HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader getting started guide (AH163-96009, March 2007)

Using the screws for your rack type and a #3 Phillips
screwdriver, secure the front and the back of each rail to
the rack. The front of the front of the rail is flat and the
back is angled, as shown.
Securing the rails to the rack
7b
Slide the Autoloader onto the rails. Secure the front bezel
to the rack using a #2 Phillips screwdriver placed through
the small holes in the mounting bracket to tighten the
captive screws on each side of the Autoloader.

Planning the parallel SCSI
configuration

If necessary, install software, a host bus adapter (HBA),
and compatible drivers in the host computer.
Ensure that your HBA supports multiple LUNs. For
parallel SCSI devices, verify that multiple LUN support is
enabled for the HBA and operating system.
Check the EBS matrix at http://www.hp.com/support/ebs
to verify that your HBA is supported on your host
computer and qualified with the Library.
Install the HP Library & Tape Tools diagnostic utility
available from http://www.hp.com/support/TapeTools
to see what SCSI devices are connected to the host,
verify the installation, upgrade firmware, and to aid in
troubleshooting.
For SAS Autoloaders: To use the supplied SAS cable,
the HBA must have an external SAS 4x (IB) connector.
HP recommends that the host server be powered down
before attaching new devices.
Go to Step 11b if your Autoloader has a SAS tape drive.
If the Autoloader will be the only parallel SCSI device
connected to the host computer or you will put the
Autoloader on its own bus, skip to Step 11a.
If you are unfamiliar with configuring parallel SCSI
devices, read the parallel SCSI configuration information
in the User and Service Guide on the documentation CD.
Follow these general guidelines:
• The Autoloader has an LVDS SCSI bus. It is NOT
compatible with a standard differential (Diff) or
High-Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI bus.
• The Ultrium 920 is an Ultra320 SCSI device. Only
put one Ultrium 920 device on an Ultra320 SCSI
bus. Putting an Ultrium 920 tape drive on a lower
performance bus will degrade its performance. Do
not connect an Ultrium 920 device to an SE SCSI
bus because it will seriously degrade performance.
• The Ultrium 448 and Ultrium 232 are Ultra160
SCSI devices. Up to two Ultrium 448 or 232 tape
drives can be placed on an Ultra 320 bus. Only
one can be placed on an Ultra 160 or Ultra 2
bus. Ultrium 448 and 232 devices are compatible
with a single-ended SCSI bus, but their
performance will be degraded.
• Avoid putting the Autoloader on the same parallel
SCSI bus as a disk drive or SE device.
• The Autoloader’s default SCSI ID is 4.
