Preparing for Conversion
Overview
This chapter explains what is needed to convert an existing jukebox into several
configurations. The following topics are presented.
■Conversion options and kits, page 10
■Tools and firmware, page 12

Preparing for Conversion

Conversion options and kits
To convert a jukebox from a magneto optical (MO) system to an ultra-density optical (UDO)
or mixed-media system, first make the existing MO jukebox UDO-ready. After this is
complete, you can install new UDO drives in place of the MO drives, or in addition to
retrofitted existing MO drives. The following sections describe the kit required for each
option.
Converting an existing MO jukebox to UDO technology (making the unit
UDO-ready)
Converting an existing MO jukebox to UDO technology involves converting the jukebox and
installing four UDO drives as described in “Install UDO drives in MO modules” on page 31,
and using Kit AA991A. Items included in the kit are listed in Table 2. Converting to a unit
with 10 UDO drives will also require kit AA992A described in the next section.
Retrofitting and reinstalling 14x MO drives for a mixed-media jukebox
If you are retrofitting and reinstalling MO drives, do so after you have made the jukebox
UDO-ready. Four existing 14x MO drives will be retrofitted and reinstalled using the
instructions in “Retrofit and reinstall MO drives” on page 33. Use Kit AA992A.
Note: This procedure is done only after making the jukebox UDO-ready.
Items included in the kit are listed in Table 3.

Note: Only 14x MO drives can be upgraded and included in a mixed-media jukebox. 2x, 4x, and
8x MO drives are not supported in a mixed-media configuration.
Increasing number of drives in jukebox
A jukebox can be upgraded from 4 or 6 drives to contain 6 or 10 drives. For each additional 2
UDO drives added to the jukebox, use Kit AA993A, the contents of which are presented in
Table 4.
Increasing slot capacity
If the existing jukebox has only 128 slots and the customer is upgrading capacity to 238 slots,
a capacity module will be needed to allow the system to use the additional slots. Use Kit
C1159P, the contents of which are presented in Table 5.

Tools and firmware
When upgrading or converting the library, connect your PC to the jukebox to perform the
following two tasks:
■Download firmware to the jukebox controller and drives.
■Verify proper operation of the drives after conversion or firmware installation.
Specific tools and firmware are required.
Tools
■Compatible host computer on which to run HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools
(L&TT)
■HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools, which can be downloaded from
http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools
■For laptops, Adaptec APA-1480/60 single-ended, high-density male cable with a
high-byte terminated adapter (50-pin high-density female to 68-pin high density male)
■T-10, T-15, and T-20 Torx drivers
Firmware
The first step in performing a conversion is to obtain the most current version of the jukebox
controller and drive firmware for the model and option of the jukebox to which you are
converting. Firmware can be downloaded from
http://www.hp.com/go/support . Follow the
menu choices to the firmware for this jukebox.

Convert an MO Jukebox to UDO or Mixed-Media Technology
14 3800ux/7100ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide
Upgrade the firmware
Before performing the hardware conversion, upgrade the firmware to the correct level for
UDO jukeboxes.
Note: Use HP StorageWorks Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) to get the proper firmware. Download this
software and the corresponding user’s guide on the web from
http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools .
1. If there are disks in any of the drives, use the control panel to remove them.
2. Record the customer’s default configurations so that the jukebox can be correctly restored,
if necessary.
Go to the CONF* menu on the control panel to access and display the current jukebox
configurations.
Caution: Do not switch off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive.
Switching off the jukebox when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or
indeterminate bus states.
3. If the host computer does not have HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), you
will need to connect to a laptop that does have L&TT to update the jukebox firmware. To
do so, perform the following tasks.
a. Power off the jukebox.
b. Ensure that your host computer is also powered off and disconnect it from the
jukebox.
c. Remove any cable connections to the single-ended ports on the interface module.
d. Connect a SCSI cable between your laptop computer and the 50-pin single-ended
SCSI ports on the SCSI interface PCA. (If there are two SCSI interface PCAs, connect
to the PCA that is attached directly to the module.)
e. Power on the laptop computer and the jukebox.
4. Follow the HP StorageWorks L&TT instructions to download the UDO jukebox firmware.
■Download firmware for an AA969A for a UDO-only conversion.
■Download firmware for an AA974A for a mixed-media conversion.
Note: This will require an override because the UDO firmware does not match the hardware ID
string, which is still MO technology. Set CONFIG 40 to ON from the jukebox OCP. Also, the jukebox
display will likely show DEVICE FAILED. Again, this is because the MO hardware, which is HVD or
S/E SCSI, is still in place, and UDO requires LVD.
5. Wait until the jukebox is at the READY or DEVICE FAILED or FIRMWARE MISMATCH
state after the download.
6. If a laptop is connected to the jukebox in step 3, power off the jukebox and disconnect the
laptop at this time.

153800ux/7100ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide
Access inside the jukebox
To access inside the jukebox:
1. Power off the jukebox using the power switch, located in the upper opening on the back of
the jukebox.
Caution: Do not switch off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive.
Switching off the jukebox when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or
indeterminate bus states.
Note: For steps 2 - 4, please refer to Figure 1, page 16.

2. Unplug the jukebox.
3. Remove outer access panels on the right of the jukebox, as you face the jukebox front:
a. Remove the bottom access panel by pulling the bottom of the panel away from the
jukebox, then lifting the panel from the jukebox.
b. Remove the middle access panel by removing the 2 T-20 torx screws from the bottom
of the panel and lifting the panel from the jukebox.
c. Remove the top access panel by removing the 2 T-20 torx screws from the bottom of
the panel and lifting the panel from the jukebox.
4. Remove the two inner access panels by removing the 7 T-20 torx screws that secure each
panel and removing the panels from the unit.

Remove existing drives
Caution: Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in their containers
until needed. Ensure you are properly grounded when touching static-sensitive components.
To remove existing drives:
1. Disconnect cables that connect the drives to the interposer board at the interposer board
end.
2. For each drive module, remove the 2 T-20 torx screws from each side of the drive module
(4 screws total).
3. Carefully slide the drive module back and out of the chassis.
Note: If you are converting to mixed-media, set aside the drive modules for later use. If you are
converting to UDO only, discard or recycle these drives.

Remove the interposer board(s)
Caution: Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in their containers
until needed. Ensure you are properly grounded when touching static-sensitive components.
To remove the interposer board(s):
1. Remove all cables from the interposer board(s).
Jukeboxes with 4 or 6 drives will have only one interposer board. Jukeboxes with 10 drives
will have two interposer boards (see Figure 1).
2. If there is a configuration module on the upper interposer board, remove it and set it aside
for later use.
3. For each interposer board, remove the 8 T-20 torx screws that secure it to the jukebox (see
Figure 2).
4. Remove the interposer board(s) from the jukebox.
5. Discard or recycle the interposer board(s).

Remove the SCSI interface PCA(s)
Caution: Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in their containers
until needed. Ensure you are properly grounded when touching static-sensitive components.
To remove the SCSI interface PCA(s):
1. Remove the SCSI interface PCA module(s) from the jukebox by removing the 2 screws
that secure it to the jukebox and pulling it from the jukebox frame.
2. Remove all cables from the SCSI interface PCA module(s).
3. Remove the 6 T-15 screws that secure the SCSI interface PCA to the module.
4. Remove the SCSI interface PCA from the module.
5. If there is a second SCSI interface PCA, remove it as well.
6. Throw away all terminators (including the 68-pin terminators) from the obsolete SCSI
interface PCA(s). New LVD SCSI terminators are required and are provided with the kits.
7. Discard or recycle the PCA(s).
