cartridge labels) There may be variations of this list. Note: The FastStor 1 contains no cartridges before shipment. Step 2. Installing the FastStor 1 in a Rack The FastStor 1 is designed for use in a 19” rack system using 1U of rack space. The length of the power cord and the SCSI cable may restrict the placement. Attention: The FastStor 1 is designed to operate in a horizontal position. Do not attempt to operate the FastStor 1 in any other position than horizontally.
Back Rail Right Assembly Rail Left Assembly Front Figure 3.1 Rack Mounting kit Installing the Rack Mounting Kit • Determine the proper position of the rails in the rack. Caution: Consider rack stability when deciding where to place the FastStor 1. Hazardous conditions can result from uneven mechanical loading of a rack. The FastStor 1 uses 1U of vertical rack space. The rails must be installed in a full U position (The bottom of the rails must be aligned with the bottom of a U). See figure 3.2.
Figure 3.2 Rack mount rail Installing the “Rail Left Assembly” 1. Measure the length between the rear rack mount rails and the front rack mount rails. If the measurement is shorter than the FastStor 1, move the two sets of screws M4x12, washers and nuts shown in Figure 3.3. 2. Adjust the “Rail Left Assembly” to fit the measurement in step 1. 3. Use a 7 mm open-end wrench together with the screwdriver to tighten the two M4x12 screws to fix the rail length.
Installing the “Rail Right Assembly” On the right side of the rack, follow the “Rail Left Assembly” instructions, substituting “right” where “left” is referenced. Use these holes if rack depth is equal or longer than the FastStor 1 Rear Rack Mount Rail Step 5 (Screw M6x12) Step 1 Holes to be used if rack depth is shorter than the FastStor 1 Step 1 Step 3 (Screw M4x12, nut and washer) Front Rack Mount Rail Step 2 Step 5 (Screw M6x12) Figure 3.3 Mounting the Rack mounting kit to a rack Figure 3.
Mounting the FastStor 1 to the Rack Make sure all the screws in the Rack Mounting Kit are tightened properly before installing the FastStor 1 in the rack. Slide the FastStor 1 on the rails from the front of the rack, as shown in figure 3.5. Then fix the FastStor 1 using one M6x12 screw in front of the rack on both left and right side (see figure 3.6) and one M5x8 on the backside of the Rack Mounting Kit on both left and right side (see figure 3.7). Figure 3.
Slide the FastStor 1 gently out of the rack. Note that the FastStor 1’s weight is 32 pounds. Step 3. Connecting Power Cable Before connecting the FastStor 1 to your host computer system, you should run the unit’s self-diagnostic test. This preparation requires power to the FastStor 1. Follow these steps to perform this test: 1. Use the power cables from the accessories included in the shipment. Make sure you select the power cord suited for your power system. 2.
Step 4. Removing the Transport Lock Figure 3.9 Magazine lock marked with red plastic tab The robot mechanism is protected from damage during shipment with a screw holding the robotics in a locked position. This locking screw is marked with a red plastic tab protruding between the right magazine and the front panel assembly. This locking screw must be removed before the FastStor 1 can operate normally. The locking screw will be detected when the FastStor 1 is powered on.
procedures for resolving the problem. Step 6. Setting the SCSI Address The SCSI address is a unique address that identifies the unit connected to the SCSI bus. The FastStor 1 uses two SCSI addresses or ID’s. One is for the loader robotics controller, and the other is for the tape drive. The SCSI addresses can be configured through the operator buttons and the display on the front panel. In most cases the default addresses can be used.
2. Secure the cable with the thumbscrews on the connector. 3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the appropriate SCSI adapter on your system, and fasten it with the thumbscrews. 4. If the FastStor 1 is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a SCSI bus terminator to the free SCSI connector on the FastStor 1. Make sure the terminator is of the correct type for your SCSI system. 5. It is possible to daisy chain several SCSI devices on the SCSI bus.
system is started. Step 10. BCR: Labeling cartridges Your loader is equipped with a barcode reader. If you want to use this functionality, you must attach barcode labels to the cartridges. Note: You must use FastStor 1-specific barcode labels to ensure reliable functionality of the barcode reader. Cartridge labels must be oriented on the cartridges as shown in the figure below with the locking mechanism to the left. Figure 3.11 Positioning of barcode label for LTO cartridges.
4 Operation and Configuration The Local User Interface (LUI) consists of a small LCD panel capable of displaying four lines of 20 characters each, and four control buttons, one near each corner of the display. The buttons have soft labels in the corners of the display. The figure below shows the power-on screen on the panel. Figure 4.1 Power-on Screen System Power-On With mechanical installation and electrical connection complete, turn on the AC power switch.
The map of the cartridges has the following symbols: 1. A “?” when status is unknown and Inventory is still running. 2. A number indicates a slot occupied by a cartridge. (Figure 2.3 shows how the cartridge slots are numbered in the magazines.) 3. An underscore line indicates an empty slot. 4. ”C” indicates that a Cleaning Cartridge occupies the slot. The line below the map on the default screen gives the drive status. The drive status displayed is drive dependent.
The Drive Status line (line 3) can show the following statuses: 1 Drive Empty There is no cartridge in the drive. 2 Drive Loaded A cartridge is loaded. 3 Drive Idle A cartridge is loaded and the drive is ready to use it. 4 Drive Rewinding The drive is rewinding the tape 5 Drive Seeking The drive is searching for specific data on the tape. 6 Drive Reading The drive is reading data for transfer to a host via the SCSI interface.
Front Panel Display Modes The front panel displays three types of screens for different purposes: menus, dialogs and messages. Menus The major contributor is the MENU. It is used to select operations to perform by enabling the operator to navigate a menu tree using the control buttons. Due to the size of the display, only one menu item is shown at a time. See Figure 4.4 for a standard menu layout, and Figure 4.5 for a complete menu tree. ▲ EXIT Menu Entry. ▼ SELECT Figure 4.
Figure 4.
Dialogs A dialog is a screen type used to get detailed input from the operator, such as a SCSI ID, name, or password. See Figure 4.6. ▲ Ok Main Dialog text Dialog Entry value 4 ▼ Figure 4.6 Standard Dialog Layout. The dialogs come in several forms, but there are only a few main types. Dialogs, Discrete Values The dialog in Figure 4.7 is used to enter discrete values. It handles one character or digit at a time. The digit or character being manipulated is said to be in focus.
two digits. (The maximum value allowed in this dialog is “255” within each group.) If, however, “2” is selected, only values between “0” and ”5” are available in the second digit. If a value between “0” and “4” is selected for the second digit, “0” to “9” is available for the third, but if “5” is selected for the second digit, only “0” to “5” is available for the third one.
Messages Messages can inform the operator about situations that arise during operation, such as error conditions and situations where a process requires operator approval or intervention to continue. An example of the latter is when the loader detects a wrong magazine type. The loader will eject that magazine and show the message “Left (or right) magazine is the wrong type”. This message is removed by inserting a correct type magazine.
Main Menu The Main menu contains a set of frequently used functions and links to a set of sub menus. Item name Description Load to Drive Loads a cartridge from a selected magazine slot into the drive. When Select is pressed on this menu item, a magazine slot selection dialog is displayed. The operator must scroll to the wanted slot and press Ok to start the operation. The progress of the operation is displayed, and when the loader part of the operation is completed, the main menu is displayed.

current cartridge locations. FW Upgrade Upgrade the loader's firmware by uploading a binary file. The loader must be configured to allow remote firmware upgrade. This configuration is done by using the front panel interface (Menu → Setup → Remote management → Access control → Allow rem. FW.upg.).
6 Maintenance Using the Cleaning Cartridge The cleaning cartridge is similar in size and shape to the regular LTO data cartridge. Place a cleaning cartridge barcode label on the cartridge before using it. Important: This label has a six-digit ID, where the three first digits are “CLN”. A cleaning occurs whenever a cleaning cartridge is loaded into the drive. Before cleaning, you must install the cartridge into the magazine correctly. The cleaning cartridge may be inserted in any magazine slot.
Note: All cleaning cartridges wear out. If the drive does not support expiration detection, the operator must keep track of cleaning cycles manually and discard expired cartridges. Note: Pressing the standby button while the drive is cleaning will not abort the cleaning operation in the drive. However the cleaning cartridge is left loaded in the drive. When the loader is brought out of standby mode, the drive is reset as part of the initialization process.
