The RW510 and the RW530 are the deskside versions. The RW511 is the horizontal rackmount version. Both the RW510/511 have storage slots for 32, 5.25-inch optical disks for a total storage capacity of 20.8 Gbytes. The RW530 also has 32 storage slots, but a storage capacity of 41.6 Gbytes. Rewritable and write-once optical disks can be used, and they must be 512 bytes per sector format. The main difference between the the RW510 and the RW530 library versions is their storage capacity. The RW530 has approximately twice the storage capacity of the RW510/511. This added capacity is due to a difference in the optical drives contained in the libraries. The RW530 contains a 1.3 Gbyte drive, an enhanced version of the 650 Mbyte drive that is used in the RW510/511 version libraries. The 1.3 Gbyte drive supports the use of 1.2 Gbyte disks as well as the 594 Mbyte disks that are supported for use with 650 Mbyte drives. Other than the added support of 1.2 Gbyte disks, the RW530 libraries are mechanically, electrically, and operationally the same as the RW510/511 libraries, and both versions support the SCSI-2 command set. 1.2 Product Features The RW510/RW511/RW530 Optical Disk Libraries, regardless of their capacity, have the following features and meet the following specifications: · direct online access to data · high reliability and data security when using Digital-supplied rewritable and write-once 5.25-inch optical disks · multifunction capability (write-once and rewritable technologies) Introduction 1-1 · Digital 594-Mbyte rewritable optical disks are Continuous Composite (CC) format, conform to ISO/IEC 10089A; ANSI X3.212-199x and 1.2 Gbyte optical disks meet ECMA 184 standard for CC format. Digital 594-Mbyte write-once disks are Continuous Composite Write-Once format (CCW) and conform to ISO/IEC DIS 11560; ANSI X3.220-199x and 1.2 Gbyte optical disks meet ECMA 184 standard for CCW format. · data security through the ability to "lock" the autochanger (prevent disk removal) · high autochanger reliability through a design that eliminates the motors, cables, and sensors from the delivery mechanism · either single-ended asynchronous SCSI-2 or differential asynchronous SCSI-2 bus interface to the host · autochanger reliability of 1,200,000 MSBF (Mean Swaps Between Failure) · a seven-second average disk exchange time (excluding the drive load/unload sequence) · modular replacement of all major assemblies · full read and write data caching to optimize system performance 1.3 Product Configurations The RW510/RW511/RW530 Optical Disk Libraries have the following product configurations: · An autochanger mechanism that moves disks within the cabinet · 2, 5.25-inch multifunction optical disk drives · 1 mailslot used to insert and remove disks · 32 Storage slots for optical disks · 20.8 Gbytes maximum total storage capacity when all slots are full (based on 512 bytes/sector formatted disks) in a jukebox with 650 Mbyte multifunction drives or 41.6 Gbytes in a jukebox with 1.3 Gbyte drives. · A SCSI Interface (may be either single-ended or differential) ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Each magazine has eight storage slots providing space for 16 optical cartridges. Each slot holds one 594-Mbyte cartridge formatted, 297 Mbytes/side or one 1.2-Gbyte cartridge formatted, 600 Mbytes/side). ------------------------------------------------------------ 1-2 Introduction The RW510/RW511/RW530 is available in either a desk side orientation or a horizontal rackmountable orientation. In addition, the disk library may have either a single-ended or a differential SCSI interface. Explanations of the different product configurations are given below. Refer to Table 1-2 for related product option numbers. 1.3.1 Deskside Configuration (RW510/RW530) The deskside configuration is one autochanger contained in its own cabinet. This cabinet must be removed when servicing the optical library. The control panel display assembly and the front panel assembly accommodate the width ofthe deskside autochanger. 1.3.2 The Horizontal Rackmount Configuration (RW511) The horizontal rackmount configuration enables up to two optical disk libraries to be mounted in a standard 1-meter (19-inch) cabinet. The control panel display assembly and the front panel assembly accomodate the length of the rackmountable autochanger. The Deskside and Rackmount Optical Disk Library Components are listed in Table 1-1. Table 1-1 RW510/RW511/RW530 Deskside and Rackmount Optical Disk Library Components ------------------------------------------------------------ Item Component Description ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Disk Drives The disk library contains two optical disk drives for read/write data transfer. Each drive requires a unique SCSI address. When you face the front panel of the deskside version, drive 1 is located on the right side and drive 2 is on the left. When you face the front panel of the rackmount version, drive 1 is located on the top and drive 2 is on the bottom. (Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2) 2 Magazines The disk library contains four magazines. Each magazine has eight storage slots for a total of 32 optical disk storage slots. 3 Mailslot The mailslot is used to insert and remove optical disks from the disk library system. 4 Front Panel The front panel includes a control panel used to manage and display autochanger functions, and a mailslot to insert and remove disks. Control panel features are described in Section 3.1. (continued on next page) Introduction 1-3 Table 1-1 (Cont.) RW510/RW511/RW530 Deskside and Rackmount Optical Disk Library Components ------------------------------------------------------------ Item Component Description ------------------------------------------------------------ 5 Rear Panel The rear panel includes SCSI, UPS, and power cord connections. Instructions for setting the address select switches are given in Section 3.4. Instructions for connecting a deskside or rackmount version of the autochanger to a host computer are found in Chapter 2. 6 Rails and Carriage The rails and carriage support the picker for its movement within the disk library system. 7 Picker The picker rotates, flips, and transports disks to and from storage slots, drives, and the mailslot. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1-4 Introduction Figure 1-1 Deskside Optical Library Components (RW510/RW530) Introduction 1-5 Figure 1-2 Rackmount Optical Library Components (RW511) 1-6 Introduction 1.3.3 The Optical Drive Mechanism The optical drive mechanism is a multifunction drive and, therefore, operates in both rewritable and write-once modes. The drive uses both rewritable and write-once 5.25-inch magneto-optical disks that comply with ANSI and ISO standards for Continuous Composite format. The drive senses the disk type and automatically operates in either rewritable or write-once mode. The drive has a 3600 rpm rotational speed and can achieve a maximum sustained write transfer rate of 0.5 to 0.8 Mbytes per second and a maximum sustained read transfer rate of 1- to 1.6-Mbyte per second depending on the media and drive capacity. The error rate is less than one block in error per 1 0 14 bytes. Immediate response mode and write caching are used by the drive mechanism to achieve its high write performance. However, if a power failure occurs while write data is in the buffer, the drive may not have enough power to complete the write operation and empty the buffer. Therefore we recommend that an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) be used with battery backup to ensure that no data is lost if a power failure occurs. 1.3.4 Magneto-Optical Disks Magneto-Optical (MO) disks are more durable, more reliable, removable, and cost far less per megabyte than magnetic disks. MO disks are made of the same kind of plastic used in bullet-proof windows. Data can be read through fingerprints and minor scratches. MO disks can withstand x-rays, magnetic interference, and can be dropped from desk height without damage. Magneto-Optical disks store data on a magnetic layer in the form of magnetic flux reversals rather than on a pitted surface used in other optical technologies. Because surfaces of the MO disk are not physically changed, they can be written to and erased repeatedly with no measurable data degradation. Optical disks have an archival life of thirty years based on accelerated life tests for data retention. The disk is mounted in a rigid plastic case with a metal shutter, similar to a 3.5-inch magnetic flexible disk. Each optical disk holds 594-Mbytes or 1.2-Gbytes of data when 512 bytes per sector disks are used. (Check the host system documentation to determine which disk format is supported.) The MO disk has two recording sides. To access the second side, the cartridge must be ejected, turned over, and reinserted into the drive. There are two types of magneto-optical disks: rewritable optical disks and write- once optical disks. (Check the host system documentation to determine which disk type(s) are supported.) The two disk types can be differentiated by the words "rewritable" or "write-once" printed on the disk's metal shutter. Introduction 1-7 For data safety, you can independently write-protect each side of the disk by setting the write-protect tab on the corner of the cartridge. 1.4 SCSI Interface Options The optical disk library connects to the host system through a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI). This interface conforms to SCSI standards ANSI X3.131-SCSI-2. Usually each SCSI-connect peripheral requires one SCSI address. With the disk library, however, there are three unique SCSI interface addresses--one SCSI address for the autochanger controller and one for each drive contained in the disk library. The autochanger controller and the host operating system manage communication through the SCSI bus to each drive's unique SCSI address. Even though the disk library can have either a single-ended or a differential SCSI interface, only single-ended signals are used within the library. The library comes standard with a single-ended interface, and a differential interface is orderable at a later date as an option by distributors. To determine which option is installed, locate the SCSI connectors on the lower rear panel of the optical disk library. If the SCSI connectors are not labeled, the interface is single-ended SCSI; if the connectors are labeled "Differential,"the interface is differential SCSI. Although both interface types use the same SCSI cables, different terminators are required. Also, the allowable external cable lengths differ as follows: · single-ended SCSI interface - up to 6 meters of total cable length is allowed · differential SCSI interface - up to 15 meters of total cable length is allowed 1.4.1 Single-ended SCSI Interface This option specifies a single-ended SCSI repeater PCA. This PCA enables the optical disk library to be connected to an external single-ended SCSI bus and also provides one other function; bus buffering. Bus buffering makes the library's internal SCSI bus length effectively zero and allows the use of the maximum single-ended SCSI external bus length of 6 meters for connection to the host system. (Actual library-to-host distance depends on whether there are any other SCSI devices on this bus). 1-8 Introduction 1.4.2 Differential SCSI Interface This option specifies a differential SCSI repeater PCA. This PCA enables the library to be connected to an external differential SCSI bus. The differential SCSI repeater PCA uses the equivalent of 10 meters of SCSI cable internally, so the allowable external cable length is limited to 15 meters, instead of the 5 meters usually allowed on a differential SCSI bus. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ With either type of SCSI interface, an internal cable length of 1.44 meters must be included in the total cable length calculation. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1.5 Product Matrix The following products are discussed in this manual.

When this device is connected to host systems, the more stringent environmental specifications listed for any single device within the host system are applicable and supersede these specifications. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.2 Operating Temperature/Clearance Requirements The disk library is designed to operate with an ambient air temperature range of 10° to 40°C (50 to 104°F) with a rate of temperature change not to exceed 10°C (50°F) per hour. The area does not have to be air-conditioned but maintaining an operating room temperature between 18°C to 24°C (65°F to 75°F) is recommended. A minimum of 2-3 inches (70-80 mm) should be maintained behind the rear cover of the cabinet to allow air circulation. 2.3 Location Requirements Position the drive away from sources of particulate contamination such as frequently-used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect dust, and smoke-filled rooms. If possible, allow enough room behind the drive for access to the rear panel and for service. Environmental/Installation/PM 2-1 2.4 Primary Power/External Ground The power outlet used to supply AC power to the autochanger must be checked to ensure that the proper voltage (listed in Table 2-1) is available. Table 2-1 Acceptable Voltage/Frequency ------------------------------------------------------------ Voltage (Nominal Range) Frequency (Nominal Range) Voltage (Min/Max Range) Frequency (Min/Max Range) ------------------------------------------------------------ 100-127 50-60 90-132 47-66 200-240 50-60 180-269 47-66 ------------------------------------------------------------ Also check the earth (safety) ground in the power outlet (which uses NEMA 5-15R). Be aware that the electrical load imposed by the autochanger may reduce the available voltage below the non-load value. If the line voltage is not within the correct range, resolve the power problem. 2.5 Unpacking Procedures Unpacking is described in the Unpacking Instructions found on the box for each major component. If any items are missing, contact the factory Order Processing Center with the following information: · original order number or unit serial number · receiving address If the unit is damaged, it will be repaired in all cases. Billing of the charges depends on whether the damage was caused by the carrier or the factory packaging. The cause of the damage will be determined by the field service representative. In order to submit a warranty claim, problems determined to be caused by factory packaging should be reported, in detail, to the factory. Be sure to include the model number and full serial number in any correspondence with Digital concerning the optical disk library. 2.6 Installation Procedures After verifying that the environmental requirements listed earlier in this chapter are met, the product is installed in the following three steps: · Unpacking (by customer)--inspection for damage and moving to final site 2-2 Environmental/Installation/PM · CE Hardware Installation--removing components from the shipping pallet (according to configuration ordered), installing the mechanism into the rack (if rackmount option), and checking address and power configuration · Configuring the disk library for use with a specific host. 2.6.1 Contents of Shipment You should receive a crate containing the RW510/RW511/RW530 Optical Library, and a box, shipped separately, labeled OPEN FIRST. Inside this box are several additional packages containing the following: · READ ME FIRST instructions · Optical Library User 's Guide · SCSI cable · SCSI terminator · Power cord In addition to these items, to complete the installation you may need two wrenches--a 1/2 inch wrench and a 9/16 inch wrench--and a TORX T10, T15, T20, and T25 screwdriver (the blade is star-shaped) as well as wire cutters or a knife. 2.6.2 Installing Optical Library Unit 1. The Optical Library is shipped on a pallet covered by a cardboard box Figure 2-1. Move the crate to its final destination before installing the Optical Library. 2. Use wire cutters or a knife to cut the shipping straps. 3. Lift the cardboard box off of the pallet. A plywood ramp is packed on top; remove it and set it aside. Remove the large foam blocks, and the plastic bag surrounding the Optical Library. Environmental/Installation/PM 2-3 Figure 2-1 Uncrating the Optical Library (RW510/RW530) 4. Locate the small plastic bag containing two large bolts. The bag is stapled to the top of the shipping pallet near the front of the Optical Library. Remove the bolts from the bag. 5. Place the plywood ramp on top of the shipping pallet so that the holes in the ramp line up with the holes in the pallet. Drop the bolts through the holes to secure the ramp to the pallet. 2-4 Environmental/Installation/PM 6. Using a 9/16-inch wrench, remove the eight bolts and four brackets that lock the Optical Library feet to the pallet. 7. Using a 1/2-inch wrench, raise the leveler feet so that the Optical Library is free to move on its casters. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not stand at the bottom of the ramp when you perform step 8. ------------------------------------------------------------ 8. Carefully roll the unit down the ramp. The Optical Library is now uncrated. If possible, save all the shipping materials in case you need to ship the unit to another site, or return it. Environmental/Installation/PM 2-5 2.6.3 Remove the Shipping Bracket Figure 2-2 Removing the Shipping Bracket (Deskside Unit RW510/RW530) 1. Remove the shipping bracket. 2. Remove the top cover of the Optical Library by pulling up on the back edge of the cover. Set the top cover aside. Remove the small foam pads from under the front edge. 3. Locate the two knurled thumbscrews on the top, left-edge of the Optical Library. Unscrew them using your fingers or a screwdriver. They are spring loaded and pop up when they are free. 2-6 Environmental/Installation/PM 4. Once the screws are loose, pull the left side panel out and off, and set it aside. 5. Locate the orange sheet metal bracket on the left side of the Optical Library. Using a TORX T15 screwdriver, remove the screw holding the bracket in place. Remove the bracket by pulling it straight out. Save the screw and bracket with the rest of the packing material. The bracket must be replaced if the machine needs to be shipped to a different location. 6. Replace the side panel by hooking the bottom edge in place first. Slide the top edge back under the thumbscrews. Tighten the thumbscrews by pressing down and turning. Do not replace the top cover just yet. 2.6.4 Attach SCSI Cable, SCSI Terminator, and Power Cord The third step is to attach the SCSI cable, SCSI terminator, and the power cord. See Figure 2-3 and follow these steps: 1. Remove the rear cover by pulling the top edge out away from the machine (Medium units only RW510/RW511/RW530). 2. Locate the SCSI cable and SCSI terminator shipped in the same small box containing the wrench and screwdriver. 3. Locate the two SCSI ports on the rear of the machine. Plug the 50-pin Champ connector end of the SCSI cable into the port nearest the Drive Address Select Switches. The 50-pin Champ end is the one housed in plastic. (The other end is a metal connector with 50 pins and is labeled Honda.) The 50-pin Champ connector is keyed so that it only attaches one way. Lock the wire brackets into the grooves on the sides of the connector. 4. Plug the SCSI terminator into the second SCSI port, the port furthest from the Drive Address Select Switches. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The terminator must remain plugged into the second SCSI port on the back of the Optical Library unless you are connecting two Optical Library systems to your host computer. See Appendix C for instructions on connecting two Optical Library systems. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5. Leave the 50-pin Honda end of the SCSI cable disconnected for now. Instructions for connecting this end to your host computer are provided in your host system documentation. Environmental/Installation/PM 2-7 Figure 2-3 Attaching the SCSI Cable and Power Cord to the Deskside Unit (RW510/RW530) 6. Locate the power cord shipped in the country kit box. Locate the yellow safety sticker covering the power plug on the rear of the Optical Library. Pull the sticker away and plug in the power cord. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet. 7. Before turning on the black power switch, verify that the white operation switch on the front of the Optical Library is off. The operation switch is off when it is in the out position. Turn on the black power switch on the back of the machine, located immediately under the power cord. 2-8 Environmental/Installation/PM 2.6.5 Uninterruptible Power Supply Installation Follow the UPS manufacturer 's directions for connecting a UPS. The information in the following section will be helpful. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Improper connection of the UPS with a communication link to the autochanger may not provide full protection against data loss. To insure proper UPS connection, perform the following steps: 1. Use the BC09D-09 interface cable (HP part number C1708-60x80) to connect the UPS to the autochanger. 2. Run test 75 after connecting a UPS with a communication link to the autochanger. (Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions for running test 75.) ------------------------------------------------------------ If the UPS is connected to the RW510/RW511/RW530, the power requirements shown in Table 2-2 must be met. Table 2-2 UPS Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Volt-Amps Watts ------------------------------------------------------------ 125 Volt-Amps (typical) 75 Watts (typical) 190 Volt-Amps (worst) 110 Watts (worst) ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.7 Hardware Verification The Customer Engineer needs to verify that the optical disk library is fully functional. To do this, the CE powers up the unit, which will invoke the poweron diagnostic. After completion of the poweron diagnostic, the CE should run internal diagnostics and test the autochanger mechanism and drive(s) to verify that all functions of the optical library unit (moves, flips, reads, writes, etc.) are operating correctly. This can be accomplished by executing internal diagnostic tests 2 and 11 through 17 (Chapter 4). Refer to the host configuration guide to complete the installation. Ensure that the library and drive SCSI IDs do not conflict with other addresses on the bus before connecting the host system (Section 3.4). Environmental/Installation/PM 2-9 2.8 Moving the Optical Disk Library 2.8.1 Moving the Optical Disk Library a Short Distance If you simply need to move the disk library system down the hall, to another floor level, or to another building on site, perform the following steps: 1. Unmount (unreserve) any disk surfaces from the host system if necessary. 2. Eject all disks from the autochanger drives. If the disks were not labeled with a storage slot location prior to inserting them into the autochanger, do it now. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Failure to eject the disks from the optical drives prior to transport could result in damage to the drive mechanism. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not switch off the disk library system either from the operation switch or from the power switch (located on the rear panel) until you are sure that the SCSI bus is inactive. Pressing either button when the bus is active can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. Check the host sytem reference manuals for information on checking the status of the SCSI bus. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Switch off the disk library system operation switch (located on the front panel) and the power switch (located on the rear panel). 2. Remove the power cord and SCSI cable connections from the disk library system. 3. Raise the leveler feet (if your disk library system is in a cabinet) using a 1/2-inch wrench. 4. Carefully roll the disk library system to its new destination. 5. Connect the disk library system to the host. 6. Re-connect the power cord. 7. Lower the leveler feet using a 1/2-inch wrench. 8. Configure the disk library system to the host. (Refer to your host system documentation for configuration information.) 2-10 Environmental/Installation/PM 9. Re-insert the optical disks into their correct storage slot locations. (Refer to "Loading Disks" in Chapter 6 of the Optical Disk Library User 's Guide for the procedure for loading disks.) 2.8.2 Moving the Optical Disk Library a Long Distance If you need to move your disk library system a long distance, perform the following steps: 1. Unmount (unreserve) any disk surfaces from the host system if necessary. 2. Eject all disks from the autochanger and, if the disks were not labeled with a storage slot location prior to inserting them into the autochanger, do it now. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Failure to eject the disks from the optical drives prior to moving the transport could result in damage to the drive mechanism. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3.

Remove the shipping bracket. 2. Connect the power cable to the disk library system. 3. Connect the one end of a SCSI cable to the disk library system, and connect the other end to the host system. 2.9 Preventative Maintenance There is no preventive maintenance for the optical disk library, however the optical disks may require cleaning. Cleaning an optical disk is needed more commonly on standalone drives than with autochangers because of the differences in their environments and usage. However, an autochanger may be used in such a way as to make disk cleaning necessary. To determine whether or not disk cleaning is appropriate for your customer 's situation, refer to Section 4.3. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not attempt to clean the optical drive objective lens! Although disk drive cleaning kits are available, they are not approved for use with the RW510/RW511/5RW30 and will damage the optical drive mechanism. ------------------------------------------------------------ Environmental/Installation/PM 2-13 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Product Configuration and Operation 3.1 Front Panel and Control Panel Operations Figure 3-1 shows the Deskside Configuration Front Panel.

Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The message SET # will display. Address is now set. Repeat steps 5-8 until all of the desired addresses have been changed. 9. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until UPDATE or CONFLICT displays. If CONFLICT displays, two or more drives and/or the controller have been set to the same address and must be reset. 3-10 Product Configuration and Operation If UPDATE displays and you are satisfied with the addresses you have selected, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . UPDATED will display. 10. Record the new address setting(s) for future reference. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not remove power to the disk library system until you are sure that the SCSI bus is inactive. Removing power from a SCSI peripheral when the bus is active can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. (Check the host sytem reference manuals for information on checking the status of the SCSI bus.) ------------------------------------------------------------ 11. Push the operation switch (located on the disk library front panel) off and then back on so the new address setting(s) will be recognized by the host system. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Some host systems must be power cycled to recognize the new disk library address settings. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The drive's parity is enabled at the factory. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3.5 Host Configuration Once the disk library is connected to the host system and the device address is set, you are ready to prepare the host system to access the library. To determine if the host you are connecting to supports the optical disk library and for further installation information, check the following documents: · product support plan (available from your local Sales Support Office) · host system documentation Product Configuration and Operation 3-11 3.6 Autochanger Configuration Choices The following table lists the available configurations choices.

This troubleshooting is considered top-level troubleshooting. · Control Panel Error Information Error messages and log information which are available through the control panel display are provided in this section. This intermediate level of troubleshooting is used when "hard" (repeatable) errors are encountered. · Internal Diagnostic Utilities Information about the available internal diagnostics used to aid in the troubleshooting process is discussed in this section. · Error Information through SCSI Commands Error messages and log information available by issuing SCSI commands via an external PC based host computer are discussed in this section. This in-depth level of trouble shooting is used when "soft" (intermittent) errors are encountered. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-1 4.1 Operation/Installation Error Information The following table lists problems that may occur during operation of the optical disk library. If you cannot find a solution to a problem in this section, go to the next section for more in-depth troubleshooting. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ DO NOT CYCLE POWER during any troubleshooting until you are sure the system SCSI bus is INACTIVE and will REMAIN INACTIVE. Removing power while the bus is active can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. Check the host system reference manuals for information on checking the status of the SCSI bus. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Task Problem/Symptom What to do ------------------------------------------------------------ Communicating host < -- > library Can't get the host to recognize the optical disk library. · Make sure the disk library is supported on the host operating system. · Make sure the autochanger was installed and configured as described in Section 3.6. · Check the SCSI connections. · Check the SCSI interface address as it relates to the device files. · Make sure SCSI IDs of unit do not conflict with other SCSI devices on the bus. · Make sure the software license was installed correctly. · Make sure CONFIG 40 is set to DEC mode. See Section 3.3 and Section 3.6 4-2 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics ------------------------------------------------------------ Task Problem/Symptom What to do ------------------------------------------------------------ Changing the drive address Changed drive address but new address is not recognized. After changing an address, the autochanger power and/or the host system power may need to be cycled for the new address to be recognized. (Refer to the host system documentation for information on setting peripheral addresses and shutting down the host system.) Inputting Security Code Security code forgotten or misplaced for the autochanger. First, try the default security code (0-0-0). If the security code is not set to the default, locate the 8-switch dip switch on the controller PCA, and set switch 1 to the "closed" position. Switch on the autochanger. This sets the security code to the default code. Note--Once the default security code is set, the switch must be reset to its original setting. The customer may now use configuration 17 to set a new security code (refer to Section 3.3.1, Setting a Security Code). Loading Disks Disk inserted in mailslot, but the display reads ERROR, EMPTY, or MISLOAD. Remove the disk from the mailslot and try inserting it again. Push the disk in, shutter- end first, so that the disk is flush with the optical disk library front panel. Powering on The optical disk library won't poweron. · Make sure the power cord connections are tight. · Check to see that both the back power switch and the front operation switch are in the ON position. · Make sure the power outlet is operating. · Check the voltage select switch setting. · Replace the fuse with a new one. · Replace the power cord with a known good one. · Replace the power supply module. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Task Problem/Symptom What to do ------------------------------------------------------------ Poweron selftest fails. Turn the unit off, then turn it on again. Observe the poweron test result. If the unit continues to fail, use the error code to begin troubleshooting (refer to Section 4.2, Power-on Self-tests). Does not boot correctly. Ensure that the boot disk is ON, spun up, and ready before applying power to the host computer. The autochanger and the host may then be powered on in any order. Power fail Only the au- tochanger power fails. When power returns, unmount and remount all disk surfaces. Do not eject any disks until the surfaces are unmounted/unreserved. Autochanger power fails while a disk is in the drive. If you need to remove the disk before power can be resupplied to the drive, the eject tool can be used to recover the disk (refer to Section 4.4, Using the Eject Tool to Remove a Disk from the Drive). Host computer power fails and the autochanger stays on. After the host reboots, file system check any write-mounted surfaces. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not eject disks from the autochanger until all mounted surfaces are unmounted. To prevent disks from being removed after a power failure, set config- uration 20 (Poweron Cartridge Security) to "ON." Refer to Section 3.6, Autochanger Configuration Choices and Section 3.1, Front Panel and Control Panel Operations for an explanation of configuration 20 and how it is set. ------------------------------------------------------------ Both the host system and autochanger power fail. After the host reboots, file system check any write-mounted surfaces. Refer to the previous CAUTION note. 4-4 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics ------------------------------------------------------------ Task Problem/Symptom What to do ------------------------------------------------------------ Reading the Front Panel Display Window No display messages appear. · Make sure both the power switch (on the rear panel) and the operation switch (on the front panel) are switched on. · Check that the power cord is connected. · Check AC input. · Check the fuse. · Check the control panel cable connec- tions. · Replace the control panel PCA. · Replace the autochanger controller PCA. · Replace the power supply. Reading/writing magneto-optical disks Can't write to the disk. · Check the file system access permissions. · Check the write-protect tab on each disk side to assure write-enabled status. · Check to make sure the disk was initialized. · Check that the disk file system was mounted correctly. · Refer to Section 4.3, Optical Disk Cleaning. · Check your application software. Removing disks Disk removal attempted, but the storage slot or drive location won't display the option. · Make sure the optical disk surface's file systems have been unmounted. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-5 ------------------------------------------------------------ Task Problem/Symptom What to do ------------------------------------------------------------ Disk removal attempted, but a FULL, MISLOAD or RESERVED message displays. · Remove the disk from the mailslot and try to remove the desired disk again. If a disk is not in the mailslot and MISLOAD still displays, this could indicate a drive failure. · In the case of RESERVED, a security code was set to prevent disk removal. See Table 3-3, number 15. The unit's power failed while a disk was in the drive. · Try powering on the unit. · If poweron is unsuccessful, power the unit off. Do not move the unit. Moving the unit with a disk in the drive risks damaging the magneto-optical mechanism in the MO drive. Refer to the "Powering On" and "Power Fail" sections earlier in this table. · If it is critical that the disk be removed from the drive before power can be restored to the drive, refer to Section 4.4, Using the Eject Tool to Remove a Disk from the Drive. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.2 Power-on Self-tests ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ When the optical disk library is powered on and selftest is run, the SCSI interface and the terminator must both be either connected or disconnected. If the controller senses that the optical drive is not connected to a host system via the SCSI interface, additional selftests are run on the SCSI circuitry. If these tests run while a terminator is attached, voltage levels at the SCSI bus connector are different than expected and a selftest failure results. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-6 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not switch off any peripheral on the SCSI bus without first checking that the bus is not active. Switching off can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. ------------------------------------------------------------ To run the poweron selftest, perform the following steps: 1. Insert a formatted disk into the drive either from a storage slot location or through the mailslot/control panel. 2. Remove power from the optical disk library. Press both the power switch on the back panel and the operation switch on the front panel. 3. Remove the disk library top cover and side panels so that you can observe the LEDs on the front of the optical drive mechanism. Follow the steps in Section 5.4.1, Service Access . 4. Switch on both the rear panel power switch and the front panel operation switch, and wait for the poweron selftest to complete. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ A failure will occur under the following circumstances: · if an UNFORMATTED disk is used during the test · if the host is not powered up and properly terminated · if the host is not connected and the drive is not correctly terminated. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Poweron Selftest will have one of the following results: ------------------------------------------------------------ Indication Description Further Diagnosis ------------------------------------------------------------ The busy and the fault LEDs turn off. No failure has occurred. The fault LED remains lit. A failure had occurred. Connect the offline diagnostic tool to determine failure. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-7 ------------------------------------------------------------ Indication Description Further Diagnosis ------------------------------------------------------------ The LEDs do not light at all, and the disk does not load. There are possible loose power connections. Check all power connections for the drives. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.3 Optical Disk Cleaning ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Cleaning an optical disk is needed more commonly on standalone drives than with autochangers because of the differences in their environments and usage. While the following information is therefore more applicable to standalone drives, an autochanger may be used in such a way as to make the following cleaning information apply. Disk cleaning for libraries in general, however, is NOT RECOMMENDED as a normal user task. ------------------------------------------------------------ Disk cleaning should only be done after a read/write failure or if a customer notices a loss of autochanger performance. In addition, it must be determined that the failure or loss of performance was not caused by a definite hardware failure. A failure to read a disk may result from: · hardware failure · contamination of the disk surface · contamination of the drive objective lens On an otherwise working drive, check to see that the most current firmware code level is being used and/ or that all applicable service notes have been done. If so, contamination could be a cause and cleaning may be necessary. In the case of a read failure, cleaning might be the only way to get the customer 's data back. In the case of performance loss, a few minutes spent cleaning may prevent unnecessary replacement of service parts and present an opportunity to "fix the site" and help the customer prevent contamination in the future. The following are recommendations for preventing contamination of disks and the disk drive: · Place the library away from high traffic areas. · Do not leave a disk in the drive for extended periods of time if possible. 4-8 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics · Do not use the library in "dirty" environments such as coal mines, railroad maintenance yards, etc. 4.3.1 Cleaning Tools Available Disks may be cleaned with the Optical Disk Cleaning Kit (C1700-88800). This kit contains swab s and alcohol, cleaning instructions, and a special cartridge holder that keeps the sliding sleeve open. Refer to Appendix B, Basic Supplies and Reorderable Parts. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ If the problem appeared as loss of performance and cleaning a disk solved the problem, another couple of steps must be done to regain performance using that disk. As performance was declining because of read/write problems, the disk was probably becoming fragmented through excessive "sparing." To regain performance, the data on each side of the disk should be stored, each side of the disk reformatted, and the data restored back on the disk. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not attempt to clean the optical drive objective lens Although disk drive cleaning kits are available, they cannot be used with the RW510/RW511/RW530. Using these kits to clean the drive in these libraries will damage the optical disk mechanism. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.4 Using the Eject Tool to Remove a Disk from the Drive The optical drive mechanism does not automatically eject a disk from the drive if a power failure occurs. If you need to manually remove a disk from a drive with no power, you must use the eject tool. If you do not have an eject tool for the optical drive, you may order one of the following (refer to Appendix B for order information): · Hewlett-Packard part number--C1701-88803 · Marshall Industries part number--R3322 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-9 You may also use a small flat-head screwdriver with the following dimensions: Length 50 mm Width 2.45 mm Thickness .5 mm A disk can be removed from the drive while the drive is still secured in the autochanger. Follow the service access procedures in Section 5.4.1 to access the front of the drive mechanism, and then perform the following steps to remove a disk from the drive: 1. Disconnect all power to the drive if you have not done so already. 2. Insert the eject tool into the small round hole in the front panel of the drive. 3. Turn the eject tool in a clockwise direction (approximately 20 complete rotations) until the disk is ejected through the front of the drive. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not reach into the drive to get the disk. Wait until the disk is ejected through the front of the drive before removing it. Premature removal of the disk could damage the drive. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5 Troubleshooting Using the Control Panel and Observation When there are errors in autochanger movements, two main approaches are available to get information and to run exerciser tests. The approach usually depends on whether the error encountered was a hard error or whether it was a soft (intermittent) error. · Troubleshooting Using the Control Panel and Observation - This method (described in this section) is usually used in situations where you have a hard error. · Troubleshooting Through the SCSI Bus - This method (described in the next section) is used in situations where you have a soft (intermittent) error. Error information and logs accessed through the control panel are summarized. By knowing how the autochanger operates and using the summarized information from the control panel display, there is enough information to troubleshoot many problems that result in a hard error. 4-10 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics Figure 4-1 Information and Tests Through the Control Panel 4.5.1 The Autochanger Lists the First "Possibles" At poweron, and after every failed move, the autochanger automatically runs an initialization sequence that comprehensively tests the autochanger. If a hard failure occurs, a list of possible FRUs that may have been at fault is returned. Keep in mind that these FRUs are not listed in any prioritized manner. The CE should visually verify the failure in progress to determine the most likely candidate. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-11 Figure 4-2 The Autochanger Returns Suspect FRUs ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ This test sequence returns possible failed FRUs only if there has been a HARD FAILURE. The test sequence will NOT find an intermittent failure. This test sequence, called the "FRU Isolation Test" (test 60), can also be run from the control panel. Similar to its automatic operation, this test sequence only points out ("isolates") FRUs if there has been a hard failure. ------------------------------------------------------------ What the Autochanger Assumes-- The FRU Isolation Test assumes the following: · There was a failure. · The cause of the failure was physical (either mechanical or in the electronics). · There is only one failed component. Simultaneous failures of unrelated items are not considered possible for purposes of this test. · Service will be done, if necessary, if a problem is found (i.e., the unit does not have to be left in a "clean" state). 4-12 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics The test takes advantage of this and does whatever is necessary to determine the cause of the failure. Disks are not intentionally rearranged, but if the picker starts this test with a disk in it, the position and orientation of that disk is unknown. When an error occurs, the cause may be the power supply, cables, drive electronics, motors, encoders, belts, gear s, sensors, or picker. No assumption is made about the integrity of any of these components. To isolate the actual cause of the failure, a process of elimination is used. The components are tested in a sequence that starts with the most basic functions and builds to the more complex, and interrelating components (i.e., the motors cannot be tested if the power supply is dead). Whenever the initialization sequence is run, FIND HOME is attempted. If the "home" position cannot be found, the FRU isolation test is run automatically. When the FRU isolation test is run from the control panel, the FIND HOME sequence is run. 4.5.2 How to Use the Results of the Internal Tests Similar to treating symptoms rather than the real problem, the suspect FRUs given by the FRU isolation test may actually mask the root cause of the problem. The hard move error that caused the autochanger to run the FRU isolation test may have only been a PRODUCT of the actual problem. Blindly and repeatedly replacing the suspect FRU(s) will not solve the problem. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-13 Figure 4-3 How Service Views the Suspect FRUs If you consider the suspect FRU as a POINTER to the problem area rather than the problem itself, an educated visual inspection, with perhaps some cable and connector wiggling, should reveal the real problem. A good visual inspection requires an understanding of how the autochanger acts under normal operation. This understanding can be achieved by completing the self-paced training for the autochanger and getting as much hands-on experience as possible. If you are familiar with the moves of the carriage/picker assembly during the FIND HOME sequence and you are familiar with the behavior of the drive, you will be able to more easily detect the real problem pointed to by a suspect FRU. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The specific steps of the FIND HOME sequence and the possible errors which may result are listed in Section 4.10. ------------------------------------------------------------ An example: The autochanger fails with an error code of 4D (hexadecimal), "MOTION ERROR CHECKING FOR CARTRIDGE IN THE PICKER," and lists the picker (FRU 27) as the most likely failure. However, when you observe the unit while running the Wellness Test (test 2), you see that the picker is having trouble flipping. As you manually move the carriage/picker assembly around and touch the components 4-14 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics that are involved, you notice that the picker belt is abnormally tight. The belt is tight because the picker motor is skewed. The error (4D) and suspect FRU gave an AREA to look at when troubleshooting. Visual inspection (concurrent with physical checks) helps to link the suspect FRU with the root cause by providing an area to examine. In the preceding example, the components that INTERACT with, and DRIVE the picker are examined. Section 4.6.1, Hardware Error Codes and Recovery Procedures lists each error code and procedure for finding the cause of the error, using the autochanger 's suspect FRUs as a guide. Error codes and recovery procedures are grouped by functional area in the autochanger. At the BEGINNING of the list of errors for each functional group, you will find general HINTS about what areas should be checked when errors appear in that group. Be sure to check out those hints. 4.5.3 The FRU Isolation Test Sequence The following list traces the execution of the FRU isolation test. A failure requires additional tests at that point to determine the actual cause. The original sequence is not continued if a test fails. 1. Look at the error code generated by the FIND HOME sequence, some codes may have obvious, implied FRUs. (eliminates optical sensors and their cables) 2. Run autochanger controller PCA tests that do not cause host communication loss. (eliminates power supply, power supply cables, ROMs, RAM, motor control IC, and microprocessor) 3. Check that the motors are capable of moving by attempting to move them very small distances in both directions. (eliminates motor assemblies (except belts), motor cables, PCA drivers) 4. Pull picker fingers back. They should come to a hard stop with the leadscrew nut completely at the end of the leadscrew. (eliminates the picker belt) 5. Move carriage/picker assembly toward the drive. It should come to a hard stop. (eliminates the carriage belt) 6. Move carriage/picker assembly away from the drive. The move has to be far enough to be certain that the leadscrew can move, but not so far that a jammed cartridge will cause the test to fail. (eliminates the carriage leadscrew assembly) Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-15 ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ If the FRU isolation test has been run from the front panel, the FIND HOME sequence will automatically be executed at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------ 7. At this point, there is some level of confidence that the system is capable of moving the carriage/picker assembly. Using the new information learned by running these tests, look at the error codes, the move ID that failed, and how the recovery system failed. 4.5.4 Information Logs The optical autochanger control panel diagnostic tests have two major purposes. The first is to provide diagnostic information that can lead to early detection of an autochanger problem. The second is to provide fault isolation tests. All the logs are maintained within non-volatile RAM, and so are not affected by cycling autochanger power. These logs are accessible from the control panel by using the INFO option. Procedure To display information about the autochanger (e.g., the error log or move success log) access the INFO option using the following steps. 1. With the autochanger power on and in the READY state, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . TEST * displays. 2. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until INFO * displays. 3. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . 4. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ PREV ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until the desired log number is displayed. 5. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The log information will be displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Some logs will display more information when ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ PREV ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ is pressed. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ CANCEL ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ to stop the INFO display. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ to choose another log. ------------------------------------------------------------ You have several information selections that are outlined in Section 4.12. 4-16 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4.6 Recovery from Hardware Errors When a hardware failure occurs, a message is displayed on the control panel. If the failure occurs during the poweron sequence, FAIL 1 is displayed. If the failure occurs at some other time, MISLOAD or FAIL 0 is displayed. If a failure occurs while you are running a test, FAIL # is displayed, where # is the number of the test that failed. When you press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , the autochanger displays information about the hardware failure. The autochanger firmware can detect broken components such as a dead motor, a missing belt, etc., but if failures are due to marginal or random problems, the failing component may induce errors in other components. For example, if any portion of the electronics becomes intermittent or if friction increases on a part, different components of the autochanger may appear to fail at varied points as the autochanger runs its code. This results in many different error codes. Additional explanation of some hardware error codes follows the table of hardware error codes and recovery procedures. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions for running internal diagnostic tests are given in the "Diagnostics" section at the end of this chapter. A list of the available test choices and their descriptions are given in Section 4.8. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.6.1 Hardware Error Codes and Recovery Procedures The following table shows the hardware error codes possible and recovery procedures for specific hardware errors. In all cases, if you run a test, and no error occurs, monitor for reoccurrence. If the error repeats, use the list of suspect FRUs logged by the FRU isolation test as a guide to determine the problem. Replace the FRU(s) as necessary. Some error codes require further explanation; see Table 4-1.

All of the RAM on the autochanger controller board has battery back- up, but not all of it needs to be retained upon power loss. The portion of the RAM which needs to be valid at poweron is referred to as "Controlled RAM". The stored checksum is re-calculated on this area every time the "Controlled RAM" is modified. The checksum is verified by Test #32. Error 05H is returned any time the calculated checksum does not match the stored checksum. To reset the checksum, clear Configuration 16 using the control panel and switch the autochanger off and on again. This error is deemed to be so unacceptable that all autochanger function is halted. The motors are turned off and the SCSI bus is not accessed. 09 Firmware error There are three conditions where this code is used: 1. case statement which falls through 2. stack overflow 3. divide by zero In case 1, the error code is returned over SCSI to the host. In cases 2 and 3, the motors shut down, the processor halts. 43-4C Refer to Offline Diagnostics for Hewlett-Packard Optical Storage Products. Refer to Appendix B for order information. 50 Excess upward droop on picker. 51 Excess downward droop on picker. "Droop" is the distance between where the end of a perfectly perpendicular picker (in relationship to the carriage) would be, and where the end of this picker is MEASURED to be. If the picker droops down too far, it will not be able to engage the mailslot correctly. It will first engage the translate pin and move across, rather than out. 52 Excessive cone angle on picker. If the sum of the upward droop on one side of the picker plus the downward droop on the other side of the picker is too great for proper operation, this error is returned. Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-29 ------------------------------------------------------------ Error Codes Explanation ------------------------------------------------------------ 53 Excessive stack tilt. The height of each side of the autochanger, or "stack", is the height of each of the two sensors. Tilt is the measure of the difference of the heights of the sides. If the tilt is too great for proper operation, this error is returned. 54 At power up, unable to complete an interrupted move. If a move was interrupted by a power failure, at the next poweron the autochanger will attempt to return the library to the state it was in before that command was issued. This error is returned if all the poweron tests pass, but the autochanger is unable to put the cartridge(s) back. B8-BF Drive Errors. Errors B8 through BB appear when a drive cannot come to a READY state. Errors BC through BF appear if there is a problem either inserting or ejecting a cartridge. These errors also occur when either the drive eject mechanism has failed or the drive eject-control solenoid will not allow the cartridge to come out and be grabbed by the picker. C8 Unable to close the loops on the motors. When this error occurs, the FRU Isolation code has already confirmed that the motors and encoders appear functional. But, for some reason, the servo system is unable to initiate proper control. This condition is rare. CC Unable to find a hard stop while turning the picker motor. CD Unable to find a hard stop while turning the carriage leadscrew motor. The FRU Isolation code checks for the presence of the belts by turning the motors until the mechanical system hits something. These errors are returned if the motors continue to spin longer than the maximum expected distances. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-30 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4.7 Error Information through SCSI Commands When there are errors in autochanger movements, two main approaches are available to get information and to run exerciser tests. The approach usually depends on whether the error encountered was a hard error or whether it was a soft or intermittent error. · Troubleshooting Using the Control Panel and Observation - This method is usually used in situations where you have a hard error. · Troubleshooting Through the SCSI Bus - This method is used in situations where you have a soft or intermittent error. Using data on the SCSI bus, you can determine exactly what the autochanger was doing when a failure occurred; all the way down to the macro-move and micro-moves. Also, through the Log Sense and Request Sense commands, you can gather information on the optical drives; which cannot be done through the control panel. Refer to Appendix A for information on decoding VMS error logs and SCSI-2 error codes. Figure 4-4 Information and Tests Through the SCSI Bus Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-31 An external utility is needed to read the data on the SCSI bus. Hewlett-Packard offers a diagnostic utility called DOSDASS2 that provides this capability. This utility is not offered to the field. It is available from Hewlett-Packard or Digital CSC. Refer to Appendix B for order information. 4.8 Diagnostics Several diagnostic programs and tests are available for the disk library. This chapter gives information on how to run these tests/programs or where to find this information. The main type of diagnostic available for the disk library are internal diagnostics. These tests are run from the control panel and are divided into four groups: sequence tests, exerciser tests, electronic core tests, and mechanism core tests. These tests are fully explained in Section 4.9. Instruction for running these tests are provided in this chapter. 4.8.1 Offline Diagnostics A diagnostic utility called DOSDASS2 is available from Hewlett-Packard for accessing the optical disk library through the SCSI bus. DOSDASS2 fully exercises either standalone multifunction optical drives or autochangers that contain multifunction optical drives. Information for getting and using DOSDASS2 is found in Appendix B. 4.8.2 Internal Diagnostic Tests An extensive set of internal diagnostic tests is available for the autochanger. Except for the poweron sequence test, the running of tests is not automatic. The operator may initiate each test from the control panel. A test is actually a sequence of separate tests that are called and run in series. Each test exercises a specific portion of the autochanger. Each test is identified by a test number that is requested when the test is to be run. Tests return either PASS or FAIL. All the tests are combined into groups of similar functions. Sequence Tests (1 - 9) execute sequences of individual tests within the range of test 10 through test 69. Sequences may be used to either test many portions of the autochanger or as an autochanger exerciser. When a sequence test is selected, the autochanger executes the test s in sequence until an error occurs or until the sequence successfully completes. Exerciser Tests (10 - 29) do simple autochanger mechanism moves to check out elementary functions. 4-32 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics Electronics Core Tests (30 - 49) run basic tests of the autochanger controller PCA. Autochanger Mechanism Core Tests (50 - 75) run basic tests of the autochanger mechanism. These tests make combinations of moves that can help to detect the source of failures. Instructions for running these tests are given in the following section. A complete listing of diagnostic tests can be found in Section 4.9. Procedure for Running Tests 1.

Sequence Order: 3 - Controller Test 40 - Power Supply Test - Motor Connection Test (no number) 5 - Initialize Mechanism 46 - Board Configuration - Restore (if needed). If power failed in the middle of a move, the autochanger tries a "restore" of the last move. The autochanger tries to put the cartridge back to where it came from. This attempt could fail (Poweron sequence would fail). POWERON ONLY. 10 - Initialize Element Status (if needed). 38 - "Light Show" in the indicators of the control panel. - Mailslot rotation (if not secured).

This exerciser is a sequence of other exerciser tests--12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. This exerciser returns an error code #57H Invalid Configuration if there are no cartridges loaded into the unit, or if any drive is full. Needs one loaded cartridge. 12 Carriage/Picker Move Test Moves the carriage/picker assembly the full length of the rails with the picker on first one side, then the other. Returns PASS/FAIL. No cartridges are required. 13 Translate Test Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It does several translations from various starting positions. No cartridges are required. 14 Flip Test Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It does several flips at various locations. No cartridges are required. 15 Storage Slot Test Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It moves a cartridge from a randomly-chosen full to a randomly-chosen empty slot, with a random flip. It then moves the cartridge back to its original storage slot with its original orientation. This exerciser returns an error code 57H, Invalid Configuration, if there are no cartridges loaded into the unit or if all storage slots are full. Needs one loaded cartridge. 16 Drive I/O Test Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It moves a cartridge from a randomly-chosen full slot to a drive, with a random flip. It then moves the cartridge back to its original slot with its original orientation. It does this once for each optical drive. Returns an error code 57H, Invalid Configuration, if there are no cartridges loaded into the unit or if any drive is loaded. Needs one loaded cartridge; drives must be empty.

Exerciser Tests ------------------------------------------------------------ No. Test Name Description ------------------------------------------------------------ 17 Mailslot I/O Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It moves a cartridge from the lowest-numbered full slot to the mailslot with a random flip. It then moves the cartridge back to its original slot with its original orientation. Returns error code 57H, Invalid Configuration if there are no cartridges loaded into the unit or if the mailslot is full. Needs one loaded cartridge; mailslot must be empty. 18 Speed Factor Setting Utility Allows the setting of the speed factor as the first parameter given. The speed factor determines how fast the system moves the mechanics. The number provides 1/Parameter speed (e.g., Parameter=3 runs the motors at 1/3 of full speed). This test can only be run from the SCSI Interface. 19 Zero Maximum Force Log The maximum force log is initialized to all zeros. 20 Set Speed Factor to Full Speed Allows the mechanics to be run at full speed. 21 Set Speed Factor to Half Speed Allows the mechanics to be run at half speed. 22 Set Speed Factor to Quarter Speed Allows the mechanics to be run at quarter speed. 23 Shipping Moves the picker to the appropriate position for preparation for shipping. 24 Fill Picker Moves a cartridge into the picker from the first storage slot. 25 Empty Picker Moves a cartridge from the picker to the first empty storage slot. 26 Zero Runtime Log The entire runtime log is initialized to all zeros. 27 Set Minimum Retries This sets the number of retries to 1. This may be set to see if the chosen test is doing what you want it to do. After you are satisfied that the test is what you want, run test 28 which resets the number of retries to default values. 28 Set to Default Number of Retries Resets the number of retries to powerup default values. Used after setting retries to 1 by test 27. 29 Zero Error Log Zeroes the Error Log. ------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-37 4.9.1 Electronic Core Tests Table 4-4 Electronic Core Tests ------------------------------------------------------------ No. Test Name Description ------------------------------------------------------------ 30 Microprocessor Operation Test Does a functional check of the microprocessor. This test must shut down the servo system; a Initialize Mechanism Test is run when this test finishes. 31 ROM Checksum Test Does a checksum verification of the ROM. 32 RAM Checksum Test A checksum of the "Controlled" area of RAM is kept on a continuous basis. This test verifies that the checksum is still valid. 33 Non-Destructive RAM Test Tests all the controller 's RAM, checking for data acceptance and retention. The test is non-destructive to RAM unless interrupted by power failure. To run correctly, this test must shut down the servo system; as a result, a Initialize Mechanism Test runs when this test finishes. 34 SCSI Interface Controller Chip Test Checks out operations of the SCSI interface controller chip. This test will not be run if initiated via SCSI, it reports PASS. 35 Multi-Function Peripheral Chip Test Tests the functionality of the Multi-Function Peripheral chip. It verifies the timer by comparing it to he CPU clock and tests RS-232 capabilities with an on-chip loopback. 36 Motor Control Chip Test Exercises the registers of the motor control IC. To run correctly, this test shuts down the servo system. 37 Drive Connect Test Checks for expected drive configuration. This is done by polling the drive connect signal on each of the possible drives. This line is grounded at the drive end if a drive is connected. If the drives physically connected do not match the expected configuration, then an error is reported. 38 Control Panel Light Show Lights each portion of the display individually and then together. No feedback; always passes. 39 Control Panel Button Check Displays the name of the button pressed.

The limits for the 12V supply are 11V and 13V and the 24V supply limits are 23.5V and 25.5V. 41 SCSI Connector Loopback Test (interactive) Runs a loopback through SCSI connectors, checking proper operation of the SCSI drivers, receivers, and cables. Requires an external loopback hood with terminator power. Will not run if initiated via SCSI; if so, it reports error FCH Test Did Not Run. 42 Optical Sensor Test (and Mailslot) (interactive) Checks the status of the two optical sensors. Also checks the status of the Mailslot sensor (see test 43). Three "0"s are placed on the control panel display; one at the left position in the display, one in the middle of the display, and one at the right position in the display. The mark is an open zero if the sensor is not blocked, and a zero filled in with lit segments if a sensor is blocked. No FRU is returned. 43 Mailslot Sensor Test (and Optical Sensor) (interactive) See description for test 42. 50 Find Home Sequence Moves the picker to a known "home" spot. This test assumes nothing about the state of the mechanics. The "home" location is at the lower left position of the box. The servo system is initialized to the "home" location. It then automatically runs test 51. 51 Carriage /Picker Assembly Calibration Test Runs the portion of the mechanism recalibration related to the optical sensors. It measures sensor offsets and calculates picker tilt and droop. This test assumes that the mechanics and servo system are functional. 60 FRU Isolation Test Assumes that something has physically failed, either electronic or mechanical. A series of special low level tests are run to select the three (or fewer) FRUs that are most likely to be at fault. Tests 30, 31, 33, 35, 36, 40, and 50 are executed as a part of the isolation process. Returns an error code, three suspect FRUs in decreasing order of fault probability, and a time stamp.

Electronic Core Tests ------------------------------------------------------------ No. Test Name Description ------------------------------------------------------------ 65 Calibrate Magazines Calculates a min/max clearance for a magazine. (The selected magazine should be empty.) The autochanger requires a disk in the mailslot. The test passes if clearance is 85 encoder counts (1 mm) up and down. (See info 23 for actual values.) If this test is run by SCSI command, set Byte 1 to the magazine number. (Models 10C and 20T contain 2 magazines; Models 20C and 40T contain 4 magazines.) The test returns: PASS or FAIL. 66 Clear Magazine Offset Clears the value calculated in test 65. 67 Calibrate Mailslot Calculates an offset for the Mailslot. The Autochanger requires a disk in the Mailslot. 68 Clear Mailslot Offset Clears the value calculated in test 67. 70 - 74 Reserved For design/production use only. 75 UPS Test Tests whether or not the UPS is connected properly. The test returns PASS if connected properly, FAIL if the UPS is not connected properly or if there is no UPS connected. 76 - 80 Reserved For design/production use only. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-40 Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4.10 The FIND HOME Sequence The following FIND HOME sequence executes all the motions used in normal autochanger operation. Understanding the motions explained here, and the likely errors during these motions, should help you diagnose problems that may be occurring in the unit you are working on. The following sequence lists each large movement in the FIND HOME sequence. If there is a problem during a movement, the most likely hardware error is listed after the movement in decending order of probability. Hardware error numbers and recovery procedures are listed in Table 4-1. Figure 4-5 shows the sequence graphically. The numbers of the following steps correspond to the numbers on the diagram. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ When running the FIND HOME sequence, you will be able to see what the mechanism was attempting when an error occurred by setting RETRIES to 1 (Test 27). When limited to a single execution, the autochanger is prevented from entering any error recovery sequences. If you want to examine movements more closely, set the speed to half or quarter speed (Test 21 or Test 22). Possible errors are not accessable or displayed through the control panel. Errors returned are micro-move errors. Micro-move errors are explaned in Section 6.1.1. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Errors are expressed in hexadecimal format. ------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting/Diagnostics 4-41 1.

The servicing of components is organized as follows: · power supply · autochanger controller PCA · SCSI repeater PCA · autochanger controller PCA code · MO drive code · MO dirves · carriage/picker assembly · carriage motor · carriage leadscrew · picker motor · leadscrew-side carriage way (rail) · mailslot assembly · power supply fan · interconnect PCA Removal and Replacement 5-1 5.2 ESD Precautions The optical disk library contains very sensitive electrical components. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you follow the proper procedures for preventing ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). Use wrist-grounding straps, anti-static mats, and anti-static work stations when removing and replacing the major assemblies. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Failure to follow proper procedures could lead to intermittent failures and/or premature hard failures in the disk controller and mechanism. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5.3 Tools Required - #7, #10, #15, Torx®; - #2 Pozidriv with at least a 10-inch shank (picker removal) - Medium slot-blade screwdriver - 3/16- and 7/64-inch Allen wrenches - 7/16-inch socket or box-end wrench (or crescent wrench) ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The deskside option orientation is used in most explanations of disassembly and re-assembly. If access or parts are different between the deskside and rackmount options, these differences are noted. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5-2 Removal and Replacement 5.4 Assembly/Disassembly Procedures ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ Be sure to disconnect the power cord before taking the disk library apart to prevent possible electrical shock. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not press the optical disk library operation switch to standby or unplug the AC power cord until you are sure that the SCSI bus is inactive. Either selecting standby mode on the operation switch or unplugging the power cord when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. (Check the host system reference manuals for information on checking the status of the SCSI bus.) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ If you will be working on or around the disk magazines, record the slot location and orientation of each cartridge to make sure that the disks can be restored to their original positions if moved. Always return disks to their original slot and orientation before returning control back to the customer. Serious loss of system integrity will result if this practice is not followed. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5.4.1 Service Access Keep the following information in mind when servicing an optical disk library system. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ The magneto-optical drive mechanisms in the autochanger become Class 3B laser mechanisms when disassembled. If a drive is disassembled, exposure to the invisible laser beam and hazardous invisible laser radiation could result in blindness. ------------------------------------------------------------ Removal and Replacement 5-3 ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ DO NOT disassemble the drive mechanisms.

When a SCSI command is received, it is translated into a series of smaller submoves in the servo code of the autochanger and executed. Theory of Operation 6-1 Figure 6-1 SCSI Command Translation for Autochanger Operation Examples of high-level commands are: · Move/Exchange--move a cartridge from element A to element B. · Seek--position the transport at a target element · Test--test for the presence of a cartridge at a target element · Actuate mailslot--rotate the mailslot assembly to perform I/O with the user The commands are translated into a series of moves which are basic autochanger functions. These submoves are called macro-moves. In this library the macro- moves are as follows. · move carriage--position the picker transport to a position along the rails. · flip--rotate the picker · cartridge I/O--plunge and retrieve the picker finger assembly to move cartridges between the picker and magazines, drives, or the mailslot. · rotate mailslot--plunge and retrieve the picker finger assembly/leadscrew nut to rotate the mailslot assembly toward and away from the user. For example. "Move element 11 to element 2 with flip" is transformed into the following sequence of autochanger functions. 1. Determine that element 11 is a storage slot and element 2 is a drive. 6-2 Theory of Operation 2. Move the picker to the front of the storage element. 3. Get the cartridge from the storage element. 4. Do a flip. 5. Move the picker to the front of the disk insertion slot on the drive element. 6. Put the cartridge into the drive element. The basic autochanger functions (macro-moves) are then divided into a series of smaller movements called "micro-moves." There are two types of micro-moves: · position move--move the driving motors a given distance at peak speed · saturation move--same as a position move except that motion is halted if force exceeds a specified threshold. Position moves are used for high-speed, unobstructed movements of a known distance. Saturation moves are used in low-speed, adaptive movements of variable distance. Macro-moves consists of one or more combinations of position or saturation type micro-moves. Each macro-move has a tailored set of these submoves to insure that the macro-move will be gentle. As a macro-move is executed, servo gains are adjusted to allow for changes in load characteristics. An example of the process for a flip is as follows. 1. Move picker finger assembly backwards a fixed distance to engage the flip lock. 2. Change the gain to prepare for upcoming flip. 3. Move the picker finger assembly backwards a fixed distance to trip the mechanism and start the flip. 4. Make sure the flip is completed by doing a saturate on the picker motor until the force exceeds a fixed threshold. 5. Change the gain to prepare for picker finger assembly movement. 6. Move the picker finger assembly forward to relieve the force. Each micro-move within a specific macro-move has a unique set of stability, performance, error recovery, force, and reliability criteria. Therefore, each micro- move is assigned a unique identification code (ID) which is used to determine how the move should be performed. Before a micro-move is executed, its ID is used to fetch acceleration, velocity and force limits to use. If the move fails, its ID determines the type of error recovery scheme to employ. This tailored technique provides gentle, stable control of the mechanism, resulting in increased reliability. Theory of Operation 6-3 6.2 The Autochanger Mechanism The mechanics consist of the following major assemblies: · carriage assembly · picker assembly (mounted to the carriage assembly) · mailslot (disk loading and ejecting assembly) · carriage motor and carriage leadscrew · picker motor The carriage/picker assembly is the heart of the mechanism. This assembly positions disks in front of storage slots, drives, and the mailslot. The picker inserts, removes, and flips disks. It also activates the mailslot mechanism. The carriage has a slot at both ends of a rail that spans the carriage. When the picker is translated to either end, a latch on the picker can enter the slot. When latched at either of these two positions, the picker may be flipped. The picker may be translated from one side of the carriage to the other when the translate roller contacts the translate bar mounted across either end of the chassis. The disk insertion slot, referred to as the mailslot, accepts a disk (inserted shutter-end-first) and rotates the disk 180 degrees. This allows the picker to grasp the rear of the disk and insert the disk shutter-end into a drive or storage slot. The carriage motor rotates the carriage leadscrew, driving the carriage. The motor also monitors the amount of movement with a built-in encoder wheel. The picker motor provides drive to translate and flip the picker. Power is transferred from the picker motor to the picker assembly by a toothed belt. 6.3 The Controller PCA The autochanger controller PCA contains the following major components: · Microprocessor · Motor Control Chip (MCC) (interface from digital-to-analog pulse width modulation) · SPIFI Chip (SCSI bus control) · ROM · RAM 6-4 Theory of Operation · Pulse Width Modulation Amplifier · Front Panel Control and Filament Drive · SCSI Interface · Multi-function Peripheral Chip Figure 6-2 Autochanger Controller PCA Block Diagram The microprocessor is a Motorola 68000 running at 12 MHz. This microprocessor controls all processes on the controller PCA such as servos, SCSI interface, and commands to the control panel. Associated with the microprocessor is clocking circuitry, battery-backed-up RAM, decoding logic, and ROM. Theory of Operation 6-5 The MCC is the interface between the 68000 processor and the servo system. The MCC reads the position encoders via Schmitt triggers and uses that information to increment or decrement counters on the chip. The MCC also provides pulse width modulation (PWM) output signals to drive the motor circuitry. The SPIFI chip handles the SCSI protocol of the SCSI interface. ROM. The controller firmware resides in two 128K X 8, 170 ns EEPROMs. RAM. The two RAM chips are special, low-power CMOS static RAMs. A standby battery on the PCA takes over powering these chips if main power is lost. The chips remain in standby mode, providing a non-volatile memory storage capability on the PCA. The pulse width modulation (PWM) amplifier takes the signals from the MCC and changes them into voltages for the picker motor (Z on Figure 6-2) and carriage motor ( Y on Figure 6-2). Motor speed control is by feedback from the picker and carriage motors through Z and Y encoders back to the MCC. The vacuum filament display uses a 7.5-volt supply tied to a 5-volt reference resulting in an exitation voltage of from two to three volts. The grids of the display are at approximately 20 volts. The SCSI interface is basically the SPIFI chip and its associated transceiver. All SCSI protocol is handled by the SPIFI under control of the main 68000 processor. The bus transceiver provides the necessary drive to operate the bus properly. The multifunction peripheral chip controls interrupts, RS-232 functions, and certain timers throughout the controller PCA. The servo, I/O, and sensors circuitry handle the servo communications (e.g. shutdown control), I/O communications (e.g. drive eject and drive busy), and sensor communications (e.g. mailslot sensor and vertical calibration sensor). 6.4 The Power Supply Module The power supply module consists of an AC PCA and a DC PCA in a distributed power architecture. 6-6 Theory of Operation Figure 6-3 Overall Diagram of the Power Supply 6.4.1 The AC PCA The AC PCA · takes the LINE and NEUTRAL from the site power · rectifies the AC to DC · produces a 300 VDC (nominal) crudely-regulated output bus. · produces an ENABLE signal The line filter (not shown) - filters some transients and conducted interference noise. This filter is in a box mounted on the top of the power supply cage. This filter also provides a plug for the line input. The EM/line spike filter block passes the primary and neutral inputs while attenuating noise that the power supply tries to conduct back to the line. The circuit also filters line transients such as high voltage noise, lightning, etc. This filter, in combination with the line filter, enables the power supply to withstand 6 KV spikes. Theory of Operation 6-7 Figure 6-4 The AC PCA in the Power Supply The bridge rectifier block takes the sinusoidal ac signal and turns it into pulsating dc voltage. This dc voltage is stored in the bulk filtering capacitors at a nominal value of 300 VDC. The autoranging switch is a hybrid chip that senses the voltage across the primary. If the voltage is below 145 Vac, the neutral line is connected to the middle of the two bulk filtering capacitors. That, in effect, makes the bridge rectifier/capacitor combination a voltage doubler; enabling a 300-volt output from 120-volt AC input. If the chip senses more than 145 VAC, the autoranging switch stays out of the circuit and the bridge rectifier passes its output to the bulk DC supply. This switch supplies the function of a 120/240 switch, automatically correcting for any input. The on/off and limits block works in parallel with the bulk DC block on the 300 VDC bus. The circuitry here senses the DC voltage on the bus and turns the power modules on the DC PCA on or off according to the operating range needs of the modules. 6-8 Theory of Operation The DC power modules must have between 200 and 400 volts to operate without damage. While the DC bus is powering up, the limits block keeps the DC power modules off until the voltage level reaches 200. If a surge increases the voltage level to above 400 volts, the DC power modules are turned off to prevent them from being damaged. The DC power modules may also be turned on or off through the operation switch and the auxiliary supply circuit. The operation switch is a "Safe Extra-Low Voltage" (SELV) switch on the operator 's control panel. In previous products, this switch on the control panel cut primary power, but this switch in the Models 60/100 is on the secondary side, isolated from line potentials through the auxiliary supply block. Placing this switch to on supplies the enable signal to the DC power modules. The operation switch, in combination with the auxiliary power supply and on/off /limits circuitry, allows the DC power modules to operate if all of the following conditions are met: · the power switch is ON · the operation switch is on · the on/off and limits circuitry senses more than 200 volts on the bulk DC bus · the on/off and limits circuitry senses less than 400 volts on the bulk DC bus. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Hazardous primary voltages are always present on the AC PCA as long as the unit is plugged in and the power switch is ON. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6.4.2 The DC PCA The DC PCA receives the 300-volt bulk DC input from the AC PCA and converts this to regulated outputs of +5, +12, and +24 volts if the enable signal is present. Some of the +5 VDC that is generated is fed into a chip that further converts this to +9.5 VDC. This voltage is used to bias some op amps. Theory of Operation 6-9 Figure 6-5 The DC PCA in the Power Supply The power valid block looks at the +5 V and +12 V outputs. When these outputs rise to operating range (~4.5 V and ~11 V), this circuit triggers a power-on reset. The reverse current shunt block absorbs any reverse current generated by the autochanger motors as they slow down. 6-10 Theory of Operation 6.4.3 Power Supply Specifications Table 6-1 Input Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Range ------------------------------------------------------------ Input Voltage 100 to 240 VAC RMS Input frequency 47 to 66 Hertz Input current < 6 amperes AC RMS Input power < 300 W Inrush current < 40.0 amperes peakat cold start Input fusing on PCA Power factor 0.6 Line surge Steps from 129 to 150 VAC for 500 milliseconds with no failure (including fuse) Line sag Steps from 108 to 80 VAC for 500 milliseconds with no failure (including fuse) Line brownout and recovery a.

This interface consists of both the electrical signals and the firmware which decodes the various commands and messages on the SCSI bus and instructs the drive to take appropriate action. 6.5.1.2 Data Buffer The data buffer and associated control electronics provide a buffer to speed match transfers to and from the host computer and the optical disk. The data buffer provides a cache for read and write operations, optimizing the speed of these transfers. The RW510/RW511 data buffer contains 256-Kbytes of buffer RAM; the RW530 data buffer contains 512-Kbytes of buffer RAM. 6.5.1.3 Formatter/Sequencer The formatter/sequencer function formats and decodes data for read and write transfers. During a write function user data is sent via the SCSI bus as bytes (8 bits each). The formatter converts these 8 bits of parallel data into an encoded serial bit stream that includes all the format and error correction features required to meet the ANSI and ISO specifications. During reads, the decoder converts the serial data stream, which includes format and error correction features, into parallel data. 6.5.2 Servo PCA The servo PCA includes a digital signal processor (DSP) that controls the actions of the many servo loops that interact with the optical head and the loader assembly. 6.5.2.1 DSP Microprocessor and Support/Servo Control Loops Most of the electronics on the servo PCA are analog circuitry. This circuitry is designed into the control loops of the following servos: spindle motor/speed, laser power control, track following, seek/position maintenance, focus actuation, fine position actuation, and coarse position actuation. Whenever the drive is performing a read or write operation, all these servos are activated. Also on the servo PCA are control electronics for the loader assembly. Included are drivers for the loader and spindle (speed control) motors, sensor circuitry for the cartridge loaded and write protect detectors, LED drivers for the front Theory of Operation 6-13 panel LEDs, and control circuitry for the bias magnet subassembly of the loader mechanism. 6.5.2.2 Read and Write Channel Electronics Read channel electronics take analog data from the optical head and convert it into digital "transitions." These transitions are decoded by the decoder electronics on the controller PCA in order to extract data from format and error correction features. The write channel electronics take the serial data stream from the formatter/sequencer and convert the digital pulses into analog data. This analog data is then sent to the optical head. 6.5.3 Mechanism Assembly 6.5.3.1 Loader Mechanism The loader mechanism consists of two motors: a spindle motor for speed control and a loader motor for loading and unloading of the cartridge. The loader motor includes a gear train and rack-and-pinion system that allow the cartridge shuttle to raise and lower the cartridge within the loader housing. The bias magnet subassembly sits on top of the cartridge shuttle and provides the correct polarity for erasing or writing data. 6.5.3.2 Optical Head A major feature of the optical head is a "split optics" design. This design physically separates the laser diode and its associated detectors from the focus /fine position actuators. This design results in a significant seek time performance advantage due to less mass on the moving portion of the optical head. There are several actuators in the optical head. The coarse position actuator moves the focus/fine position actuators to the vicinity of the desired sector on the optical disk. The fine actuator makes small corrections (+/- 25 tracks) to center the optical head on the desired sector. The focus actuator then moves up and down to provide optimal focus on the light beam. All these actuators, and the laser diode (and its detectors) are controlled by the servo PCA. The laser diode and its associated detectors are part of a flex circuit on the optical head assembly. On this flex circuit are analog electronics which further condition the control signals for the laser diode, and pre-amplifiers for the servo and data control signals that are returned to the servo PCA. 6-14 Theory of Operation 6.6 Optical Disk Layout and Error Correction 6.6.1 Disk Formats Two optical disk formats are available. The RW510/511 optical drive can read from and write to 650-Mbyte optical disks. The RW530 optical drive can read from and write to both 650-Mbyte and 1.3-Gbyte optical disks. The target's role is to manage the 130mm multifunctional drive and disk as an optical memory device through its SCSI interface. These optical drives support 130mm rewritable optical disks conforming to ISO/IEC 10089 Format A, and write-once optical disks conforming to ISO/IEC DIS 11560, for 650-Mbyte capacity. The RW530 also supports the ECMA 184 standard for 1.3-Gbyte capacity, both rewritable and write-once. The following sections outline disk layout for both 650-Mbyte and 1.3-Gbyte optical disks. Throughout this section, the sector number is that of a 1024 bytes/sector disk. The value of a 512-bytes/sector disk is written inside parentheses just after the value for the 1024 bytes/sector disk. 6.6.2 Optical Disk Layout--650-Mbyte Capacity This section highlights some of the aspects of an optical disk as outlined by the ISO standard DIS 10089A and ISO/IEC DIS 11560. There are three recording styles used on the optical disk that correspond to three specified areas on the disk: · Phase encoded part (PEP) · Standard formatted part (SFP) · User zone Both the PEP and SFP are areas that have been ``recorded'' by the media manufacturer and cannot be altered by a drive. They contain information that the drive uses to best read and write to the optical disk. Consult the ISO standard for more information. Theory of Operation 6-15 Figure 6-7 Optical Disk Layout 6.6.3 User Zone Layout--650-Mbyte Capacity The User Zone consists of Defect Management Areas (DMAs), a User Area and a Slipping Area. The DMAs contain information on the organization of the User Area into User Groups and Spare Groups. The DMAs also contain a Primary Defect List (PDL) and a Secondary Defect List (SDL) that provide information on the locations of defects. The drive uses this information to perform defect management. Although the User Zone consists of tracks and sectors, it is often easier to think of it in terms of a large memory space of consecutive sectors. Figure 6-8 shows the following parts of the User Zone for 650-Mbyte media. 1. Four Defect Management Areas (DMAs) that each consist of: Disk Definition Structure (DDS) Primary Defect List (PDL) Secondary Defect List (SDL) 2. Slipping Area 3.

The disk is divided into various zones, similar to the 650-Mbyte capacity. See Figure 6-7. In addition to the User Zone, where user data is stored, there are other zones including the PEP and SFP zones. Both the PEP and SFP contain information prerecorded by the media manufacturer and cannot be altered by a drive. They contain information about media parameters that the drive uses to read from and write to the optical disk. Consult the ISO standard for more information. 6.6.5 User Zone Layout--1.3-Gbyte Capacity The User Zone consists of Defect Management Area (DMAs), and User Area. The DMAs contain information about the organization of the User Area into User Groups and Spare Groups. The DMAs also contain a Primary Defect List (PDL) and a Secondary Defect List (SDL) that provide information on the locations of defects. The drive uses this information to perform defect management. Although the User Zone consists of tracks and sectors, it is often easier to think of it in terms of a large memory space of consecutive sectors. Figure 6-9 shows the following parts of the User Zone for 1.3-Gbyte media. 1. Four Defect Management Areas (DMAs) each consisting of a · Disk Definition Structure (DDS) · Primary Defect List (PDL) · Secondary Defect List (SDL) 2. Slipping Area 3. User Area consisting of · g User Groups, of n sectors each · g Spare Groups, of m sectors each ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ g = 1 or 16 ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-18 Theory of Operation Figure 6-9 and Figure 6-10 show the User Zone Layout for 1.3-Gbyte, for both g=1 and g=16, respectively. It is important to note one significant difference between 650-Mbyte and 1.3-Gbyte media. Both types of media can contain multiple groups, however the start of each group on 650-Mbyte media can ``slip out'' with any slip spares found prior to that group. 1.3-Gbyte media establishes groups BEFORE accounting for slip spares. (Please refer to Section 6.6.6 for more details. Figure 6-9 User Zone Layout for 1.3-Gbyte Media, g=1 Theory of Operation 6-19 Figure 6-10 User Zone Layout for 1.3-Gbyte,g=16 6-20 Theory of Operation Table 6-2 shows the values for n and m for 1.3-Gbyte with g=16 (1024 media).

This means that logical tracks do not necessarily align with physical revolutions. Table 6-3 details the physical revolution to logical track layout for 1.3-Gbyte media.

Each DMA consists of a: · Disk definition structure (DDS) · Primary defect list (PDL) · Secondary defect list (SDL). The DDS contains information about the number of User and Spare groups on the disk and their sizes. The PDL contains a list of defective sectors determined by the manufacturer or by a certification of the User Area, i.e. during a SCSI Format Unit Command. Defective sectors in the PDL are associated with the slip sparing algorithm described in this chapter. 6-22 Theory of Operation The SDL contains a list of defective sectors and corresponding replacement sectors determined during disk use after certification. Defect/replacement entries in the SDL are associated with the replacement sparing algorithm described in this chapter. The Slipping Area is a reserved portion of the user zone used by the slip sparing algorithm. Defects found during certification are excluded from use. The user- accessible space is slipped by a corresponding number of sectors into this slip area. This area is large enough to account for a maximum of 2048 slip spares. Any unused sectors in the Slipping Area are unavailable for user data. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The Slipping Area applies only to 650-Mbyte media. ------------------------------------------------------------ The information in the DDS provides a means for controlling the placement of reserved sectors that can be used by the replacement sparing algorithm. There are three important parameters; the variables g, n, and m are used in the ISO standard, and will also be used here for consistency: · g - number of groups · n - number of sectors in a user group · m - number of sectors in a spare group If the User Groups is where user data will be stored initially, and the Spare Groups are reserved sectors for the replacement sparing algorithm g, n, and m are generally chosen so that they maximize the number of spare sectors allowed, and maximize the size of the User Area. (The ISO standard for 650-Mbyte media allows for a maximum of 2048 spare sectors total from the PDL and the SDL, while the ECMA standard for 1.3-Gbyte allows for 2057 or 1077, depending on the sector size of 1024 or 512 bytes per sector, respectively.) For 1.3-Gbyte the value for g must be 1 or 16. In general for 650-Mbyte: g * (n + m) <= (size of User Area) In general for 1.3-Gbyte: g = 1 or 16,(n, m, or n0 thru n15 and m0 thru m15 are predefined based on g). For more details consult the ISO or ECMA standard. Theory of Operation 6-23 6.6.7 Slip Sparing Algorithm The slip sparing algorithm is used to manage the defective sectors listed in the PDL during address translation between logical and physical blocks. During an address translation, the logical blocks are ``slipped'' past any defective sectors, thus the name ``slip sparing.'' As an example, say there are defective sectors at block addresses 20 and 30, and you want the physical address of logical block 40. Since addresses 20 and 30 are defective they should be slipped past, so logical block address 20 is now physical block address 21, and logical block address 30 is now physical block address 32, taking into account both physical blocks 20 and 30 being slipped past. This would result in physical block address 42 being the translation for logical block address 40. Note that this is not a truly accurate example for three reasons: 1. PDL entries are given in track/sector form, not as block addresses. The final translated address must also be in track/sector form. 2. There is a 3-track offset added to the physical block address, 51 sectors for 1024 bytes/sector media and 93 sectors for 512 bytes/sector media. 3. This example does not take into account the effects of Spare Groups preceding this sector. The User and Spare Groups are determined after slip sparing, for 650-Mbyte media, and before slip sparing for 1.3-Gbyte media. For 650-Mbyte media, slip sparing is always the first step of address translation, followed by User and Spare Grouping, and replacement sparing. For 1.3-Gbyte media, user and Spare Grouping is always the first step of address translation, followed by slip sparing, and replacement sparing. The data structures for slip sparing and User and Spare Grouping (the PDL and DDS respectively) are created or updated only during a certification/format process, such as during a SCSI Format Unit Command. After certification, any additional defect management updating is done through the replacement sparing algorithm. 6.6.8 Replacement Sparing Algorithm Once a disk has been certified and is being used by a customer, additional defective sectors may develop. The replacement sparing algorithm is intended to manage these defective sectors. As was mentioned earlier, the DDS allows for a number of sectors to be reserved for future use by the replacement sparing algorithm. These "spare sectors" reside in the Spare Groups, and are referred to via entries in the SDL. Each SDL entry consists of a defect and its replacement pair. The defect is always a sector in a User Group, and the replacement is a sector from a Spare Group. Both are given in track/sector form. 6-24 Theory of Operation During normal address translation, after the original physical address is found via the slip sparing algorithm, the SDL is checked to see if that physical address was 'spared' through the replacement sparing algorithm. If so, the replacement physical address is substituted for the original physical address. In the event a sector needs to be replaced, i.e. due to a Reassign Blocks Command or automatic reallocation during a write command, a new defect/replacement pair is added to the SDL (if the new defect is not already in the SDL). (Updating an existing defect/replacement pair only occurs on 650-Mbyte media. For 1.3-Gbyte media a new defect/replacement pair is added, thus creating a ``chain'' of defect /replacement pointers. 6.6.9 Error Thresholds Although not directly related to disk format, the various error thresholds are the basis for deciding whether or not to spare a sector. This could happen during the certification process (i.e. the slip sparing algorithm) or auto-reallocation during a SCSI Write command (i.e. the replacement sparing algorithm). These error thresholds are related to the format of a sector in the user zone. Each sector in the user zone consists of a header, user data, and error correction information. The first error threshold of importance involves information in the sector header. Each header consists of three copies of the sector 's track number, sector number, and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). The error threshold is determined by the number of sectors found ``good.'' The other error threshold of interest involves information about error correction. The error correction information that follows the data is often referred to as ECC (Error Correction Code) data. This data is a compact way to encrypt information about the original data written to the disk. With this information a drive can correct up to 8 bytes per data interleave in the User Data of a sector. Each sector has 10 (5) interleaves with 120 (122) bytes in each interleave. The actual number of bytes per interleave requiring correction is used as an error threshold. (Please consult the ISO standard for more details.) Table 6-4 shows the error thresholds for the optical drive. The sector IDs column refers to the minimum number of sector IDs that must be read correctly for the corresponding operation to be deemed successful. The ECC level column refers to the maximum number of bytes per interleave that require correction in order for the corresponding operation to be deemed successful.

Figure 6-11 Error Detection and Recovery 6-26 Theory of Operation 6.7.1 Error Detection The autochanger error detection methods are extensive. Both processes and sensors detect errors. Each of the processes that detect errors are interrelated. Depending on the error condition, the autochanger expects feedback from one or more of the following processes before a diagnosis is made: · overforce shutdown · sense of touch · motor position An overforce shutdown occurs when the motors exert more force than is expected or required. If this occurs, the servo automatically shuts itself down to prevent parts damage. After an overforce shutdown occurs, the autochanger analyzes the situation, self-calibrates, and attempts a retry. Sense of touch is the process where actual force used is compared to the recommended force for each move. The autochanger uses this information to detect errors or qualify moves. The difference between sense of touch and overforce shutdown is that the servo is not automatically shut down if sense of touch detects an error. The positions of the motors are continuously monitored by the controller PCA. The position, along with the sense of touch feedback, is a valuable source of error detection. These processes also combine to detect errors. For example, the sense of touch and the motor position processes continuously monitor the motor position and motor force levels to sense whether a potential error has occurred. It does not imply a sensing of complete force profiles, but the ability to continuously sample the force profile. The physical parts of the error detection system are the sensors. These hard- wired sensors provide information that is impossible to determine through other means. This feedback information is fed to the autochanger controller PCA. There are two forms of sensors: · drive handshake - the drive provides a set of signals back to the autochanger controller to indicate the status of certain loader operations. · optical sensors - detect conditions that are otherwise difficult to detect and are used to calibrate the unit. There are two mailslot sensors to detect if a cartridge is properly inserted into the mailslot, and a sensor for detecting Theory of Operation 6-27 which side of the picker faces the mailslot-end of the chassis and allow calibration of the picker 's position in relation to the drive and storage slots. 6.7.2 Error Recovery Processes The autochanger uses the following processes to recover from errors: · Inline Recovery · Find Home Sequence · Calibrate For certain well-defined error conditions, recovery operations that have little effect on position or performance of the autochanger are executed inline. These are used only if the error condition can be determined exactly, and in cases where further motion may make recovery difficult. The purpose of FIND HOME is to initialize the machine to a known state. For power-on, this means finding a "home" (zero) position for the carriage/picker assembly. The calibrate procedure is then called to further locate reference points other than the zero locations found during FIND HOME. Using sensors, the picker is characterized as to its relationship with the mechanism. The positions of the drive, mailslot, and storage slots are calculated based on the location of the sensors. For recovery after power-on, many subsets of FIND HOME may be called. One mode, for example, only determines which side of the picker faces the mailslot-end of the chassis. If any of the subsets of FIND HOME fail, the full FIND HOME sequence is run. A successful running of FIND HOME gives the autochanger code the exact positions of each end of the carriage rail and the rear plane of the picker assembly. Also, the autochanger then knows which side of the picker is facing the mailslot-end of the chassis and whether the picker holds a disk or not. 6.7.3 SCSI Detected Errors For the vast majority of potential error conditions that may exist, the SCSI interface retrieves immediate information about the error with no motion required. Potential error conditions include: · the machine not being ready for a new command due to another previously- issued command or a previously-detected hardware fault that prevents motion · an illegal request to move a cartridge from an empty location or to a full location · an illegal request to do an unsupported command or operation 6-28 Theory of Operation · invalid syntax or parameters in a command · various bus-level communication errors In all of these cases, the command is rejected immediately and the autochanger is not moved. 6.7.4 Move Errors If an error is detected during an autochanger motion, the state of the machine is recorded in internal memory and a retry procedure is called. Errors of this type may be either physical or logical, and may be recoverable or unrecoverable. Results of the error recovery are returned to the host when the command completes. If possible, the cartridge is returned to its original location before command completion, putting the autochanger back into its original state. Logical errors refer to conditions in which source locations were found unexpectedly empty or destination locations were found unexpectedly full. These conditions indicate that a cartridge was moved without the knowledge of the autochanger, possibly during service. At this point, the host must become involved in locating the source of the error. The host's actions can include issuing a Read Element Status command to find the difference between the host's location (element) list and that of the autochanger, followed by an Initialize Element Status command to find the actual locations of all disks. When the differences are determined, a final check of data on the disk should be done, with replacement to the appropriate location (element). The picker "element status" always reflects the physical state of the picker. The autochanger will not give a status when the picker is found unexpectedly full or empty because this logical error is not allowed. At power-on, the picker is checked to see if it contains a cartridge. The mechanical design of the picker prevents a cartridge from being fully inserted into the picker without first going through an initial power-on cycle in the autochanger. Physical errors refer to conditions in which something physically changes in the system that prevents normal operation of the motion. These can be either temporary or permanent. Error recovery attempts to recover from every physical error without host intervention. Any error that is detected through overforce, sense of touch, or by a sensor calls a procedure to attempt the recovery. One exception to the no-host-intervention rule is in the drive/autochanger interaction. If the autochanger indicates that a cartridge has been inserted into the drive, but the drive does not read it, the host must become involved in identifying the source of the problem. Likewise, if the drive is commanded to eject a cartridge and does not do so, the drive is considered to be empty and the Theory of Operation 6-29 host must identify either the final position of the cartridge or determine if the drive has failed. 6.7.5 Hardware Error Codes If an error is unrecoverable (i.e., something is broken or jammed to a point that manual intervention is required), the autochanger takes an additional step in an attempt to identify the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) that is causing the failure. A routine is called automatically that performs a process of elimination for various FRUs. This routine attempts to isolate the error to three (or less) FRUs. If no error can be found (or if recovery was made from the error), the unit returns a "no error" status. If an error is found, a hardware error code and a move error code is returned when the command completes. Up to three FRU numbers are returned. The FRUs, and a time stamp, are listed in decreasing order of probability. Hardware error codes are listed in Table 4-1. 6.7.6 Real Time Event Logging Information Logs The optical disk library provides information logs about the autochanger 's operation and error history. The logs can provide predictive information which could lead to early detection of autochanger problems. All the logs are maintained within the non-volatile RAM and are accessible through the control panel and by the SCSI Log Sense command over the SCSI interface. The main functions provided with operational logs are described below. Error Log The autochanger maintains a history of past diagnostic test errors which have occurred within the autochanger, together with a time stamp of when they occurred. The error message maintained for each error indicates the failure and the possible FRUs which may have caused the failure. Move Success Log A cumulative number of move recoveries and a total move count are maintained. This gives service a view of the history of the autochanger soft error rate. The last ten hard errors are marked in this log by indicating how many good moves occurred since the last hard error. Force Log Each cartridge move is actually a sequence of many small moves, known as micro-moves. This log is a record of the maximum force measured during every micro-move situation. 6-30 Theory of Operation Recovery Log This is a record of recoverable (soft) errors, and related information on error recovery methods used and their success or failure. Drive Log This data indicates the number of times the autochanger uses each drive. Run-Time Log An entry is put into this log each time an error occurs which requires any form of recovery. Both "on-the-fly" and extensive recovery methods are logged. The type of error, the method of recovery, and the number of moves to that point are recorded. Odometer This value indicates the total number of moves executed since the non-volatile RAM was first initialized. Power-on hours are also logged. 6.8 The SCSI Interface As defined by ANSI (American National Standards Institute), SCSI allows up to eight devices on the bus in any combination of computers and peripherals. The devices can communicate with one another without control from a host computer. Another powerful feature is the ability of SCSI to perform arbitration. SCSI allows the host to initiate transactions, then break communication with a device, do something else, and re-establish communication when the device is ready. Finally, SCSI is capable of high data transfer rates. Synchronous data transfer rates may be as fast as 4 Mbytes/second, and asynchronous rates up to 1.5 Mbytes/second, limited only by the capabilities of the computer and peripheral. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not switch off any peripheral on the SCSI bus without first checking that the bus is not active. Switching off can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. ------------------------------------------------------------ Theory of Operation 6-31 6.8.1 SCSI Command Set The following SCSI-2 commands can be used with the optical disk library. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Detailed descriptions of these commands and their functionality with optical products can be found in the following documents: · Offline Diagnostics for Hewlett-Packard Optical Products, located in Appendix B. · American National Standards Institute (ANSI) document titled, "Small Computer System Interface - 2 (SCSI-2)," revision 10H which is dated September, 1991.

RECTO_HEAD>(CANCEL_H) Basic Supplies and Reorderable Parts B-3 C ------------------------------------------------------------ Connecting Multiple Optical Libraries If the back panel of your host computer is configured with more than one SCSI port, you can attach an Optical Library to each port. See Section C.1 for directions. You can also connect two units to a single SCSI port on your host computer by daisy-chaining the units together; that is, by connecting the first Optical Library to the host computer, and then connecting the second Optical Library to the first Optical Library. See Section C.2 for directions. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Only two Optical Library units may be daisy-chained together and connected to a single SCSI port. Each SCSI port is limited to a total of seven SCSI addresses, therefore, the large unit (RW514/RW516) is not supported for daisy chaining because each unit has 5 IDs. ------------------------------------------------------------ If two Optical Library units are daisy-chained to one SCSI port on the host computer, you must properly terminate the SCSI chain by installing the SCSI terminator in the second SCSI port of the second Optical Library. See Section C.2 for directions. You must also set a new SCSI address for the autochanger controller and the two optical disk drives of the second Optical Library unit. See Section C.2.1 for directions. C.1 Connecting Two Optical Library Units to Two SCSI Ports To connect two Optical Library units to separate SCSI ports on your host computer, first check the back panel of your host computer to see that two SCSI ports are available. SCSI ports are marked by the PMAZ label and the SCSI icon: Connecting Multiple Optical Libraries C-1 If there are two SCSI ports available, uncrate and prepare each Optical Library for connection to the host computer. Change SCSI IDs for drive and controller address if necessary before connecting to the host computer. Plug the 50-pin Honda connector of the SCSI cable from the first Optical Library unit into the lowest-numbered SCSI port on the host computer back panel. Then, plug the 50-pin Honda connector of the SCSI cable from the second Optical Library unit into the next-lowest-numbered SCSI port on the host computer back panel. For example, if option slots 0 and 2 are labeled PMAZ and have the SCSI icon, plug the SCSI cable from the first Optical Library unit into the 50-hole connector in option slot 0, and plug the second Optical Library unit into option slot 2. C.2 Connecting Two Optical Library Units to One SCSI Port To connect two Optical Library units to one SCSI port on your host computer, uncrate and prepare each Optical Library for connection to the host computer. Then, see Figure C-1 and follow these steps: C-2 Connecting Multiple Optical Libraries Figure C-1 Connecting Two Deskside Optical Library Units (RW510/RW530) to One SCSI Port 1. If you have already connected one Optical Library to the host system, then go to the next list item. If you have not already connected one Optical Library to the host system, then locate the lowest-numbered SCSI port on the host computer back panel. Each SCSI port is labeled with the option identifier PMAZ and the SCSI icon: Connecting Multiple Optical Libraries C-3 Plug the 50-pin Honda connector of the SCSI cable from the first Optical Library unit into the lowest-numbered SCSI port on the host computer. 2. Remove the terminator from the second SCSI port on the back panel of the first Optical Library if a terminator is in place. Plug the terminator into the second SCSI port of the second Optical Library. The second SCSI port is the port furthest from the Drive Address Select Switches. 3. Locate the 50-pin Champ to 50-pin Champ SCSI jumper cable shipped in the box marked OPEN FIRST. 4. Plug one end of the SCSI jumper cable into the second SCSI port on the first Optical Library (the port from which you removed the terminator). The connector is keyed so that it only attaches one way. Lock the wire brackets into the grooves on the sides of the connector. 5. Plug the other end of the SCSI jumper cable into the first SCSI port on the back of the second Optical Library. The first SCSI port is the port nearest the Drive Address Select Switches. Lock the wire brackets into the grooves on the sides of the connector. If you have not already done so, place the terminator on the second port of the second Optical Library. Then, complete the installation by following the directions in Section C.2.1 to change the SCSI addresses of the second Optical Library. If the first Optical Library is not already connected to the host system, connect the first Optical Library unit to the host by following the instructions in your host system documentation, after SCSI IDs are changed. C.2.1 Resetting Controller and Drive SCSI Addresses If two Optical Library units are daisy-chained together such that the first Optical Library unit is connected to one SCSI port on the host computer and the second unit is connected to the SCSI port on the first Optical Library, the SCSI addresses of the second unit's controller and disk drives must be reset so that they are different from the controller and drive addresses of the first unit. Follow the instructions in Section 3.4 to reset the controller and optical disk drive SCSI addresses. The autochanger controller default SCSI address is 3 for both the medium and small units. Leave the SCSI address of the autochanger controller in the first Optical Library unit set to the current ID number, and change the address of the controller in the second unit to an unused ID number by performing the following steps. C-4 Connecting Multiple Optical Libraries 1. To avoid bus conflicts, before changing defaults, first verify the IDs of all SCSI devices connected to the host system and the autochanger and drive IDs of the first Optical Library. 2. Shut down the host system. 3. Ensure that the Optical Library is switched on. For the small unit, go to step 5. 4. With READY displayed, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ OPTION ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . TEST * displays. 5. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until SCSI IDs * displays. 6. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . AC ID # displays where # may be the default number indicated in Table 4-2 or the current address. This is the Autochanger controller address. If you want to change this address press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , otherwise continue to press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until the drive number whose address you want to change is displayed, (DRV1 ID 1, DRV2 ID 2, etc) 7. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ PREV ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until the desired address number displays. 8. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The message SET # displays. Address is now set. 9. If you want to change additional drive addresses, Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until that drive number is displayed and repeate steps 6 through 8 to set the new address. 10. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ until UPDATE or CONFLICT displays. If CONFLICT displays, two or more drives and/or the controller have been set to the same address and must be reset. If UPDATE displays and you are satisfied with the address you have selected, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ENTER ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . 11. Record the new address settings for future reference. Connecting Multiple Optical Libraries C-5 ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not press the Optical Library operation switch (located on the front panel) or the power switch (located on the rear panel) until you are sure that the SCSI bus is inactive. Pressing either button when the bus is active can cause data loss and indeterminate bus states. Check the host system reference manuals for information on checking the status of the SCSI bus. ------------------------------------------------------------ 12. Push the operation switch (located on the Optical Library front panel) off and then back on so the new address setting is recognized by the host system.
