Tandberg Data Magnum 448 User manual

2 OF 16
This document explains how to install or replace a tape drive in the Magnum 448 LTO library. 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 freeofconditions thatcould causeelectrostatic discharge(ESD)—Ifpossible,
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
The library accommodates Ultrium 3 (LTO-3) or Ultrium 2 (LTO-2) tape drives in half height (HH) or full height
(FH) configurations. It will NOT accommodate LTO-1 tape drives.
Notes: The Magnum 448 library shipped with either a Rev “A” or a Rev “B” power supply installed. Refer to the
instructions appropriate for your configuration. Rev B power supplies have a Rev B label, as shown in Figure 3.
Most of the illustrations show SCSI configurations. Use the same steps to install Fibre Channel tape drives.
The library accommodates one or two full height tape drives, or one, two, three, or four half height 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.

SERIAL CABLE CONNECTIONS
Notes: Do not switch the internal connectors–the bottom tape drive must be connected to the bottom serial
connector, the second tape drive (both HH and FH) must be connected to the second serial connector, and so
forth. The top two connectors are not used with an FH configuration.
REVISION “B” POWER SUPPLY
Your library shipped with one of these power supplies installed at the factory:
Revision “A” power supply (no label affixed)
Revision “B” power supply (Rev “B” label affixed–see Figure 3 below)
Figure 2 Serial cable routing—full height tape drives
! Important When you add a third (or third and fourth) half height LTO-3 tape drive, you may need to
upgrade your power supply. Contact Technical Support at www.tandbergdata.com for
additional information.
If your power supply has this label affixed, you do NOT need a new power supply to support
the additional tape drives.

INSTALLING ADDITIONAL TAPE DRIVES
To install an additional tape drive (or tape drives), follow these steps:
1. Preparing for replacement—
a. Update library firmware to v. V1D181 or higher (see Important note above).
b. Power off the host.
c. Power off the library (press the 0on the back of the unit).
d. Disconnect the power cord, the SCSI or Fibre Channel cable(s), and the terminator (if one is installed).
e. Remove the tape drive cover plate. Set the plate and the screws aside.
2. Removing the internal cooling plates and disconnecting cables—
! Important You must update your Magnum 448 library to the current firmware (v. V1D181 or
higher) before you install your new drive. The firmware allows the library to
auto-configure the tape drive installation upon power up, eliminating the step of
manually configuring the library after tape drive installation.
If your library code is not updated to v. V1D181 or higher, you will need to contact
Tandberg Data technical support for manual configuration instructions.

a. Remove the two screws (A) holding the tape drive cooling plate (B). Remove the plate, and discard it and
the screws.
b. Disconnect the power cables as needed.
Rev “A” power supply installed (no Rev B label)—disconnect all cables.
Rev “B” power supply installed—disconnect from only the tape drive you are replacing.
3. Installing the tape drive—
a. Locate the serial cable that came in your replacement kit and attach it to the appropriate serial connector
inside the library.
Library serial cable connections—
b. While holding the cables to the side, slide the new tape drive directly into the library, leaving it a short
distance out to access the cables. Use care not to damage the cables.
c. Connect the supplied serial cable and the power cable to the tape drives.

height to full height), follow these steps.
1. Preparing for replacement—
a. Update library firmware to v. V1D181 or higher (see Important note above).
b. Power off the host.
c. Power off the library (press the 0on the back of the unit).

2. Removing the cables, internal cooling plates, and tape drives—
a. Pullthetape drive a short distance outofthe library and disconnect the serial cable. Repeatforallthe tape
drives that you are replacing.
b. Disconnect the power cables as needed.
Rev “A” power supply installed (no Rev B label)—disconnect all cables.
Rev “B” power supply installed—disconnect from only the tape drive (or tape drives) that you are
replacing.
c. Remove the screws (A) holding the tape drive cooling plate (B). Remove the plate, and discard it and the
screws (see Figure 9 on page 8).
d. While holding the cables out of the way, remove the tape drive(s).
e. Disconnect the serial cable from the library. Do not reuse this cable. If you are replacing multiple tape
drives, remove and discard the serial cables from all the tape drives you are replacing.
3. Installing the tape drive—
a. Locate the serial cable that came in your replacement kit and attach it to the appropriate serial connector
inside the library.
While holding the cables to the side, slide the new tape drive directly into the library, leaving it a short
distance out to access the cables. Use care not to damage the cables.
b. Connect the supplied serial cable and the power cable to the tape drives.
Full Height tape drive—
c. Slide the tape drive the remaining distance into the library.

all empty tape drive bays covered. The plates are required for proper cooling.
Caution Be certain to support the tape drive as you remove it from the library. LTO Ultrium tape
drives weigh several pounds each.

RESUMING OPERATION
1. Power the library off (press the 0 on the back of the unit).
2. Connect the interface cables.
Connect the Fibre Channel cable (or cables if you installed more than one Fibre Channel tape drive).
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.

Hewlett Packard — www1.hp.com/storage/tapestorage.html
See Automation/Drive Interface for ADI information: www.T10.org

aThis applies to both SCSI and Fibre Channel library configurations.
! Important The library requires both the SCSI cover plates and the tape drive cover plates for
ESD protection. Do not leave any openings uncovered.
! Important Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 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 individual Product Manuals at
www.tandbergdata.com for detailed information.

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, installation, or operation (including how to perform a backup
operation)—contact your software provider.
