Installing the Library

Scalar 50 Quick Start Guide Installing the Library Installing a Scalar 50 tape library in a rack consists of the following steps: • Locating the Mounting Position • Installing the Library • Initial Configuration Locating the Mounting Position 0 The Scalar 50 tape library is designed to fit in a standard 19 inch wide rack. It is important to the library installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails and install clip nuts if required (see figure 3). The library must be installed at the beginning of the hole pattern to ensure that the library does not interfere with other devices in the rack. See table 2 for information on common rack hole types. Table 2 Rack Hole Types Figure Description Note: The rails within the rack have a hole pattern that repeats throughout the rail. X marks the screw positions. Install nut clips (included in the accessory kit) on the rails if necessary. Square rack holes are the most common type of rack holes. They can accept either cage nuts which mount from the back of the rail or clip nuts which clip on from the side of the rack rail. Through holes require clip nuts to accept mounting hardware. Threaded holes require neither cage or clip nuts to accept mounting hardware. Cage nut Clip nut Clip nut

Scalar 50 Quick Start Guide After the library reboots, the Setup Wizard is complete. Continue with Testing the Library Configuration on page 39. Multiple Library Stacks Multiple Library Stack Requirements 0 To ensure the proper operation of your multiple library stack, review the following list of multiple library stack requirements: • Multiple library stacks that contain a Scalar 50 can NOT exceed two library cabinets. • The Scalar 50 must be the Master library in a multiple library stack containing PX502 libraries. • The Master library must always be in the bottom most position in the library stack. • If a Scalar 50 is stacked with PX502 libraries, the PX502 can NOT contain an HP LTO- 2 tape drive or a FC1202 Fibre Channel bridge. These devices are not supported by Scalar 50. • All Scalar 50 libraries must have full capacity enabled. • A library that contains SAS drives cannot be shared with SCSI or Fibre Channel libraries. • If your Scalar 50 is not already enabled with full slot capacity, you must initially configure the Scalar 50 libraries and enable Full capacity with a Capacity Key before configuring the cabinets as Master and Slave libraries (see the Scalar 50 User’s Guide PN 81-81768 located on the documentation CD for more Capacity Key information). Preparing the Library for a Multiple Library Stack 0 If the library will be installed in a rack with other Scalar 50 or PX502 libraries, you must prepare each chassis prior to installation. Preparing the library chassis for installation into a multiple library stack consists of: • Removing the FlexLink cover plates • Installing the alignment hardware To prepare the library chassis for multiple stack operation: 1 Remove two Phillips screws securing each FlexLink cover located on the top and bottom of the library using a #1 Phillips screwdriver (see figure 37). Note: If the library is NOT being installed with other libraries to operate in a multiple library stack, it is not necessary to complete the following instructions. Note: Remove the bottom FlexLink cover on every library except the bottom library in the stack. Remove the top FlexLink cover on the bottom library in the stack.
