1 Introduction ® About TreeFrog Architecture The Spectra 2K library uses TreeFrog architecture for robotic tape libraries developed by Spectra Logic. TreeFrog architecture can be configured with 15 or 30 cartridge slots and one or two tape drives. In addition, TreeFrog architecture supports SCSI-2 interfaces—both low-voltage differential/single-ended (LVD/SE) and differential. The cornerstones of TreeFrog architecture are the integrated robotic picker and the uni-body robotic chassis. About

Chapter 2. Installing the Library Figure 2-1 Unpacking the library. 1. Remove the cardboard tray from the top of the box. This tray contains the accessories for the library (see Library Accessories on page 13). 2. Remove the top piece of foam protecting the library. 3. Lift the library out of the box. Warning: Take care when lifting the library. It weighs approximately 30 pounds. 4. Remove the plastic overwrap, taking care not to scratch the paint on the library’s exterior. 5. With the libra

Chapter 2. Installing the Library Attaching to the Host Computer Follow this procedure to connect the library as the only unit on a SCSI bus. To attach more than one SCSI device, read Attaching More than One SCSI Device on page 18, as well as the documentation for the other device(s) on the bus. About the SCSI IDs and the SCSI Bus The library communicates with the host computer through a system of cables and connectors called the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). The library uses an e

Chapter 2. Installing the Library 2. The library interface can be identified by its part number sticker, also located on the back panel of the library (Figure 2-4). An LVD/SE library has a W in the position directly following the second hyphen of the part number: 9087####-#-W# The differential library has a D in the position directly following the second hyphen: 9087####-#-D# Part number SCSI interface Figure 2-4 The part number sticker indicates the type of SCSI interface. 15

Chapter 2. Installing the Library LVD/SE SCSI Bus The LVD/SE library operates in either single-ended or low-voltage-differential SCSI mode, depending on the type of bus that is attached. Note: The entire bus (including host bus adapter, devices, and termination) must be LVD to operate in LVD mode. Attaching any single-ended SCSI device to an LVD bus renders the entire bus (and all attached devices) subject to the maximum specification requirements for single-ended SCSI (including maximum

Chapter 2. Installing the Library 5. Determine the correct specifications for the SCSI terminator as described in SCSI Terminator Requirements on page 81. Attach a SCSI terminator to the free SCSI connector on the library, as shown in Figure 2-5. Caution: The SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends or unexpected errors may result. Make sure that the SCSI adapter in the host computer has the appropriate termination enabled. Computer Library SCSI cable SCSI cable Terminator Figure 2-5 Connec

Chapter 2. Installing the Library Changing SCSI IDs as Necessary Note: Do not change the default SCSI ID settings for the library or the drives unless they are set to the same value(s) already in use by other devices on the same SCSI bus or unless required by your software. To change the SCSI IDs: 1. After you have confirmed the need to modify the SCSI IDs of the library and/or the drives, power off the library, the host computer, and any other device on the SCSI bus. 2. Locate the SCSI I
