If necessary, you can purchase these items from Tandberg Data Corporation (see “Contacting Tandberg Data Corporation” on page iii).
OBTAINING ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Accessories and Equipment Ethernet Cable One Ethernet cable is provided. You can use this cable to connect the library to an Ethernet network for remote monitoring, firmware upgrades, and diagnostics. If you want to provide your own Ethernet cable—use a shielded Category 5 (10/100BaseT connection) data-grade cable or similar Category 5 cable that is compliant with EIA/TIA 568. The library’s Ethernet port connector is a pin-through-hole RJ-45 shielded connector.
CHAPTER 2—INSTALLING THE LIBRARY PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Before installing the library: Make sure that the SCSI host bus adapter card installed in the host computer, any necessary device drivers, and your backup software are compatible with the library. Make certain that an Ultra 160 SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) and any necessary drivers installed in the host computer are compatible with the tape drive(s).
INSTALLING THE LIBRARY IN A R ACK INSTALLING THE LIBRARY IN A RACK The StorageLoader 2U LTO library is designed to be installed in a standard 4-post, 19-inch rack, using 2 units (2U) of rack space. Please read the entire section before you begin. Two-post racks will not support the StorageLoader 2U LTO library.
CHAPTER 2—INSTALLING THE LIBRARY 3. Assemble the left rail using four M5 screws. Keep the screws loose so that you can adjust the length of the assembled rail, if necessary. Left-side rails (viewed from front) Back flange Back section Small back flange (attach the library here in final step) Front section M5 screw (black) Front flange Figure 2-1 Assembling the left-side rail 4.

CONNECTING TO SCSI 3. From the back of the rack, attach the library to the rails by inserting an M3 (the two smaller screws) screw into each of the small flanges. Tighten the screws using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
CHAPTER 2—INSTALLING THE LIBRARY GUIDELINES FOR CONNECTING TO SCSI Keep these guidelines in mind as you plan your SCSI connections: Do not connect to an inadequate host bus adapter. ! Important Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 SCSI tape drives are Ultra 160 SCSI devices and require a minimum Ultra 160 non-RAID SCSI host bus adapter card. Do not connect single-ended SCSI devices.
CONNECTING TO SCSI 2. Power off the host. Power switch (off = 0) Terminate (if needed) 0 SCSI connector Figure 2-6 SCSI connectors 3. Connect a SCSI cable to the host computer and to one of the tape drive SCSI connectors. ! Important Do not over-tighten the SCSI cable jack screws. 4. If the tape drive in the library is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a terminator on the unused SCSI connector.
CHAPTER 2—INSTALLING THE LIBRARY CONNECTING THE LIBRARY TO FIBRE CHANNEL This section provides instructions for connecting the tape drive(s) in the library to a Fibre Channel network. Figure 2-7 shows the back panel of the StorageLoader 2U LTO FC Library. Each tape drive includes one integrated dual LC optical fiber connector, Port A, for connecting the tape drive to a Fibre Channel network.
CONNECTING THE LIBRARY TO ETHERNET CONNECTING THE LIBRARY TO ETHERNET The library’s Remote Management utility (described in Chapter 4) allows you to remotely monitor operations when the library is connected to an Ethernet network. You can also create diagnostic listings and upgrade library firmware. For information about upgrading firmware and creating diagnostic listings, see page 188. To connect the library to Ethernet using the provided cable: 1.
CHAPTER 2—INSTALLING THE LIBRARY 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the network or directly to the server you plan to use to run the library’s Remote Management utility or to upload firmware. See Chapter 7, “Maintenance for information about downloading firmware and performing diagnostics.
POWERING ON THE LIBRARY 2. Connect the female end of the power cord to the power connector on the back of the library. ! Important Two power cords are shipped with the library: One for use in the US and Canada, and one for use in Europe. See page 210 for power cord requirements for other locations. 3. Plug the male end of the power cord into the power source. 4. Push the power switch on the back of the library to the “on” position (press the I). The library performs its power-on sequence.

8 TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter describes problems that you might encounter while operating the library and provides suggestions for resolving the problems. LIBRARY TROUBLESHOOTING This section provides suggestions for solving problems that may occur when you are installing and operating the library. LIBRARY INSTALLATION If the library and backup software are not communicating after installation, check the following: APRIL 2007 ✔ Power.
CHAPTER 8—TROUBLESHOOTING LVD SCSI devices. Because the tape drives installed in the library are LVD (low-voltage differential) devices, all other devices on the SCSI bus should also be LVD. These devices include the controller cards, terminators, and any other devices on the bus. For optimum performance, use an Ultra 160 SCSI host bus adapter.
LIBRARY TROUBLESHOOTING LIBRARY OPERATION If the library has been successfully operating in the past, but is now experiencing problems, check the following: ✔ Control Mode. Make sure that the control mode is set correctly. Random mode (the default)—Only use this mode with an application that controls the library. Sequential mode—Only use this mode if you plan to operate without a backup application.
CHAPTER 8—TROUBLESHOOTING Make sure that the library is not oriented on its side. Make sure that the library has the latest version of firmware installed. Firmware upgrade instructions begin on page 188. If you are unable to resolve the problem, use the Remote Management Utility to obtain a diagnostic log from the library immediately after the error is reported (see “Logs” on page 113).
BACKUP SOFTWARE R EPORTS AN ERROR TAPE DRIVE FAILS WITH SPORADIC ERRORS ✔ Terminator. Check the terminator used on the tape drive. ! Important Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 SCSI tape drives require an Ultra 3 or LVD 160 terminator to function properly on the SCSI bus. An inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues, including bus hangs and Read/Write failures.
CHAPTER 8—TROUBLESHOOTING If you have an Ethernet connection to your library, check the library’s Ethernet connection, described in “Connecting the Library to Ethernet” on page 21. If the ADI interface is not connected properly, it is possible that the tape drive will not communicate on the SCSI bus (see “Installing or Replacing a Tape Drive” on page 163).
BEFORE CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT BACKUP SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION ISSUES If you suspect an issue with the backup software configuration, use LibTool and LTOTool to first confirm that the library and tape drive are working properly. Download and install LibTool and LTO tool from www.tandbergdata.com.
CHAPTER 8—TROUBLESHOOTING TAPE DRIVE INFORMATION Tape drive serial number and firmware level. What is the tape drive’s serial number? What version of firmware is currently loaded in the tape drive? Check www.tandbergdata.com for the latest release of LTO tape drive firmware. Use the operator panel to display information about the tape drive(s). See “Viewing Basic Tape Drive Information” on page 151. If your LTO tape drive is not at the latest firmware level, use LTOTool to update the firmware.
BEFORE CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT Device drivers. Are the appropriate drivers installed for the SCSI host bus adapter? Refer to the installation instructions for your SCSI host bus adapter card. BACKUP APPLICATION INFORMATION Backup application name and version. What backup application are you using? Compatibility. Does your application support the StorageLoader 2U LTO? Refer to the supported hardware devices list from the application provider.
CHAPTER 8—TROUBLESHOOTING ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING If you report a problem to Technical Support, you may be asked to create a diagnostic listing. To create diagnostic listings for: The Library—using the Remote Management Utility See Tools/ “Logs” on page 113. The Tape Drive(s)—using LTOTool LTOTool is available at www.tandbergdata.com. See “LTOTool—Tape Drive Firmware Upgrade” on page 193 for instructions.
