order a new or replacement tape drive, it will already be

installed in a sled.

Caution: Do not remove the tape drive from the drive sled.

Note: For multiple tape drive installs in which you are changing control paths,

install and verify the tape drives one at a time, rather than all at once.

To install a tape drive in the library, refer to the following sections:

•Taking ESD Precautions on page 1

•Installing a Tape Drive on page 2

•Replacing a Tape Drive with a Filler Plate on page 4

Taking ESD Precautions

To avoid damaging static-sensitive parts while performing this procedure,

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.

2Installing a Tape Drive

• 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.

Installing a Tape Drive

Tape Drive Slot Location

Considerations

Tape drives can only fit in certain slots, as shown in Figure 1. Slots are numbered

starting from the bottom and moving up.

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

height tape drive can be installed in slot 1.

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

Full-height tape drives can be installed in slots 1, 3, and 5. The extra space

where slot 6 would be cannot hold a half-height tape drive, but will

accommodate a full-height tape drive installed in slot 5.

Figure 1 Acceptable

Installation Locations for Full-

Height Tape Drives

If possible, it is recommended to start installing the tape drives at the bottom

slot and work up, without leaving spaces between.

Note: If you need to remove one or more filler plates, unscrew the two

thumbscrews securing the filler plate to the back of the library. Holding

the thumbscrews, pull the filler plate gently out of the library. Save the

filler plate in case you need to use it in the future.

Installing a Tape Drive 3

1Insert the tape drive into the empty 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 2). The tape drive

must be level to slide in smoothly. When the tape drive is correctly inserted,

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

mating connector in the library chassis.

Figure 2 Installing a Tape Drive

2Tighten the tape drive’s captive thumbscrews finger tight to secure the tape

drive to the library chassis.

The tape drive LED illuminates red for up to 30 seconds. Then the tape drive

fan starts and the LED turns amber, indicating that the tape drive is offline.

3Connect the tape drive cable from the tape drive to the host.

If the firmware on the newly installed tape drive is different from the

standard configured on the library, the library will automatically autolevel

the new tape drive’s firmware upon installation. (See the

Scalar i40 and

Scalar i80 User’s Guide

for details about tape drive firmware autoleveling).

Autoleveling takes about 7 minutes. A message appears on the Operator

panel, indicating that autoleveling is taking place.

If autoleveling is not required, the tape drive takes about 2 minutes to reach

a ready state.

4If needed, add the new tape drive to an existing partition or create a new

partition for it.

aFrom the Web client, select Setup > Partitions.

bComplete the necessary screens.

5Bring the tape drive online, if it is not online already.

aFrom the Operator panel, select Actions > Tape Drive and select

Change Mode.

bSelect the tape drive you want to bring online and press Modify.

cUse the Up button to change the mode to Online, then press Apply.

The tape drive LED turns green.

6Verify the installation by reviewing the Library Configuration report:

aFrom the Web client Reports > Library Configuration.

bMake sure that the new drive is online, in the correct partition, and has

the control path status that you want. You may need to refresh your

Internet browser.

7Verify that the host computer and backup applications can see the new tape

drive configuration correctly.

8If any empty slots remain, install a filler plate in the empty slot (see

Replacing a Tape Drive with a Filler Plate on page 4).

Caution: Filler plates are required to maintain proper library cooling. Do

not run the library with uncovered slots.

9Run the tape drive diagnostic test on the newly installed tape drive to be

sure it is functioning correctly:

aInstall a scratch tape in the top I/E station slot.

bIf manual cartridge assignment is enabled, assign the scratch tape to

the System partition.

cFrom the Operator panel, select Tools > Diagnostics.

dContinue through the next few screens to run the tape drive test on the

replaced tape drive.

If a problem is found during testing, you receive a diagnostic ticket. See the

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide

for more information about the tape

drive test.

Replacing a Tape Drive with a Filler Plate

The filler plate is half-height in size. If you remove a full-height tape drive, you

must install two filler plates to cover the opening.

1The tape drive filler plate has no “top” or “bottom” orientation – it can go in

either way (see Figure 3on page 5).

2Slide the filler plate into the slot, and tighten the thumbscrews.
