Product Overview
Main Power Switch/ Fuse/Power
C
ord
C
onnection
The main power switch
is located
at
t
he rear of the library on the power supply bracket. The power
switch, the fuse holder (with a 250V 2A
f
use) and the AC power cord connection are combined in one
common unit.
SCSI and Fiber Channel Interface Connectors
The library supports both SCSI and FC
drives. The SCSI
tape drive
has two shielded 68
-
pin HD SCSI
connectors on the rear panel and the FC
tape drive
has
one
FC connector. The connectors are used
for connecting the tape drive and the
StorageLibrary
to the host. These connectors can link to the
following:
A shielded male HD68 SCSI cable
A shielded male HD68 SCSI terminator
FC port
cable
Ethernet Port
This port is for
networking in support of the Web Client.
It allows
you to connect the StorageLibrary
to
a 10
BaseT
compatible
Ethernet network.
Ba
ttery Holder
The battery for the real time clock is
located
behind a plate at the rear of the library.
A drive power
extension cable is found in the same location.
Back Panel Cover plate
If a drive
bay
is empty
,
a
cover plate
covers the opening to prevent
dust from entering the library.
Library Features
This section describes several features of the
StorageLibrary
.

Operator

Interfaces

The front panel is located on the front of the library and allows
users
to work locally on the library via
the
Operator
inte
rface
(Front Panel Interface, FPI)
. The
Web Client is a
remote management interface
that
allows
users
to view and perform library functions from remote sites and is accessible through a
browser. The front panel
interface and
the Web Client
contain a simila
r
Operator
interface and
functionality. For more information about the front panel and the
Web Client
interface,
see
Information
about
the
Operator
Interfaces
.

ADI Bridging and LUN

The
StorageLibrary
implements
Automation Drive Interface
(
ADI
)
bridging with
Logical Unit
Numbering (LUN
)
addressing. This means that the library controller does not have its own host
interface, but SCSI commands to the library control
ler are sent via one of the installed tape drives.
The tape drive and the library controller will have a common SCSI ID but different LUN numbers. The
SCSI commands to/from the library controller are sent via the tape drives ADI port.
The purpose of the L
UN interface is to eliminate the requirement for a host interface on the library
controller boa
