Move a cartridge from one I/O slot to another
If you enable the insert notification setting, when new media is detected in the I/O
station the operator panel displays a message that asks you to select a logical
library. Any unassigned cartridges in the I/O station are then assigned to the
logical library that you select (and all other logical libraries will not be able to
access the cartridges). If you do not select a logical library within 60 seconds or if
you select the BACK button, the library makes the cartridges unassigned and the
operator panel returns to the Activity Screen. You can later assign the unassigned
cartridges by using the IBM System Storage Tape Library Specialist Web interface
or the TS3500 Tape Library Command Line Interface.
For more information, see the sections about enabling or disabling the insert
notification setting and assigning cartridges to a logical library in the

Storage TS3500 Tape Library with ALMS Operator Guide .
Power structure of the TS3500 Tape Library
This section introduces the two power structures that are offered by the TS3500
Tape Library.
Depending on the frames that you have, the library offers two power structures:
v
For Models L22, D22, L32, D32, L52, and D52, the library offers the frame control
assembly power structure, with the option of ordering dual AC line cords for
redundancy.
v
For Models L23, D23, L53, and D53, the library offers the enhanced frame control
assembly power structure, which combines drive power, library power, and
standard dual AC line cord capabilities.
The two power structures are compatible among frames in the same library.
Frame control assembly and dual ac power
This section describes the frame control assembly (FCA) power structure and the
optional dual ac power feature of the TS3500 Tape Library. This power structure
and feature apply to Models L22, D22, L32, D32, L52, and D52.
The frame control assembly power structure is designed so that each Ultrium tape
drive and 3592 tape drive is paired with an associated power supply. Adjacent
power supplies are cabled together such that redundant power becomes a standard
function. Each pairing is packaged side by side on a shelf in a frame. Drives are
housed in removable canisters and power supplies are housed in fixed trays. The
design enables a drive with a failed power supply to continue operating by using
power from the adjacent power supply.
The library's optional dual ac power feature further enhances library availability by
making another power source available in case of planned or unplanned power
grid outages. The feature provides a power switch that connects to two
independent ac power cords which connect to two independent branch power
feeds. The power cords support 110 V ac or 220 V ac. The switch monitors the ac
line voltage from the feed it uses and automatically connects to the alternate power
feed if the incoming voltage is lost. Dual ac power is available when you order
feature code 1901.
