Expansion Module: Tape Drive
The tape drive expansion module is an 8U chassis
containing 94 LTO slots.
The tape drive expansion module has three
windows on the front for viewing the robotic motion
inside the library. To the right is a 10-cartridge
configurable load port that holds two 5-cartridge
magazines.
On the back, the module contains one primary
power supply with a slot provided for another
optional redundant power supply. Refer to the
HP StorageWorks EML User Guide for additional
information and installation procedures.

Component Installation
Expansion Module: Card Cage
The card cage expansion module is a 4U chassis
that contains 48 permanent LTO slots and space for
additional interface controllers. This module must be
located directly below the 8U tape drive expansion
module in a 24U library configuration.
The front of the chassis has one window for viewing
robotic motion inside the library. On the back, six
PCI card slots are available for additional e2400-
FC 2G interface controllers to expand the library
tape drive capacity. Refer to the HP StorageWorks
EML User Guide for additional information and
installation procedures.

NOTE: Refer to each component installation poster for specific installation information.
You may also refer to the HP StorageWorks EML User Guide for additional information
and installation procedures.
Verify that you have the following equipment and accessories available
before beginning the installation process. For a native Fibre Channel (FC)
environment, you need the following:
1. One or more Ultrium tape drives (these come preinstalled in one
configuration)
2. One HP StorageWorks e2400-FC 2G interface controller for every four
tape drives (comes preinstalled in one configuration)
3. Four FC drive cables and one Ethernet cable for each e2400-FC 2G
interface controller
NOTE: Only use Ethernet cables provided with the library. If the
library uses a LAN extension connector, plug into it, and not
directly to a card.
4. One Interface Manager card (preinstalled in EML)
5. One library robotics controller (preinstalled in EML)
6. One FC cable for each interface controller connection to a host or
switch (not included)
7. One Ethernet cable for an Interface Manager card connection to the
management station
8. One Ethernet cable for an Interface Manager card connection to the
library robotics controller (preinstalled)
9. Tape cartridges for appropriate tape drives

Powering on the Library
Configuration through the
Operator Control Panel (OCP)
After all componenets have been installed and
cabled, power on the library.
a. Close and latch the library front door.
b. Open the back doors of the library rack and
press the main power switch to the 1(On)
position.
c. Close the library rack back doors.
The library requires several minutes to power on.
Nothing displays on the operator control panel
(OCP) for the first few minutes of this process.
The OCP is used to configure library settings before first use. After
the library is powered up, configure these settings as described in
the HP StorageWorks EML User Guide.
The first screen displayed after library initialization is the Home
screen. After the library status is determined (ready, warning, or
error), that status is displayed on the Home screen, and you can
touch the screen to access other functional and operational screens.
After touching the Home screen, you are
presented with a screen containing a status
bar to the left of an HP logo, two rows of
tabs, and an area for detailed screen
information in the center.

OCP icons
Critical error—A condition when a
component failure makes the library
inoperable.
Warning—A condition when a component
failure degrades library activity, but the
library is still operable.
Ready—The library is online and ready for
operation.
Thumbtack out—Indicates that the screen
is eligible to be selected for display after a
period of inactivity.
Thumbtack in—Indicates the screen has
been selected for display after a period of
inactivity. Only one screen at a time can
be thumbtacked.
Item selection—Indicates that the item can
be selected from a menu list.
Password required—Denotes that a
password is required to access this feature.
After you install and configure the library, complete the following setup tasks.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks EML User Guide for more information.
Change Password
The library ships with a null password.
Passwords must be set to exactly eight
characters consisting of the numbers
0 through 9 and the period character.
Configure Load Ports
This GUI shows the number of installed
load ports and enables you to toggle
between using each as a load port or for
tape slots. Configure it as a Load Port to
move tapes in and out of the library.
Configure as Slots to increase the number
of storage slots in the library. Changing a
load port configuration will cause a library
reboot.
Change Network Settings
This configures the network settings for the
Interface Manager card, which can be set
automatically with DHCP (the default), or
manually with a static IP address. Use the
Address Config: button to toggle between
these two options. If you are setting the
network addresses manually, touch each
address element separately to set the
network configuration.
Configure Barcode Reporting Formats
This defines how bar codes are displayed
on the OCP and sent to the host. Bar code
reporting can be configued as 6 to 8
characters and left or right aligned. If 6
characters with left alignment is chosen,
any characters after the six are truncated.
With 6 characters and right alignment, only
the last six characters are shown with the
beginning characters truncated.
Configure Reserve Slots
Up to nine slots can be reserved for special
purposes, such as cleaning tapes. The
default is none. Select the number you want
to reserve and press Save.
Configure Inventory Mode
This allows you to require bar codes on
tape cartridges, or to make them optional.
Requiring bar codes significantly improves
inventory time.
