CoD Feature for the Spectra 2000 Library
Introduction
About this Guide
This guide describes the method for implementing CoD, Spectra Logic’s capacity-on-
demand feature, in the Spectra 2000 library.
About CoD
CoD gives you the ability to double the storage capacity in your Spectra 2000 library
(from 15 slots to 30 slots) as it is needed. CoD is the most cost-effective and efficient
way to meet the growing data storage needs of your Spectra 2000 library while
eliminating the risk factors associated with planning for this growth.
CoD is a feature available only on Spectra 2000 libraries with Fibre Channel and
Ethernet interfaces.
Estimated Time Required
This procedure should take less than 10 minutes (not including time for cable setup or
HyperTerminal configuration, if necessary).
Materials and Tools Required
To upgrade your library with CoD, you will need the following:
• A CoD-enabled Spectra 2000 library.
- You can verify if you have a CoD-enabled library by checking the part number on
the rear panel of the library. CoD-enabled libraries have the number 3 in the sixth
position in the part number. For example: 9087X
3
XX-X-XXX.
• A TAOS firmware level of 4.1 or above.
- If you need assistance checking your current firmware level or assistance updating
your library firmware, contact Spectra Logic Technical Support at (800) 227-4637
or at (303) 449-6444, extension 3175.
• A 15-slot data cartridge magazine (DCM), P.N. 90870652.
- Two 15-slot DCMs were shipped with your library. If you cannot locate your
second DCM, you will need to order a new one in order to use CoD.
• A CoD Activation Key for the Spectra 2000 library, P.N. 90870034.
