Tandberg Data Magnum 224 User manual

2 OF 12
These instructions describe the Magnum 224 LTO library (224), the StorageLibrary T24 (T24), and the
StorageLoader 2U LTO (2U). Please read the entire section that you are using prior to beginning the procedure.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT
Note: If your library is installed in a rack, it is not necessary to remove the library from the rack to complete this
procedure. It is also not necessary to disconnect the Ethernet cable from the back of the library.
✔Obtain these items—a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver.
✔Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD)—If possible,
use an antistatic mat and a grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a mat and wristband
are not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
GENERAL INFORMATION
All of the libraries accommodate Ultrium 4 (LTO-4), Ultrium 3 (LTO-3), or Ultrium 2 (LTO-2) tape drives and half
height (HH) or full height (FH) configurations. None of the libraries accommodate LTO-1 tape drives.
Warning Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure that the library’s
power switch is off and that the power cord is disconnected from the library and the
outlet.
Warnung Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist darauf zu achten, daß
der Library-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Library
und der Steckdose entfernt ist.
Advertencia Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de mantenimiento,
comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la biblioteca está apagado y que el
cable de alimentación no está enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.
! Important The tape drives must be specially configured (at the factory) for use in the libraries. Purchase
tape drive kits only from Tandberg Data or Tandberg Data-approved suppliers.

RECONFIGURING THE LIBRARY AND RESUMING OPERATION
RECONFIGURING THE LIBRARY
In order for the library to recognize the new tape drive, you must set the tape drive configuration to match the
tape drives that you installed in the library.
Note: Do not connect the SCSI cables at this time.
To set tape drive configuration:
1.
1.1.
1. At the Home screen, press Drive.
If necessary, enter the operator panel password (see the Product Manual at www.tandbergdata.com).
2.
2.2.
2. Press until the selection arrow ( ) points to Drive Configuration, press Select, and then press Modify.
! Important The library requires both the SCSI cover plates and the tape drive cover plates for
ESD protection. Do not leave any openings uncovered.
Do not connect the SCSI cables until after you reconfigure the library.

RESUMING OPERATION
1.

1. Power the library off (press the 0 on the back of the unit—after setting the new tape drive configuration).
2.
2.2.
2. Connect the interface cables.
Connect the Fibre Channel cable.
or...
Connect the SCSI cable (or cables if you installed more than one tape drive) and a terminator (if needed).
Notes: You must install a terminator on the device at the physical end of the SCSI bus. If one of the tape drives in
the library terminates the SCSI bus, you must install the required terminator on one of the tape drive’s
SCSI connectors. If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure that only the device at the
physical end of the bus is terminated.
The library communicates with the host through the SCSI interface of one of the tape drive via the
Automation Drive Interface (ADI) serial interface.
See the tape drive’s Product Manual for tape drive information.

! Important LTO-2, LTO-3, and LTO-4 tape drives require an Ultra 3 or LVD 160 terminator to function
properly on the SCSI bus. An inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues,
including bus hangs and Read/Write failures. See the Product Manual at
www.tandbergdata.com for detailed information.

The library is now ready to resume operation. The new tape drive defaults to the following SCSI IDs:
CONFIRMING THE INSTALLATION
You may want to perform a few load and unload operations and back up several megabytes of data to ensure
that the library and the newly installed tape drive (or tape drives) are communicating correctly.
Download and install the tools from www.tandbergdata.com. The readme file that accompanies the program (or
the online help for the Windows version) provides instructions for using the tools.
For questions regarding software configuration, operation (including how to perform a backup operation), or
installation—contact your software provider.
