Internal Components
Figure 2-3 on page 2-9 shows the inside of a Scalar 10K. The
Scalar 10K consists of the following functional units:
• Tape Drives
• Storage Assemblies
• Cartridge Accessor
• Tape Cartridges
• I/E Station
Tape Drives
The Scalar 10K supports the following tape drives:
• IBM LTO-1 LVD - SCSI
• IBM LTO-1 FC Multimode
• IBM LTO-2 LVD - SCSI
• IBM LTO-2 FC Multimode
• IBM LTO-3 FC Multimode
• IBM LTO-4 FC Multimode
• Quantum DLT 8000 LVD - SCSI
• Quantum SDLT 220 LVD - SCSI
• Quantum SDLT 320 LVD-SCSI
• Sony AIT-2 LVD - SCSI
• Sony AIT-3 LVD - SCSI
Drive firmware 0201_CY12 and later supports both
re-writable and Write Once Read Many (WORM)
cartridges. Earlier versions of drive firmware support
only re-writable cartridges.
• IBM Magstar 3590
• IBM 3592-J1A/TS1120
Drive firmware supports both re-writable and Write Once
Read Many (WORM) cartridges.
• IBM TS1120
The Universal Drive Sled (UDS) tape drives are enclosed in a
UDS chassis. The UDS contains control electronics, a cooling
fan, and is equipped with a self-docking connector through
which it receives library power (+5 VDC and +12 VDC) and
signal communications.
For information on drive bay and drive location numbering,
see Figure 6-2 on page 7-14.
