2.2 Operator Panel

2.2

Operator Panel

The operator panel is positioned on the front center of the Base Module. It is possible to perform operations such as referencing/setting the library and drive status and opening the Mailslot from the operator panel. By selecting the buttons on the operator panel, operations such as window transition, function selection, and setup value input can be performed.

■ Status LEDs

Status LEDs are mounted on the front panel. Use these LEDs to check the status of the LT260.

Meaning

Blue when activated. The unit identification (UID) LEDs are controlled by the user through the operator panel and remote panel Maintenance >

UID LED Control screen. The UIDs on the operator panel and back panel

UID are activated and deactivated together. The UIDs are helpful for locating the library in a data center.

Green, steady when power is on, blinking with tape Ready drive or library robotic activity.

Amber when a tape drive cleaning operation is recommended.

Amber if the library has detected a condition for which user attention is necessary, but that the library can still perform most operations.

Amber if an unrecoverable tape drive or library error occurs. A corresponding error message is displayed on the operator panel screen.

User intervention is required; the library is not capable of performing some operations.

2.3 Magazine

2.3

Magazine

Magazines are used to store tape cartridges for saving user data.

Left and right magazines can hold 40 volumes of tape cartridges (30 volumes can be installed in the right cartridge when using the Mailslot).

Each slot number is described in Figure 2.4

.

Use the remote panel or the operator panel to eject magazines.

For the base and expansion cabinets, the LT260 magazines can store up to 70 cartridges when the Mailslot is enabled. If the Mailslot is disabled, up to 80 cartridges can be stored because the Mailslot can be used as a part of the magazine.

A magazine consists of the following mechanisms:

2.4 Mailslot

2.4

Mailslot

The Mailslot is a mechanism through which the operator inserts or ejects tape cartridges when the LT260 is being operated.

The Mailslot can be unmounted when unlocked from the Operation Panel or the Remote Panel. Refer to

"3.3.3

Inserting Tape Cartridges" (page 42)

for details.

A Mailslot has a 10-level shelf to store tape cartridges and up to 10 volumes of tape cartridges can be inserted or ejected at a time.

Mailslots are attached to the right magazines for the base and expansion cabinets.

2.5 Drive Module

2.5

Drive Module

The drive module is a module unit that contains the drive for recording data and external interface. For installation location of drive modules, refer to

"2.8 Tape Drive Unit" (page 27) . When, for example, a drive fails,

maintenance replacement is carried out in units of drive modules. The drive modules can be replaced without stopping the operation (hot swapping). The host interface supports the Fibre Channel (FC) and the Serial

Attached SCSI (SAS).

Do

CAUTION

Malfunction

Do not pull out the drive module. If necessary to pull out a faulty drive module for replacement, contact your maintenance engineer.

2.6 Robot Assembly

2.6

Robot Assembly

The robot assembly is used for transporting a tape cartridge from slot or Mailslot to slot or drive (refer to

"2.4

Mailslot" (page 21) ).

A faulty robot can be replaced or repaired.

Only maintenance engineer should replace or repair a robot.

2.7 Library Controller

2.7

Library Controller

The library controller is located in the rear upper part of each module.

This part hosts the library controller as well as the main management controllers for the system.

The library controller of the Expansion Modules will not provide LAN ports and a USB port.

2.8 Tape Drive Unit

Up to two drive power boards can be mounted for each module. As shown in Figure 2.14

, the right board sup-

plies power to the bottom three half height drives, and the left board supplies power to the top three half height drives.

●

Power supply unit (PSU)

Each PSU receives 100VAC – 240VAC. It converts AC power to DC power for the internal component, such as

Backplane, drive power board and library controller.

Each unit can supply power to all of the drives and the robots module.

The LT260 Base Module is equipped with two PSUs as standard, and can operate using one PSU should the other PSU fail.

The Expansion Module has a power supply unit as standard. To double the power supply unit for the

Expansion Module, add a power supply option.
