Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Unpacking the Library Note: Unpack the library as close to the installation location as possible. 1 Inspect the outer library packaging for damage. If there is any damage evident on the library packaging, do not continue with the installation and contact Quantum customer support. 2 Open the library packing box and remove the kit tray containing the accessory kit and rail kit (see Figure 1).

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide 3 Remove the top foam. 4 Scalar i80 only: Remove the shipping carton by lifting it straight up out of the bottom tray. 5 With the help of a second person, lift the library chassis out of the bottom foam and place it on a table approximately waist high. WARNING: Two people are required to safely lift the library out of its packaging or into a rack. Caution: Lift the library chassis at the sides. Avoid putting the weight of the library chassis on the front bezel.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 9 Once you remove the robot restraint, you may cover the holes in the library top cover with stickers, which are provided in the accessory kit for this purpose. This step is optional and is intended to prevent small objects from accidentally falling into the library through the holes. 10 Remove the protective plastic sheet covering the front panel display.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 4 Tighten the tape drive’s captive thumbscrews finger tight to secure the tape drive to the library chassis. 5 Install a filler plate over any open tape drive slot. If you need more filler plates, contact Quantum. Caution: Filler plates are required to maintain proper library cooling. Do not run the library with uncovered slots. Connecting the Cables Connect the cords and cables as follows (see Figure 5).

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Figure 6 Turning on the Library Power LED Power button When initialization completes, the Setup Wizard screen appears on the operator panel (see Figure 7). The operator panel screen contains a menu bar with operations that correspond to the four physical buttons below it. The menu operations and button functions change with each screen.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide The Setup Date/Time screen appears (see Figure 8). Figure 8 Setup Wizard – Date/Time Screen 4 Do one of the following: • To accept the date and time, press the Accept button. • To change the date or time, press the Change button. The Date field becomes available to edit and the menu bar button designations change. Use the Left and Right buttons to move through the date field, one segment at a time.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 The Setup Network screen appears, listing a default host name (which you cannot change here but you can change later on the Web client) and an IPv4 address assigned by DHCP (see Figure 10). Figure 10 Setup Wizard – Setup Network Screen 5 Do one of the following: • To accept the IP address, press the Accept button. • To change the IP address, press the Change button. Complete the network configuration screens and press Accept when finished.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide 7 Do one of the following: • To accept the settings and go to the next step, press Accept. • To change the settings, press Change. You can only change the settings if you have a new license key to enter. If you have a license key, press Add, then enter the license key using the directional buttons as described in Step on page 10 and press Accept when complete. If you need to add another license key, perform the Change operation again.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 The Setup Wizard is complete (see Figure 13). Figure 13 Setup Wizard Complete 9 Press the Exit button. Accessing the Library Via the Web Client It is recommended that you use the Web client to perform most library functions. The Web client is easier to use than the operator panel, and it presents more information and options than the operator panel does.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide Installing the Latest Firmware 1 Go to http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/ SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SI40/Index.aspx and click the Firmware tab to view a listing of the current version of library firmware. 2 Check your library’s installed firmware version by selecting Reports > About Library from the operator panel or Reports > About > Scalar i40/i80 from the Web client.
PAGE 15
Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 3 Insert a scratch tape cartridge in the top I/E station slot. Make sure the cartridge is properly labeled and right-side-up. Note: All tape cartridges must have a unique, external barcode label that is machine readable. Quantum-supplied barcode labels provide the best results (labels are packaged along with your library).
PAGE 16
Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide To import tape cartridges: 1 Unlock the I/E station. a From the operator panel, press the Actions button, then press the Down button to select I/E, then press Select. b Select Unlock I/E Station and press the Select button. c If the library contains more than one I/E station, select an I/E station and press Unlock. The robot moves to the I/E station and unlocks it. 2 When the operator panel display prompts you, pull out on the magazine door until it stops.

Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Saving the Library Configuration Save the library configuration every time you change the configuration or firmware. From the Web client, select Tools > Save/Restore Configuration > Save System Configuration. Click Apply. Save the file to a known location. Configuring the Host Software Before you can use the library for backup, you need to configure your host application. Refer to your host software documentation for instructions on configuring your host.
