Introduction 3
Introduction 0
The Quantum PX500 Series automated tape libraries are controlled by a host
computer via a SCSI LVD bus using the SCSI-3 medium changer command
set.
The Quantum PX500 Series allows for easy conversion from the SCSI host
interface to a Fibre Channel host interface. This document describes
upgrading a standard PX500 library equipped with a SCSI host interface to a
Fibre Channel host interface using a FC1202 Upgrade kit.
Fibre Channel
Description 0Fibre Channel is a serial data transfer architecture for use with computers and mass storage devices that is rapidly emerging to challenge SCSI as the
interface of choice for host-to-storage applications.
Fibre Channel advantages include:
• Connection distances with the Quantum FC1202 option up to 500 meters
• 1 GB/Sec, 2 GB/Sec, or autosense data transfer rates
• Supports up to 126 devices in a loop mode
• Supports 24-bit addressing for over 16 million devices in point-to-point
mode or fabric, when using a Fibre Channel switch or multiple Fibre
Channel switches.
• Operating system independence
• Interconnect flexibility
FC1202 Bridge
Operation 0Once a FC1202 bridge option is installed and tested, the library operates exactly as a PX500 Series with a SCSI host interface. Operation of the library
via the operator control panel (OCP) is unchanged.

4 Preparing for the FC1202 Installation
Preparing for the FC1202 Installation 0
Before beginning the installation procedure, make sure that you have the
required upgrade kit and tools.
Required Upgrade Kits 0The FC1202 installation requires the following upgrade kit for every two tape
drives in a PX500 Series library (see table 1):
Table 1 FC1202 Upgrade
Kit PN PR-UU9CF-YF
Required Equipment
(Customer Supplied) 0A zonable Ethernet switch is required if multiple FC1202 Fibre Channel bridges are installed in either a PX506 or PX510 library. If a single FC1202
Fibre Channel bridge is installed, an Ethernet switch is not required.
Required Tools 0The following tools are required to install the FC1202 bridge upgrade:
• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
FC1202 Upgrade Procedure 0
The upgrade procedure is identical regardless of the number of FC1202s
installed except where noted. The upgrade procedure consists of the
following major steps:
•Preparing the Quantum PX500 Series Library
•Removing Tape Drive SCSI Jumper Cables
•Installing the FC1202 Bridge
•Installing the Ethernet Cables
•Installing SCSI Jumper Cables
Note: All part numbers are subject to change without notice.

6 FC1202 Upgrade Procedure
Removing Tape Drive
SCSI Jumper Cables 0Each pair of tape drives within the library are connected via a SCSI jumper cable. These cables must be removed prior to cabling the FC1202.
1Locate the SCSI jumper cables connecting each pair of tape drives in the
library and the host systems (see figure 3 for PX502, figure 4 for PX506,
and figure 5 for PX510). The tape drives are numbered 1 through 10
(depending on library model) starting in the top-left drive bay. Tape drive
1 is in the upper right-hand drive bay, tape drive 2 is in the upper left-
hand drive bay, and so forth. Refer to the following illustrations for exact
tape drive numbering.

FC1202 Upgrade Procedure 9
Installing the FC1202
Bridge 0The number of FC1202 bridges required depends on the number of tape drives installed in the library.
• 1 to 2 tape drives requires 1 FC1202
• 3 to 4 tape drives requires 2 FC1202 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)
• 5 to 6 tape drives requires 3 FC1202 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)
• 7 to 8 tape drives requires 4 FC1202 bridges (PX510 only)
• 9 to 10 tape drives requires 5 FC1202 bridges (PX510 only)
To install the FC1202 bridge:
1Loosen the two PHILLIPS screws securing the blank off plate(s) to the
CPCI card cage and expose the number of slots needed for the FC1202
installation (one blank off plate per FC1202).
2With the SCSI ports located to your right as you face the back of the
library, slide the first FC1202 into the slot of the card cage (see figure 6 for
PX502, figure 7 for PX506, and figure 8 for PX510).

FC1202 Upgrade Procedure 13
Installing the Ethernet
Cables 0Depending on the library type, one or more Ethernet connections must be made to the FC1202 Fibre Channel bridge. Refer to the following section for
your specific library:
•PX502 Ethernet Connections
•PX506 and PX510 Ethernet Connections
PX502 Ethernet Connections 0
PX502 libraries with installed FC1202 Fibre Channel bridges must have the
following Ethernet connections:
1Connect a cross-over cable between the right port of the library system
controller board (SCB) and the FC1202 (see figure 11).

14 FC1202 Upgrade Procedure
PX506 and PX510 Ethernet Connections 0
PX506 and PX510 require an Ethernet switch if more than one FC1202 is
installed in the library. Use the following procedure to install the Ethernet
switch and connect the Ethernet cables.
To install and cable the Ethernet switch:.
1Refer to the Ethernet switch installation documentation to install the
switch into the rack.
2Connect the following Ethernet cables:
• One Ethernet cable from the right port on the SCB to the Ethernet
switch (master library only).
• One Ethernet cable from each FC1202 to the Ethernet switch.
3Secure the Ethernet cables with cable clamps and tie bands as needed (see
figure 12 for unstacked configurations and figure 13 for stacked
configurations).
Note: If your PX506 or PX510 libraries have only a single FC1202 Fibre
Channel bridge, refer the PX502 Ethernet Connections. A single
Ethernet cross-over cable is connected between the library SCB
and FC1202.
Note: If the libraries are in a multiple stack configuration, mount the
Ethernet switch directly above the top-most library.
Note: If possible, connect the SCB and FC1202 Ethernet connections
to the Ethernet switch in the following order:
• SCB connected to Ethernet switch port 1 (master library
only)
• First FC1202 to Ethernet switch port 2
• Second FC1202 to Ethernet switch port 3 and so forth....
This allows for easier maintenance and future FC1202
additions.
Note: The Ethernet switch shown in the following figures (figure 12
and figure 13) is only an example. The actual Ethernet switch
shipped in the kit my differ slightly.

FC1202 Upgrade Procedure 17
Installing SCSI
Jumper Cables 0Use the following procedure to connect the SCSI jumper cables and terminators to the tape drives and FC1202(s).
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the first FC1202 are used to connect to
tape drives 0 through 1 and the library robotics controller.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the second FC1202 are used to connect to
tape drives 2 through 3, if present.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the third FC1202 are used to connect tape
drives 4 through 5, if present.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the fourth FC1202 are used to connect
tape drives 6 through 7, if present.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the fifth FC1202 are used to connect tape
drives 8 through 9, if present.
To cable a FC1202 bridge to the tape drive(s):
1To connect the SCSI cables from the FC1202 to the tape drives, see table 2
and figure 14.
