LTO Tape Drive Installation Instruction

Note: These instructions apply to both the LTO-LVD (A6322A) and the

LTO-HVD (A6323A) drives.

CAUTION: Remote resolution must be attempted for servicing, adjustment,

maintenance, or repairs prior to authorization of on-site service.

Note to Customer Engineer: This installation may add new technology to

the library that older user’s guides do not address. Please remind the

customer that the latest user documentation is available from the HP

Customer Care website: http://www.hp.com/go/support.

■Materials Included

■Installation Notes

• Confirm with the customer System Administrator that the tape library can be

powered off.

• Observe proper power off and power on procedures, as described in the

installation or service manuals.

• When you install a LTO tape drive, remove the product ID label located on

the drive and place it in the appropriate box on the drive location label. The

drive location label is located on the inside of the library door, just below

the UL label.

■Library Drive Attachment

Tape drives are shipped individually. Due to the size differences of the LTO, DLT and 9840

drives, there are a variety of ways of installing the drives. Typically, drive installation moves

from the bottom slot and up.

Refer to figure 1 and the explanation below for the configuration rules for installing drives.

1. The first callout in Figure 1 shows that the uppermost drive slot in the drive column

can only be a DLT or LTO drive.

2. The second callout depicts the size ratio of the 9840 drives to the DLT and LTO drives.

In size, two 9840 drives fit in the same space as three DLT or LTO drives.

3. The third callout shows this ratio again: three DLT or LTO drives fit in the same space

as two 9840 drives.

4. The fourth callout depicts a mixture of 9840 and DLT or LTO drives.

You may also install six 9840 drives plus one DLT or LTO drive in a column, where the

DLT or LTO drive occupies the top drive slot.

The following table lists the available combinations for one-drive column.

■Installing the LTO Drives

Use the following procedure to unpack and install the drives.

LTO tape drives are shipped with the following, non-selectable configurations:

•Low voltage differential or high voltage differential operation

Note: Refer to Figure 2 and make sure that the labels on the drive match the

drive type and operation required.

Figure 2. LTO Labels

Note: Check with the customer for their maintenance agreement on tape drives. If

the customer agreement is to return the drives for repair, have them retain

one shipping box, with packing material, to return drives to factory.

101397 6

Note: Refer to Figure 3 for the following procedure.

1. Open the drive access section of the 20/700 tape library (at the right side, as viewed

from the front of the library) by lifting up on the two latches. Turn the latches

counterclockwise and open the side door.

On the 10/180 tape library pull open the outer door and then unlatch the seven latches

on the inside door to get to the drive access section of the tape library.

The latches on both tape libraries can be unlatched as follows:

a. Turn the Phillips-head, latch screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

b. Press on the top edge of the latch.

c. Turn the latch handle clockwise.

d. Repeat Steps a through c for each latch.

2. Look inside the drive column area and determine the slot(s) you want to use for each

drive.

Note: The LTO uses one slot and the 9840 uses one and one half slots.

3. Pull on the vacancy-plate knob and remove the plate from the slots where you will

install the LTO drive.

4. Open the drive package.

5. Remove the packing material.

6. Place the LTO drive power switch to the OFF (O) position.

7. Following the lifting procedures described in Chapter 2, “Safety and ESD,”of the

installation manual, firmly grasp the drive at the rear with one hand and place the other

hand under the drive mounting plate.

8. Carefully angle the drive into its slot. Push it in as far as it will go and firmly seat the

drive.

CAUTION: In the following step, do not over tighten the thumbscrew.

9. Refer to Figure 3 and turn the thumbscrew clockwise until it is secure.

10. Repeat Steps 1 though 8 for each additional drive you want to install.

■Installing the LTO Cable Connectors

The following procedures describe how to install the tape channel connectors for the tape

drives.

Standard Drive Column 0 Connectors

Note: Drive Column 0 is the standard drive column included in all libraries. It is the

column that contains the calibration label at the bottom. Some of the

following steps may require two people. Refer to Figure 4 for orientation in

the following steps.

1. Go to the rear of the library, open the door, and locate the connector bulkhead.

Note: To make the steps that follow easier, the rear door of the 20/700 can be

removed by detaching the landard chord on the frame side and then

lifting door off the hinges. It is only necessary to remove the rear door if

you are installing cables on the first drive tower.

2. Locate the hardware kit from the drive packaging, and remove both the SCSI Y-cable

and the package of jack screws.

3. Prepare the Y-cable for insertion into the bulkhead:

a. Determine the orientation of the 68-pin connector. The connector goes into the

tape library bulkhead in a vertical position (see Figure 4).

b. Thread a jack screw into the “bottom”edge of the connector.

Note: Thread the jack screw fully into the hole and then back it out 1/4 turn.

4. Insert the two 68-pin, Y-cable connectors into the bulkhead slots adjacent to the drive

(make sure that the jack is at the bottom).

Note: It is easier to insert the connector if you tilt it away from the bulkhead.

5. Grasp the connector and thread the second jack screw into the top connector.

6. Make sure the connector aligns inside its slot, and tighten both jack screws with a 3/16-

inch nut driver. Do not overtighten.

101397 10

7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the second Y-cable connector.

8. Insert the single connector end into the LTO drive.

9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for all drives in Column 0.

10. Close the rear door(s).

Optional Drive Column 1 Connectors

Note: This section applies to the 20/700 tape library only.

1. Locate and open the small access door (located on the frame member between the two

drive columns) for the Column 1 drive connectors by turning the five snap rings

counterclockwise.

a. Turn the five 1/4-turn fasteners counterclockwise to open the small access door.

2. Install the LTO drives. See the instructions for the standard drive column, if necessary.

3. Install the SCSI Y-cable(s) connectors at the bulkhead. See the instructions for the

standard drive column, if necessary.

4. Insert the remaining Y-cable connector into the SCSI connector on the LTO drive(s).

5. When all connectors are in place, close and lock the small access door.
