1Introduction
The HP StorageWorks Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM) enables the transfer of tape cartridges
between HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Series tape libraries. A single PTM system can be used to
create a multi-unit tape library configuration by connecting:
•Up to eight two-drive libraries
•Up to four four-drive libraries
•A combination of two- and four-drive libraries equivalent to a 40U height
NOTE: See ”Planning the Installation” on page 11 for specific configuration details.
NOTE: All MSL Series libraries in a multi-unit library configuration must use the same drive types.
Check with your application software vendor to manage partitioning by tape technology if you
want to mix drive types in a multi-unit library configuration.
Mixed media is not supported on libraries with firmware levels of 4.04 or earlier.
The PTM installation procedure consists of the following steps:
•Preparing for the PTM installation
•Installing the PTM
•Cabling the PTM
•Configuring the PTM
NOTE: An MSL Series PTM is not compatible with either a TL series or an SSL series PTM.
Preparing for the PTM Installation
Before beginning the installation procedure:
1. Using the packing slip, verify the components that came with the PTM Upgrade Kit.
2. Make sure that you have the required tools (see ”PTM Required Tools” on page 10).
3. Make sure the library is functional.
4. Make sure that you are using the proper version of firmware. See ”Verifying the Firmware Level”
on page 40.

2 Installing the PTM
This chapter describes how to install a Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM) for an HP StorageWorks
MSL6000 Series tape library. Sections in this chapter include:
•Planning the Installation, page 11
•Positioning the Libraries, page 12
•Installing the LAN Hub, page 13
•PTM Base Unit Description, page 16
•Installing a Single PTM Base Unit (5U Models), page 16
•Preparing to Install a PTM (10U Models), page 20
•Adding Extensions to a PTM Base Unit, page 23
•Installing a Longer Belt to an Extended PTM, page 28
•Installing the Extended PTM, page 31
•Cabling the PTM and LAN Hub, page 31
Planning the Installation
NOTE: Two unique extension sizes are available: 5 Unit (5U) and 10 Unit (10U). Two-drive models
such as the MSL6030/6026 are designated as 5U. Four-drive models such as the MSL6060/6052
are designated as 10U.
A PTM can be mounted into the following rack enclosures:
•Compaq 7000/9000/10000 Series
•AlphaServer H9A
•HP rack system/e
Two PTM variations are available:
•A factory-assembled PTM (base unit) that can be used to connect two 5U libraries (one master
and one slave).
•The PTM base unit plus extensions with a combined length equal to the number of adjacent MSL
Series libraries installed in a rack enclosure.
• For 5U libraries: one master and up to seven additional slaves.
• For 10U libraries: one master and up to three additional slaves.
• Any combination of MSL Series libraries not to exceed 40 U.
If PTM extensions are required, assemble the entire PTM system before installing it in a multi-unit
library configuration.

Installing the PTM12
CAUTION: Do not apply power to any library. Attempting to connect or disconnect a PTM to a
library that has power applied can damage the library and the PTM base unit PCB.
Determining the Type and Number of Extensions
The PTM base unit measures 10U. Use the following guidelines to add extensions.
NOTE: You cannot add two 5U slaves using a 10U extension kit due to 10-BaseT cable
requirements in the kit.
5U Model as the Master Unit
•If you are adding one 5U as a slave, no additional extensions are required.
•If you are adding one 10U as a slave, an additional 5U extension is required.
•Additional 5U slaves require the addition of a 5U extension kit for each unit after the first.
•Additional 10U slaves require the addition of a 10U extension kit for each unit after the first.
10U Model as the Master Unit
•Additional 5U slaves require the addition of a 5U extension kit for each unit.
•Additional 10U slaves require the addition of a 10U extension kit for each unit.
Positioning the Libraries
The PTM must be attached to the top two libraries in a multi-unit library configuration. Additional
slave libraries can be installed anywhere below the first two libraries, in any order.
NOTE: Additional libraries may be installed above the multi-unit library configuration.
The top library in the multi-library configuration (master) senses the position of each library during
initialization at power-up.
NOTE: All MSL Series libraries in a multi-unit library configuration must use the same drive types.
Check with your application software vendor to manage partitioning by tape technology if you
want to mix drive types in a multi-unit library configuration.
Mixed media is not supported on libraries with firmware levels of 4.04 or earlier.

Installing the LAN Hub
An eight-port LAN hub is included in the PTM Upgrade Kit. It comes pre-assembled in its own
bracket for installation at the side of a rack enclosure. The LAN hub is used to connect each
installed library to a WAN via the 10-BaseT connector on the library controller board for
coordinating PTM operation and communication.
To install the LAN hub:
1. Install cage nuts/clip nuts as indicated in Figure 1 through Figure 4.
2. Carefully install the LAN hub bracket.

Preparing to Install a PTM (10U Models)
To prepare to install a PTM:
NOTE: A 10U extension must be added to the PTM base unit to connect two 10U libraries. See
”Adding Extensions to a PTM Base Unit” on page 23.
1. Install two 10U libraries as shown in Figure 10 on page 21 following the instructions in the HP
StorageWorks MSL6000 Series Tape Library User Guide.
NOTE: Each library needs to be pulled out sequentially from the front of the rack enclosure to gain
access to the top PTM cover plate screw on a lower library. See Figure 12 on page 23 for screw
locations.
