Introduction
AboutthisManual
This publication describes the procedure for replacing an existing tape drive or adding
a new tape drive to the Spectra 10000 library.
AboutthisProcedure
Caution: An upgrade to AIT-3 tape drives should not be performed if you have
a single-ended SCSI library. Check the configuration of your library
by reading the the library’s part number on the library’s back panel.
The part number should look something like this:
A library that shows a letter X or S in the character field after the
second hyphen (shown above where the letter D is located) is a
single-ended library, and it should not receive this upgrade. A single-
ended library will not support AIT-3 drives. Contact Spectra Logic
Technical Support before attempting an AIT-3 upgrade on a single-
ended library.
Caution: An upgrade to AIT-3 tape drives should only be performed with the
most current level of firmware installed on your library. Call Spectra
Logic Technical Support to verify that you have the latest firmware
installed. Technical Support can be reached at [phone] or at
[phone], extension 3175.
To perform this upgrade, you need to have some experience working inside electrical
equipment. You need to be familiarwith the operating system on the host computer and
SCSI architecture, and you need to be familiar with the library configuration and how
to operate and configure the library. Information on how to operate and configure the
library can be found in the Spectra 10000 User Guide.
Note: A current copy of the Spectra 10000 User Guide can be viewed on the
Spectra Logic Web site at www.spectralogic.com.

RecordtheLibraryConfiguration
Access the Main screen on the library’s LCD display. This screen has the Spectra 10000
button in the upper left corner (Figure 2).
1. Touch the Spectra 10000 button to access the Spectra 10000 screen (Figure 2).
2. In the table below, record the SCSI IDs for the drives and the library, as well as
the library configuration switch setting. This is a precautionary measure in the
event that switch settings are inadvertently changed.
In a library configured with a Fibre Channel interface, the device SCSI IDs are
hard-coded and cannot be changed.
Note: The Spectra 10000 library can have two independent SCSI busses. For
more complete information on configuring dual SCSI busses, refer to
Chapter 3 in the Spectra 10000 User Guide.

Note: This procedure is only necessary if you are replacing a drive. If you
are adding a drive, go to Prepare the Library for Adding a Drive on
page 8.
1. Use your host software or the library graphical user interface (GUI) to determine
if a tape is in the drive that will be replaced.
2. If a tape is in the drive, move that tape to an empty tape slot.
3. Go to Prepare the Library and Host System on page 11.

PreparetheLibraryforAddingaDrive
Note: This procedure is only necessary if you are adding a drive to the
library. If you are replacing a drive, make sure that you have followed
the instructions on page 7, then proceed to Prepare the Library and
Host System on page 11.
BackgroundInformation
The Spectra 10000 library supports either a single bus or dual bus configuration. This
feature adds flexibility and improved performance but also increases the complexity of
the library. You need to understand both the dual and single SCSI bus features to choose
where you will physically and electrically locate the new drive.
The Spectra 10000 library also supports a split bus configuration. This feature allows the
library to logically split into two separately addressable logical library systems,
essentially creating two libraries inone unit. The tape slots can be distributed in sections
of 10 so that only certain tapes are available to certain drives on a specific bus. This
feature is only available in the dual-bus mode. For more information on split-bus
configuration, refer to Chapter 3 in the Spectra 10000 User Guide.
ChooseaLocationfortheDrive
There may be several options for the new drive location, depending on the current
configuration of your library. Use the table on page 6 to help determine a drive location
and configuration for your library.

Spectra10000LibraryAITTapeDriveInstallationGuide 9
PreparetheLibraryforAddingaDrive
Notes: A drive must be installed in the Drive 1 slot for the library to operate.
For a dual logical library configuration, drives must be installed in the
Drive 1 slot and the Drive 3 slot. (Drive slot locations are marked on
the top of the carousel.)
For a comprehensive review of the internal configuration of the library, refer to Chapters
2 and 3 in the Spectra 10000 User Guide. The information in these sections details the
proper configuration settings and cable connections for single-bus and dual-bus modes.

PreparetheLibraryforAddingaDrive
When you determine where you are going to locate the new drive(s), record your new
location(s) in the table below:
Three of the carousel cartridge slots have dual purposes; they can be either storage slots
for tapes or pass-through slots to access drives. The absence or presence of backstops
determines whether a carousel slot is a pass-through slot or a storage slot. These
combination locations are marked on the top of the carousel with both the tape slot
number and the drive number.
You need to remove the backstop from a storage slot where the new drive will be
installed in order to make this location a pass-through slot. The table below shows the
drive numbers and the corresponding carousel locations that need to be pass-through
slots when a drive is installed.
For example, if you have a 20-tape carousel and you are adding a drive to Drive 3, you
will need to convert tape slot 22 to a pass-through slot.
Before removing the backstop:
1. Use your backup software or the library GUI to determine if tapes are installed
in any of the storage slots that you need to convert to pass-through slots.
2. If a tape is located in one of the storage slots that you need to convert to a pass-
through slot, move the tape to another location in the library or remove it from
the library and reintroduce it at a later time.
Go to Prepare the Library and Host System on page 11.

PreparetheLibraryandHostSystem
1. Perform a complete system shut down. Exit all programs running on the host
computer and switch off power to the host computer, the library, and any other
attached equipment.
2. Disconnect all cables from the library.
3. Make a record noting the locations of all the disconnected cables.
Warning:Disconnection of cables must be done with the power to the host
system and library off.

4. Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet and the rear of the library.
5. Make a record noting the locations of the SCSI or Fibre Channel cables.
6. Disconnect all SCSI or Fibre Channel cables from the rear of the library
(Figure 3).
7. Move the library to a location with at least one foot of table space between the
back of the library and the edge of the table. This space is needed so you have
access to all sides of the library and so that the library back panel is supported.
Warning:The library is heavy, approximately 56 lbs.; get assistance when
moving the library.

RemovetheCover
Caution: The library’s internal components are static-sensitive devices. Please
use a static dissipative wrist strap or other ESD equipment and tools
for this process.
1. Use the appropriate scewdriver to loosen or remove the three library cover
screws on the rear of the library (Figure 4).
Screws that require a Phillips screwdriver cannot be totally removed from the
cover. Loosen the screws sufficiently to fully disengage the cover.
Screws that require a flat head screwdriver must be completely removed frm
the cover.
2. Slide the cover toward the rear of the library (Figure 5) about one-half inch. This
will release the side clips holding the cover to the faceplate.
3. Remove the cover by lifting it straight up, and set it aside (Figure 6).

LowertheBackPanel
Lower the back panel for easy access to the drives and cables.
1. Four screws hold the back panel of the library in place. Use the #2 Phillips
screwdriver to remove two screws from each side of the library
(Figure 7 and Figure 8).
2. Tilt the top of the back panel away from the library (Figure 9).
Caution: Be sure there is enough space on the table to support the library
back panel when it is lowered. Damage to the cables may result if
the back is not properly supported.

RemovetheDriveSledfromtheLibrary
Note: This procedure is only necessary if you are replacing a drive. If you
are adding a drive, go to Prepare the Carousel on page 17.
1. Locate the drive to be replaced. (Drive numbers are on the top of the carousel
across from each drive.)
2. Disconnect the four-pin power connector from the rear of the drive (Figure 10).
3. Disconnect the SCSI bus ribbon cable from the rear of the drive. The black
arrow in Figure 9 on page 14 points to the SCSI ribbon cable for Drive 1.
Note: You may want to mark the drive location (Drive 1, Drive 2, Drive 3, or
Drive 4) of the drive you just disconnected on the white part of the
pull tab.
4. Disconnect the library side of the SCSI ID cable from the rear of the library. The
library side of this cable connects to the printed circuit board in the recessed
section of the library’s back panel. The white arrow in Figure 9 on page 14
points to the connector for Drive 2. The connector is labeled DRV 2.

Note: Each SCSI ID connector on the library circuit board is labeled with its
drive number, for example DRV 1. The drive numbers marked on the
circuit board correspond to the drive numbers displayed on the
Spectra 10000 screen and the drive locations marked on the top of the
carousel.
5. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two mounting screws holding the
drive sled to the library chassis (Figure 10).
Note: The screws are captive and cannot be completely removed from the
drive sled. Be sure to loosen them enough so they completely
disengage from the library chassis.
6. Grip the drive and the drive sled and move the assembly toward the rear of the
library, about one-half inch.
7. Lift the drive and drive sled assembly out of the library.

PreparetheCarousel
Note: This procedure is only necessary if you are adding a drive. If you are
replacing a drive, proceed directly to Mount the Drive in the Library
on page 18.
You need to remove the tape cartridge backstops from the carousel to allow tapes to
pass through the tape slot and into the drive. The backstops are only on the upper frame
assembly of the carousel and are secured in place with two screws.
1. Go to the previously determined location for the new drive.
Note: If a tape cartridge is in this slot, remove it now and set it aside. You
will need to reintroduce this tape into a different slot in the library
when this procedure is complete.
2. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the backstop
in place. Hold on to the backstop while removing the screws (Figure 11).
Caution: Do not drop the backstop screws into the library; loose screws can
damage the library.
3. Save the backstop and screws in case you decide to remove the drive at a later
date (to re-use the slot for a tape).

MounttheDriveintheLibrary
The bottom side of the drive sled mounts to the library chassis. A tongue and two guide
pins protrude from the bottom of the sled.
On the baseplate in the library are two keyed holes for the guide pins and a large slot
for the tongue. The tongue slot is closest to the carousel (Figure 12). The drive sled can
only be installed one way.
1. Go to the drive location where you are installing the drive.
Note: You will have either removed a drive from this location or removed a
tape cartridge backstop from this location.
2. Place the drive sled on the library chassis with the guide pins in the guide holes
and the tongue in the large slot. The drive sled should be sitting flat on the
library chassis and should not rock from side to side or front to back.
3. Firmly grip the drive sled and slide the assembly forward about one-half inch,
until it will go no further. Ensure drive sled is still flat on the baseplate.
4. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two mounting screws on the drive
sled to secure the drive sled to the chassis. Two arrows in Figure 12 point to the
mounting screws.

ConnecttheCablestotheDriveandLibrary
1. Connect the SCSI bus ribbon cable to the SCSI bus connector on the rear of the
drive. Figure 13 shows the SCSI connector on the rear of the drive and Figure 14
on page 20 shows the SCSI ribbon cable connected to Drive 1.
Note: If you are replacing a drive, refer to the drive number you marked on
the pull tab when you disconnected the SCSI cable from the drive on
page 15. Connect this connector to the drive.
If you are installing a new drive, you may have a choice of which 68-
pin SCSI connector to use. Use whichever connector will reach the
drive you are installing without putting strain on the cable. A drive
must be installed in Drive 1 and connected before connecting any
other drive.
2. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the rear of the drive. See
Figure 13 for the location of the power connector on the rear of the drive.
Figure 13 Connectorsontherearofthedrive.

ConnecttheCablestotheDriveandLibrary
3. Connect the library side of the SCSI ID cable to the printed circuit board in the
recessed section of the back panel (Figure 14).
Note: The physical location of the drive must match to the electrical location
of the drive. For example, if the drive is physically located in Drive 3,
then the library side of the SCSI ID cable must be connected to the
DRV 3 connector on the circuit board in the recessed section of the
back panel. In Figure 14, the white arrow points to the library side of
the SCSI ID connector for Drive 2. The connector on the circuit board
is labeled DRV 2 and the drive location is Drive 2.
