Introduction 3

Introduction 0

The Quantum PX500 Series automated tape libraries are controlled by a host

computer via a SCSI LVD bus using the SCSI-3 medium changer command

set.

The Quantum PX500 Series allows for easy conversion from the SCSI host

interface to an iSCSI host interface. This document describes upgrading a

standard PX500 library equipped with a SCSI host interface to an iSCSI host

interface using a TC2201 Upgrade kit.

TC2201 Bridge

Operation 0Once a TC2201 bridge option is installed and tested, the library operates

exactly as a PX500 Series with a SCSI host interface. Operation of the library

via the operator control panel (OCP) is unchanged.

Preparing for the TC2201 Installation 0

Before beginning the installation procedure, make sure that you have the

required upgrade kit and tools.

Required Upgrade Kits 0The TC2201 installation requires the following upgrade kit for every two tape

drives in a PX500 Series library (see table 1):

Table 1 TC2201 Upgrade

Kit PN PR-UU9WG-YF

Required Equipment

(Customer Supplied) 0A zonable Ethernet switch is required if multiple TC2201 iSCSI bridges are

installed in either a PX506 or PX510 library. If a single TC2201 iSCSI bridge is

installed, an Ethernet switch is not required.

Required Tools 0The following tools are required to install the TC2201 bridge upgrade:

• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

Note: All part numbers are subject to change without notice.

4 TC2201 Upgrade Procedure

TC2201 Upgrade Procedure 0

The upgrade procedure is identical regardless of the number of TC2201s

installed except where noted. The upgrade procedure consists of the

following major steps:

•Preparing the Quantum PX500 Series Library

•Removing Tape Drive SCSI Cables

•Installing the TC2201 Bridge

•Installing the Ethernet Cables

•Installing SCSI Cables

•Configuring the TC2201 Bridge Software

Preparing the

QuantumPX500Series

Library 0

To prepare the PX500 Series library:

1With the library turned on, press the Ops button on the OCP to access the

Operations screen (see figure 1).

Figure 1 Operations

Screen

2Select Library operations and press Enter.

3From the library operations menu, select Library on/offline and press Enter

to turn the library offline.

4Verify that the OCP display indicates “Offline” from the OCP screen.

5Turn off the power button located on the front of the library (see figure 2).

Caution: Use appropriate ESD procedures when assembling and

installing the TC2201 option.

Removing Tape Drive

SCSI Cables 0Each pair of tape drives within the library are connected via a SCSI cable.

These cables must be removed prior to cabling the TC2201.

1Locate the SCSI cables connecting each pair of tape drives in the library

and the host systems (see figure 3 for PX502, figure 4 for PX506, and

figure 5 for PX510). The tape drives are numbered 1 through 10

(depending on library model) starting in the top-right drive bay. Tape

drive 1 is in the upper right-hand drive bay, tape drive 2 is in the upper

left-hand drive bay, and so forth. Refer to the following illustrations for

exact tape drive numbering.

8 TC2201 Upgrade Procedure

Installing the TC2201

Bridge 0The number of TC2201 bridges required depends on the number of tape

drives installed in the library.

• 1 to 2 tape drives requires 1 TC2201

• 3 to 4 tape drives requires 2 TC2201 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)

• 5 to 6 tape drives requires 3 TC2201 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)

• 7 to 8 tape drives requires 4 TC2201 bridges (PX510 only)

• 9 to 10 tape drives requires 5 TC2201 bridges (PX510 only)

To install the TC2201 bridge:

1Loosen the two PHILLIPS screws securing the blank off plate(s) to the

CPCI card cage and expose the number of slots needed for the TC2201

installation (one blank off plate per TC2201).

2With the SCSI ports located to your right as you face the back of the

library, slide the first TC2201 into the slot of the card cage (see figure 6 for

PX502, figure 7 for PX506, and figure 8 for PX510).

Note: Start the TC2201 installation in slot 1 of the CPCI card cage

(PX506 and PX510 only).
