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 an iSCSI host interface. This document describes upgrading a
standard PX500 library equipped with a SCSI host interface to an iSCSI host
interface using a TC2201 Upgrade kit.
TC2201 Bridge
Operation 0Once a TC2201 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.
Preparing for the TC2201 Installation 0
Before beginning the installation procedure, make sure that you have the
required upgrade kit and tools.
Required Upgrade Kits 0The TC2201 installation requires the following upgrade kit for every two tape
drives in a PX500 Series library (see table 1):
Table 1 TC2201 Upgrade
Kit PN PR-UU9WG-YF
Required Equipment
(Customer Supplied) 0A zonable Ethernet switch is required if multiple TC2201 iSCSI bridges are installed in either a PX506 or PX510 library. If a single TC2201 iSCSI bridge is
installed, an Ethernet switch is not required.
Required Tools 0The following tools are required to install the TC2201 bridge upgrade:
• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
Note: All part numbers are subject to change without notice.

Operations screen (see figure 1).
Figure 1 Operations
Screen
2Select Library operations and press Enter.
3From the library operations menu, select Library on/offline and press Enter
to turn the library offline.
4Verify that the OCP display indicates “Offline” from the OCP screen.

Removing Tape Drive
SCSI Cables 0Each pair of tape drives within the library are connected via a SCSI cable. These cables must be removed prior to cabling the TC2201.
1Locate the SCSI 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-right 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.

8 TC2201 Upgrade Procedure
Installing the TC2201
Bridge 0The number of TC2201 bridges required depends on the number of tape drives installed in the library.
• 1 to 2 tape drives requires 1 TC2201
• 3 to 4 tape drives requires 2 TC2201 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)
• 5 to 6 tape drives requires 3 TC2201 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)
• 7 to 8 tape drives requires 4 TC2201 bridges (PX510 only)
• 9 to 10 tape drives requires 5 TC2201 bridges (PX510 only)
To install the TC2201 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 TC2201
installation (one blank off plate per TC2201).
2With the SCSI ports located to your right as you face the back of the
library, slide the first TC2201 into the slot of the card cage (see figure 6 for
PX502, figure 7 for PX506, and figure 8 for PX510).

TC2201 Bridge (PX502)
Note: Start the TC2201 installation in slot 1 of the CPCI card cage
(PX506 and PX510 only).

12 TC2201 Upgrade Procedure
Installing the Ethernet
Cables 0Depending on the library type, one or more Ethernet connections must be made to the TC2201 iSCSI 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 TC2201 iSCSI 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 TC2201 (see figure 11).
Figure 11 PX502 Ethernet
Connection
PX506 and PX510 Ethernet Connections 0
PX506 and PX510 require an Ethernet switch if more than one TC2201 is
installed in the library. Use the following procedure to install the Ethernet
switch and connect the Ethernet cables.
Note: If your PX506 or PX510 libraries have only a single TC2201 iSCSI
bridge, refer the PX502 Ethernet Connections. A single Ethernet
cross-over cable is connected between the library SCB and TC2201.

TC2201 Upgrade Procedure 13
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 each library SCB to the
Ethernet switch.
• One Ethernet cable from each TC2201 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 the libraries are in a multiple stack configuration, mount the
Ethernet switch directly above the top-most library.
Note: The Ethernet switch shown in the following figures (figure 12
and figure 13) is only an example.

• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the first TC2201 are used to connect to
tape drives 0 through 1 and the library robotics controller.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the second TC2201 are used to connect to
tape drives 2 through 3, if present.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the third TC2201 are used to connect tape
