Introduction 0

This document provides instructions for adding a tape drive to an Scalar 50

tape library. The tape drive upgrade procedure consists of the following

steps:

•Unpacking the Tape Drive

•Installing the Tape Drives

•Cabling the Tape Drives

•Setting the Tape Drive SCSI ID

•Completing the Native Fibre Channel Installation

•Fibre Channel Connectivity Troubleshooting

Tape Drive Numbering 0The Scalar 50 tape library may contain up to 4 tape drives depending on the

tape drive type. Refer to the following figures:

•Figure 1 Full height drives (up to two per library)

•Figure 2 Half-height drives (up to four per library)

6 Unpacking the Tape Drive

Required Tools 0The following tools are required to perform the tape drive upgrade

procedure:

• Flat blade screwdriver

Unpacking the Tape Drive 0

To unpack the tape drive:

1Open the shipping carton.

2Remove the tape drive from the carton.

The tape drive is protected by two pieces of foam and an antistatic bag.

3Remove the foam from the wrapped tape drive. Remove the tape drive

from the antistatic bag.

Installing the Tape Drives 0

To install tape drives in a Scalar 50 Series library:

1At the back of the library, use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen the

captive screws that secure the cover plate to the empty drive bay.

2Set the cover plate aside.

Caution: Use appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions

when installing the tape drive.

Note: If this is an initial library installation, it is recommended to turn

the library off prior to installing tape drives. If this is an existing

library that is receiving a tape drive upgrade, the library can

remain powered on.

Note: Each tape drive ships from Quantum with a version of library

firmware as well as drive firmware on the tape drive interface

PWA. When you install the tape drive, the library will check the

version of library firmware on the tape drive and verify if the

firmware is newer than the version currently running. If the

library firmware on the tape drive is newer than the version

currently running on the library, the OCP will prompt you with

the option to upgrade the library firmware.

Cabling the Tape Drives 7

3Insert the tape drive into the drive bay slowly until the connectors are

seated (see figure 3).

4Tighten the tape drive captive screws using a flat blade screwdriver.

5Repeat steps 1through 4to install another tape drive in a different

location, if desired.

Proceed to Cabling the Tape Drives.

Cabling the Tape Drives 0

After the tape drive(s) have been installed, you must connect SCSI or Fibre

Channel cables to each drive.

Refer to the following figures to cable the tape drives:

•Figure 4 SCSI full height drives

•Figure 5 Native Fibre Channel full height drives

•Figure 6 SCSI half-height drives

•Figure 7 Native Fibre Channel half- height drives

•Figure 8 Stacked Library Configuration
