Scalar i6000 Installation Guide

Installing Drives
Use the procedure in this section to install LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, SDLT-600, SDLT-320, and
DLT-S4 drives in either the control module or an expansion module in a new library. See
on page 233 to add drives to an existing library.
These instructions assume that you have not yet turned on power to the library.
For instructions on how to install drives in an existing library, see the
Adding Drives to an Existing Installation
Required tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver, ESD strap
1
Open the service door of the control module or expansion module.
2
Attach the ESD strap to your wrist and to an unpainted surface inside the door.
3
Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the necessary number of cover plates from the drive sled
positions. Remove the cover plates starting at the bottom and working towards the top of the library.
Note
The library supports mixing the FC and SCSI drives in any order in the drive
sled positions. However, gaps between drive locations are not supported.
Drives must be installed in each module in the order shown in
The control module must be fully populated with 12 drives before installing any
drives in the first expansion module. The first expansion module must be fully
populated before installing any drives in additional expansion modules. Each
additional expansion module must be fully populated before installing any
drives in subsequent expansion modules.
Note
If you are installing a SCSI drive, you must attach the SCSI terminator to the
drive before you insert it into drive slot when the library power is on.
Note
LTO-5 Drives
The LTO-5 FC drive can be connected either through an Ethernet Expansion
blade or through a 7404 FC I/O blade.
An LTO-5 FC drive connected to an Ethernet Expansion blade provides the
following:
• 8 Gbps data speed maximum
• Full data path services—drive brick firmware autoleveling, LUN mapping,
channel zoning, capturing drive logs
• Not a data path for drives
An LTO-5 FC drive connected to a 7404 FC I/O blade provides the following:
• 4 Gbps data speed maximum
• Limited data path services—drive brick firmware autoleveling
• Serves as a data path for drives
