1U Rackmount Enclosure

Installation Guide

The 1U Rackmount enclosure is provided with either one or two of the

following supported tape drives already installed:

• LTO-3 (Model B) Half-Height, SCSI model TC-L33CX-EY-B

• LTO-3 (Model B) Half-Height, SAS model TC-L33CN-EY-B

• LTO-4 (Model B) Half-Height, SCSI model TC-L43CX-EY-B

• LTO-4 (Model B) Half-Height, SAS model TC-L43CN-EY-B

• LTO-5 Half-Height, SAS model TC-L53CN-AR

• LTO-6 Half-Height, SAS model TC-L62AN-BR

• LTO-7 Half-Height, SAS model TC-L72AN-BR

• LTO-8 Half-Height, SAS model TC-L82AN-BR

You can upgrade a single-drive enclosure to the two-drive configuration by

installing a second tape drive using any supported model of the same type

interface.

This guide references the instructions for installing the 1U Rackmount

enclosure in an equipment rack, and provides the procedures for:

• Connecting the drive interface and power cables

• Installing a second tape drive into the 1U Rackmount enclosure

2Connecting the Drive Interface and Power Cables

LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6, LTO-7 and LTO-8

Power Requirements Power requirements for the 1U Rackmount enclosure are as follows:

• 100 to 240 Volts AC, 2 to 4 Amps

• 47 to 63 Hz

Connecting the Drive Interface and Power Cables

1Shut down and turn off the host server system.

2Turn off all attached accessory devices, such as printers and other SCSI devices.

3On the back panel of a SCSI 1U Rackmount enclosure (see Figure 1):

Note: If this is a SAS 1U rackmount enclosure, continue with Step 4.

aConnect one end of the supplied external parallel SCSI cable to parallel SCSI

connector on the same side of the enclosure as the installed tape drive.

bConnect the other end of the supplied external parallel SCSI cable to the parallel

SCSI connector on the host server.

cAs required, use the parallel SCSI ID selector switch to set the SCSI ID of the

installed tape drive (see Figure 1).

Note: Any time you change the parallel SCSI ID, you must turn the tape drive

power off and then back on by pressing the power button on the front

panel of the 1U Rackmount enclosure.

Figure 1 Parallel SCSI Interface

Connectors

4On the back panel of a serial-attached SCSI (SAS) 1U Rackmount enclosure (see

Figure 2):

aConnect one end of the supplied external SAS interface cable to one of the

external SAS interface connectors at the rear of the enclosure (see Figure 2). The

left-most SAS connector is for a drive installed on the left of the enclosure, and

the right-most SAS connector is for a drive installed on the right.

6Connect the other end of the AC power cable to the rack/facility AC power

receptacle.

7Press the drive power pushbutton switch on the front panel of the 1U Rackmount

enclosure, illuminating the power LED. (see Figure 4).

Installing a Second Tape Drive or Replacing a Tape Drive

Follow these instructions to install a second tape drive or to replace a tape drive after it

has been removed.

Caution: Before installing a second tape drive, you must turn off the 1U Rackmount

enclosure and disconnect it from its AC power source.

Preinstallation

Requirements

Before installing a second tape drive in the 1U Rackmount enclosure, make sure you

have the following required tools and parts:

Installation Procedure The installation procedure is divided into the following major sections:

•Removing the Top Panel

•Adding a Second Tape Drive

•Replacing a Tape Drive:

•Connecting the Tape Drive Cables

•Re-installing the Top Panel

Removing the Top Panel

To remove the top panel:

1Press the drive power pushbutton switch on the front panel of the 1U Rackmount

enclosure to turn off the drive power.

2Disconnect the AC power cable from the AC power connector on the back panel of

the 1U Rackmount enclosure.

3Remove the 1U Rackmount enclosure from the equipment rack and place it on a

clean, stable, flat surface.

4Remove the top access panel (see Figure 5):

aLoosen the latch screw

bLift the latch and slide the top panel toward the back of the 1U rackmount

enclosure.
