Chapter 1
PTM Installation Preparation
Introduction
The Compaq StorageWorks Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM) enables the
transfer of a single tape cartridge between two Compaq StorageWorks
ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries. The PTM can be used to connect up to five
tape libraries creating a large logical tape library.
NOTE: These instructions address tape libraries with a serial number of 2G99CZN11001
or higher. Tape libraries with a serial number lower than 2G99CZN11001 might require
additional hardware upgrades to support the PTM. Contact your Compaq service
representative for further information.
The PTM installation procedure consists of the following steps:
■Presteps
■Preparing for the PTM installation
■Attaching the tape libraries
■Installing the PTM
■Installing the tape library cosmetics
■Cabling the PTM
■Configuring the multi-unit tape library
■Calibrating the PTM

Chapter 2
Attaching Tape Libraries
Introduction
Up to five tape libraries can be attached using the PTM upgrade parts. All of
the tape libraries must be physically attached to one another. Repeat the
following procedure for all tape libraries in the configuration.
Attaching Procedure
To attach the first two tape libraries:
WARNING: Two people are required to perform this procedure. Failure to use
two people might cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.
1. Power off and unplug the tape libraries from their power source.
2. Raise the leveling feet on both the right and left tape libraries so they
rest on the caster wheels.
3. Remove the left side panel on the right tape library and right side panel
on the left tape library (see Figure 2-1). Remove the three screws at the
top of the panel, then lift the panel upward. Note that a sharp force
upward might be required to dislodge the panel from the retainer posts.
4. Remove the PTM cutout covers on the left and right sides of the tape
libraries (see Figure 2-2).

9. Attach the right tape library to the lower cabinet attachment channel
with five bolts (P/N 0615113) and washers (P/N 0685521). Do not fully
tighten and allow the lower cabinet attachment channel to float freely.
10. Lower the leveling feet on both tape libraries and then level them
appropriately while maintaining the following:
■The tape cartridge bin walls should be coplanar within 0.06 inch.
■The front surfaces of the two tape libraries should be coplanar
within 0.25 inches.
■The top surfaces of the two tape libraries should be flush within
0.06 inches.
11. Tighten the lower cabinet attachment channel screws in both tape
libraries to 70 in/lb.
12. Install the two spacers (P/N 6312028) and the upper cabinet attachment
plate (P/N 6312027) as shown in Figure 2-5 with seven screws and
washers on each side.
