The Optical Library contains multifunction optical disk drives. Multifunction drives can operate in both rewritable mode and write- once mode depending on the type of disk that is inserted into the drive. When a write-once disk is inserted, a multifunction drive operates in write- once mode, and data cannot be altered or erased once it is written to the disk. When a rewritable disk is inserted in the drive, the drive operates in rewritable mode, and data can be repeatedly written and erased. · Security The Optical Library can be easily located in a secured computer room environment. Access to inserting and removing disks through the mailslot can be restricted through security configurations that must be set using a password. In addition, each side of a rewritable optical disk can be write-protected. · Simplified integration The drive mechanisms and autochanger use SCSI. The Optical Library adheres to the SCSI-2 command set. · Upgradable storage capacity The Disk Library System is upgradable as your storage capacity needs increase. (Maximum total storage capacity is given in Table 1-1.) Although the cost per megabyte of optical disks is much lower than that of hard disks, the time it takes to access data is typically 2 to 5 times longer than with high-performance magnetic hard disks. Therefore, the Optical Library should not be used as a hard disk replacement for high-performance applications. Technical Overview 1-3 Technical Overview 1.2 Optical Library Components 1.2 Optical Library Components Figure 1-1, through Figure 1-4 illustrate the major components of the different sizes of the Optical Library. The following list describes each major component called out in Figure 1-1 through Figure 1-4. ! Disk Drives The Optical Library contains from one to four optical disk drives for read/write data transfer. Each drive requires a unique SCSI address. " Storage Slots The Optical Library contains either 2, 4, 11, or 18 magazines depending on the model. Each magazine has 8 storage slots for a total of 16, 32, 88 or 144 optical disk storage slots. # Mailslot The mailslot is used to insert and remove optical disks. $ Front Panel The Front Panel includes a control panel used to manage and display autochanger functions, and a mailslot to insert and remove disks. All front panel and control panel features are fully described in Chapter 4. % Rear Panel The rear panel includes SCSI and power cord connections. Information for connecting the Optical Library to the host computer is given in Appendix F. & Carriage and Rails The carriage and rails support the picker as it moves within the Optical Library. ' Picker The picker rotates, flips, and transports disks to and from storage slots, drives, and the mailslot. 1-4 Technical Overview Technical Overview 1.2 Optical Library Components Figure 1-1 Small Optical Library Components (RW504/524-ZA) Technical Overview 1-5 Technical Overview 1.2 Optical Library Components Figure 1-2 Deskside Optical Library Components (RW510/530-ZC) 1-6 Technical Overview Technical Overview 1.2 Optical Library Components Figure 1-3 Rackmount Optical Library Components (RW511-ZC) Technical Overview 1-7 Technical Overview 1.2 Optical Library Components Figure 1-4 Large Optical Library Components (RW514/516/534/536-ZF) 1-8 Technical Overview Technical Overview 1.3 Definition of Common Terms 1.3 Definition of Common Terms Table 1-2 defines some of the more common terms used with the Optical Library. Additional terms are defined in the glossary at the end of this guide. Table 1-2 Common Terms ------------------------------------------------------------ Term Definition ------------------------------------------------------------ Autochanger A term synonymous with Optical Library. Autochanger Controller Controls the sending and receiving of SCSI commands and controls the mechanical system. Disks, Optical Disks, Cartridges These terms are synonymous with the 5.25-inch magneto-optical disks. Rewritable disks (data can be repeatedly written and erased) or write-once disks (data cannot be altered once it is written) can be ordered from Digital in the 512 bytes/sector format. See Chapter 2. Element A SCSI term for any one of the autochanger components - drives, mailslot, storage slots, or picker. Flip This occurs when the picker rotates to switch from one side of a disk to the other. Magazine A component of the Optical Library that contains 8 storage slots. The Optical Library has 2, 4, 11, or 18 magazines and therefore 16, 32, 88, or 144 optical disk storage slots. Picker Move This occurs when a disk needs to be transported to and from any of these elements--drives, mailslot, and storage slots. SCSI An acronym for the industry-standard Small Computer Systems Interface. Swap When a picker replaces one disk in the drive with another, returning the first to its storage slot. Terminator A resistor array device used for terminating a SCSI bus line. The last device in the chain of devices needs a terminator. Translate A picker move from one side of the carriage to the other. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1.4 SCSI Architecture The Optical Library connects to the host system through a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI). This interface conforms to SCSI standards ANSI X3.131 - SCSI-2, rev 10h. Usually each SCSI-connect peripheral requires one SCSI address. With the Optical Library, however, there are up to five unique SCSI interface addresses--one SCSI address for the autochanger controller and one for each Technical Overview 1-9 Technical Overview 1.4 SCSI Architecture drive contained in the Optical Library. (The Optical Library has up to four optical drives.) The autochanger controller and the host operating system manage communication through the SCSI bus to each drive's unique SCSI address. The SCSI interface for the Optical Library is single-ended. The single-ended SCSI connectors are located on the lower rear panel of the Optical Library. The Optical Library uses a 1.8 meter (6 foot) SCSI interface cable. With the single-ended SCSI interface, up to 6 meters (19.8 feet) of total cable length is allowed. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ An internal cable length of 2.1 meters (7 feet) for the small unit or 1.44 meters (5.76 feet) for the medium and large units, must be included in the total cable length calculation. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1.5 Control Panel Information Logs When the autochanger hardware encounters difficulty, the system automatically goes into error recovery mode. For example, if the picker can't complete a move, the autochanger tries to remedy the problem automatically. If the recovery is successful, information about the error is recorded in an Information Log which is maintained in nonvolatile RAM. Appendix B provides a listing of all Information Logs. If the attempted recovery fails, information about how it failed is also passed to an Information Log. Your service representative can use this information, and other information recorded in information logs, to identify the appropriate service needed. 1.6 Control Panel Diagnostic Tests 1.6.1 Power On Test The power on test runs automatically when the Optical Library operation switch is first switched on, and may also be initiated from the control panel. The power on test initiates a controller test, a power supply test, and a motor connection test. It then initializes the mechanism by setting RAM variables to default values, and moves the picker to its home position. 1-10 Technical Overview Technical Overview 1.6 Control Panel Diagnostic Tests 1.6.2 Diagnostics Other diagnostic tests can be initiated from the control panel. Each test exercises a specific portion of the Optical Library. Once a test completes, the control panel displays either PASS or FAIL. These tests are combined into the following groups: Sequence Tests Tests 1 - 5 are not specific tests but rather execute a sequence of individual tests within the range of Tests 10 through 60. When a sequence test is selected, the Optical Library executes the tests in sequence until an error occurs or until the sequence successfully completes. Exerciser Tests Tests 10 - 29 perform various moves to test basic functions within the Optical Library. Electronic Core Tests Tests 30 - 44 perform basic tests of the autochanger controller. Mechanism Core Tests Tests 50 - 75 perform basic tests of the autochanger mechanism. They perform combinations of moves which can help in problem solving. 1.6.3 Using Diagnostic Tests Typically these diagnostic tests are used by service personnel who are trained to interpret the results and follow through with the appropriate action. There are, however, a few tests which may help you in taking initial troubleshooting steps. Instructions for running diagnostic tests are found in Section 4.7. A complete list of diagnostic tests is given in Appendix C. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Some diagnostic tests can result in a disk being placed into an improper storage slot. If this happens, the Optical Library file system is no longer accurate. Please contact your service representative if you feel diagnostic steps are necessary unless you are trained to perform these diagnostic tests and to interpret their results for the purposes of troubleshooting. ------------------------------------------------------------ Technical Overview 1-11 Technical Overview 1.6 Control Panel Diagnostic Tests 1 Power On Test Checks all digital data paths and normal machine operation. This sequence runs tests that are identical to those run when the Optical Library operation switch is switched on. 2 Wellness Test Checks out the general capability of the autochanger. Requires one loaded cartridge, and the drives and mailslot must be empty. 3 Controller Test A sequence of tests that are run by the autochanger controller at power on to check out all paths, and operation of the servo motor and autochanger circuitry. 10 Initialize Element Status Performs the same function as the SCSI INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command. It physically scans the entire unit to determine which slots and drives contain disks. 23 Shipping Moves the picker to the appropriate position in preparation for shipping. This test can also be run on the small unit 38 Control Panel Light Show and Button Test Lights each portion of the display individually and then together. Requires pushing each control panel button to finish the test. 1.7 Optical Library Maintenance While there are no general maintenance tasks needed, there are some precautions you should take with the Optical Library. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not move the Optical Library without taking the necessary steps documented in Chapter 3. Moving the Optical Library improperly can damage the disk drive mechanisms. 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 or indeterminate bus states. Check the host system reference manuals for information on checking the status of the SCSI bus. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1-12 Technical Overview 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Optical Disks The following topics are presented in this chapter: · Advantages of optical storage · Types of optical disks · Choosing your optical disk brand · Labeling your disk · Caring for your disks · Securing your disks 2.1 Optical Storage Advantages The Optical Library takes advantage of magneto-optical (MO) technology to write data to its optical disks. When data is written to an MO disk, a laser light focuses on the inner magnetic data layer, so minor scratches, and small amounts of dust or fingerprints on the disk's outer surface have no effect on the readability of the data. Optical disks are not susceptible to head crashes, and are more tolerant of magnetic interference and office mishandling than other types of recording media. These durable disks can be stored for at least ten years with no loss of data and, unlike conventional tape backup systems, no retensioning, reconditioning or maintenance is required. MO disks are also called rewritable optical disks because the disk can be erased and new data can be written. The optical disk is mounted in a rigid plastic polycarbonate case with a metal shutter, similar to a 3.5-inch magnetic flexible disk. The polycarbonate case containing the disk is shipped in a plastic storage box. The MO disk has two recording sides. The disk storage capacity may be less than indicated in Table 2-1 depending on the format mode and the host system. Optical Disks 2-1 Optical Disks 2.1 Optical Storage Advantages Table 2-1 Disk Format and Storage Capacity ------------------------------------------------------------ Format Disk Capacity Total Disk Capacity (one surface) 650 Mb Media 1.3 Gb Media ------------------------------------------------------------ 512 bytes/sector 297 Mbytes 594 Mbytes 1.2 Gbytes 1,024 bytes/sector 325 Mbytes 650 Mbytes 1.3 Gbytes ------------------------------------------------------------ Since optical disk drives read only one side of an optical disk, the autochanger flips the disk over as necessary to access both sides. ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE ------------------------------------------------------------ Digital only supports 512 bytes/sector formatted disks. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.2 Optical Disk Types There are two types of optical disks: rewritable optical disks and write-once optical disks. Data can be repeatedly written and erased with rewritable optical disks; however, once data is written to a write-once disk, the data cannot be altered or erased. If you have a need for data security and audit trails, write-once disks should be your disk choice. The two disk types are distiguishable by the words "write-once" or "rewritable" printed on the disk's protective metal shutter. Both disk types are available from Digital in 512 bytes/sector format. As shown in Table 2-1, Optical disks are available in 2 capacities, 650 Mbytes and 1.3 Gbytes. The RW504, RW510 /511, RW514/516 can read from and write to the 650 Mbyte disks only. The RW524, RW530, RW534/536 can read from and write to both the 650 Mbyte and the 1.3 Gbyte disks. Model RW524, RW530, and RW534/536 users should choose the 1.3 Gbyte optical disks to receive the maximum storage capacity from the Optical Library. For part numbers to use when ordering additional optical disks, see Appendix E. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Some host computers or host adapters may support only one disk type or format. Do not use write-once disks in host systems that do not support write-once disks. Refer to your host system documentation to determine the disk types or sector sizes your computer or host adapter supports. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2-2 Optical Disks Optical Disks 2.3 Choosing Your Optical Disk Brand 2.3 Choosing Your Optical Disk Brand Digital recommends that only Digital brand optical disks be used with the Optical Library because of the close relationship between optical disks and optical drives. Digital optical disks are qualified by Digital for reliable use in demanding Optical Library environments. Some optical disks are inappropriate for use in Digital optical products, and while they might seem to work initially, Digital cannot guarantee the disk's performance or long-term data integrity. Note that for an optical disk to work reliably in the Optical Library, the disk must be housed in a polycarbonate case. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Part numbers for Digital disks are provided in Appendix E. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.4 Labeling the Optical Disk Make it a practice to label your optical disks. Adhesive labels are provided with each disk for this purpose. Here are some suggestions for labeling: · Disk identification, such as volume name or number · Date of format or initialization · Disk owner (for example, group/department) · Storage purpose (for example, backup/date, migratable files) Figure 2-1 shows the correct placement for the disk label. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not apply the label to an area on the optical disk that obstructs the movement of the metal shutter. On side A of an optical disk, this is the area just to the right of the metal shutter; on side B, this is the area just to the left of the metal shutter. If a label is applied incorrectly, the disk cartridge gets caught in the drive and can only be removed by an authorized service representative. ------------------------------------------------------------ Optical Disks 2-3 Optical Disks 2.4 Labeling the Optical Disk Figure 2-1 Correct Label Position 2.5 Caring for Your Optical Disks Typically, optical disks do not need periodic cleaning; however, there are some everyday precautions you should take: · Do not expose the disk to extreme magnetic fields. · Do not expose the disk to dust particles. · Do not expose the disk to extreme temperatures or extreme humidity. (See the specifications for environmental conditions at the end of this chapter.) · Do not drop the disk. · Do not open the shutter and touch the disk surface. · Do not clean the disk surface except when absolutely necessary and then use only Digital supplied or approved cleaner. · Do not take the disk cartridge apart. · Do not insert disks with loose labels. · Remove the old label before putting on a new one. · Store your disk in the plastic storage box when it is not in use. 2-4 Optical Disks Optical Disks 2.6 Securing Your Optical Disk 2.6 Securing Your Optical Disk Each side of an optical disk can be write-protected by sliding the write-protect tab on the corner of the cartridge. Figure 2-2 shows the location of the write-protect tab. With the rewritable optical disks, the use of the write-protect tab ensures data safety for files that have been previously written to the disk and prevents any additional files being written to the disk. With the write-once optical disks, existing files cannot be altered or erased regardless of the setting of the write-protect button. However, the use of the write-protect button will prevent writing any additional files to the disk. Write-protect tab closed or away from edge = writable Write-protect tab open or next to edge = write protect. Figure 2-2 Write-Protect Tab Location Optical Disks 2-5 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Moving the Optical Library The following topics are presented in this chapter: · How to move the Optical Library a short distance · How to move the Optical Library a long distance 3.1 Moving a Short Distance If you simply need to move the Optical Library down the hall, to another floor level, or to another building on site, follow these steps: · Unmount (unreserve) any disk surfaces from the host system if necessary. · Eject all disks from the autochanger and, if the disks are not labeled with a storage slot location prior to inserting them into the autochanger, do so now. If running under Library Host software, export disks via software. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ Disks should be imported using the software installed on your system. Use of the following procedures could confuse the system software and cause loss of data. Please refer to your software guide for proper media import and export procedures. If you load disks from the back of the disk library and the disks are inserted incorrectly or put into the wrong storage slot, your file system will be corrupted. ------------------------------------------------------------ Moving the Optical Library 3-1 Moving the Optical Library 3.1 Moving a Short Distance ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Failure to eject the disks from the optical drives prior to transport could result in damage to the drive mechanism and autochanger because the disks can fall out of the storage slots during transport. See Section 4.4 for the procedure for ejecting disks. See Section 2.4 for suggestions for labeling disks. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------ Once all optical disks have been removed from the Optical Library, follow these steps to move the Optical Library. 1. Switch off the Optical Library (front and rear switches as applicable). 2. Remove the power cord and SCSI cable connections from the rear of the Optical Library. 3. Raise the leveler feet, if applicable, using a 1/2-inch wrench. 4. Carefully move the Optical Library to its new destination. 5. Connect the Optical Library to the host. 6. Reconnect the power cord. 7. Lower the leveler feet, if applicable, using a 1/2-inch wrench. 8. Configure the Optical Library to the host as described in your host system manual. 9. Reinsert the optical disks into their correct storage slot locations using host software. (See Section 4.3 for the procedure for loading disks manually.) 3-2 Moving the Optical Library Moving the Optical Library 3.2 Shipping the Unit 3.2 Shipping the Unit If you need to move your Optical Library a long distance, do the following: 1. Unmount (unreserve) any disk surfaces from the host system if necessary. 2. Eject all disks from the autochanger and, if the disks are not labeled with a storage slot location prior to inserting them into the autochanger, do so now. If you are running under Library Host Software, export disks via software. ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Failure to eject the disks from the optical drives prior to transport could result in damage to the drive mechanism and autochanger because the disks can fall out of the storage slots during transport.

A brief discussion of diagnostic tests can be found in Chapter 1. Procedures for how to perform a diagnostic test are found in Chapter 4. ------------------------------------------------------------ VERY IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------ Some diagnostic tests can result in a disk being placed into an improper storage slot. If this happens, the Optical Library file system is no longer accurate. It is strongly recommended that you only execute tests 1, 2, 3, 10, 23, and 38 as described in Section 1.6. All other tests should be performed by a trained service representative. Please contact your service representative if you feel diagnostic steps are necessary unless you are trained to perform these diagnostic tests and to interpret their results for the purposes of troubleshooting. ------------------------------------------------------------ Control Panel Diagnostic Tests C-1 Control Panel Diagnostic Tests Table C-1 Sequence Tests ------------------------------------------------------------ No. Test Name Description ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Poweron Checks all digital data paths and normal machine operation. This test runs the same sequence of tests that are run when the Optical Library operation button is switched on, but does NOT execute all operations. 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 (the Poweron sequence fails.) A restore attempt only occurs if power fails during the Poweron test. 10 - Initialize Element Status (if needed.) 38 - Control Panel Light Show --Mailslot rotation (if not secured.) The rotation could fail (Poweron sequence fails.) Poweron only. 2 Wellness Test Checks out the general capability of the autochanger. Requires one loaded cartridge; drives and mailslot empty.

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. 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. 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. F.1.2 Remove the Shipping Bracket For the small unit, lay the unit on its side and remove the shipping screw as shown in Figure F-2. For the medium unit, See Figure F-3 and follow these steps: Installing the Optical Library F-3 Installing the Optical Library F.1 Contents of Shipment Figure F-2 Removing the Shipping Screw (Small Unit RW504/524-ZA) F-4 Installing the Optical Library Installing the Optical Library F.1 Contents of Shipment Figure F-3 Removing the Shipping Bracket (Deskside Unit RW510/530-ZC) 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. 4. Once the screws are loose, pull the left side panel out and off, and set it aside. Installing the Optical Library F-5 Installing the Optical Library F.1 Contents of Shipment 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. F.1.3 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 F-5 and Figure F-4 and follow these steps: Figure F-4 Attaching the SCSI Cable and Power Cord to the Small Unit (RW504/524-ZA) 1. Remove the rear cover by pulling the top edge out away from the machine (Medium units only RW510/530/511-ZC). 2. Locate the SCSI cable and SCSI terminator shipped in the same small box containing the wrench and screwdriver. F-6 Installing the Optical Library Installing the Optical Library F.1 Contents of Shipment Figure F-5 Attaching the SCSI Cable and Power Cord to the Deskside Unit (RW510/530-ZC) 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. Installing the Optical Library F-7 Installing the Optical Library F.1 Contents of Shipment 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 Section F.2 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. 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. F.2 Connecting More Than One Optical Library 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 F.2.1 for directions. You can also connect two Optical Library 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 F.2.2 for directions. F-8 Installing the Optical Library Installing the Optical Library F.2 Connecting More Than One Optical Library ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 (RW514/516/534/536) 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 F.2.2 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 F.2.3 for directions. F.2.1 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: If there are two SCSI ports available, follow the steps in Section F.1.1 to 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. Refer to Section F.2.3. 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 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. Installing the Optical Library F-9 Installing the Optical Library F.2 Connecting More Than One Optical Library F.2.2 Connecting Two Optical Library Units to One SCSI Port To connect two Optical Library units to one SCSI port on your host computer, follow the steps in Section F.1.1 to uncrate and prepare each Optical Library for connection to the host computer. Then, see Figure F-7 and Figure F-6 and follow these steps: Figure F-6 Connecting Two Small Optical Library Units (RW504/524-ZA) to One SCSI Port F-10 Installing the Optical Library Installing the Optical Library F.2 Connecting More Than One Optical Library Figure F-7 Connecting Two Deskside Optical Library Units (RW510/530-ZC) to One SCSI Port 1. If you have already connected one Optical Library to the host system, as described in Step 4 in Section F.1.1, 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: Installing the Optical Library F-11 Installing the Optical Library F.2 Connecting More Than One Optical Library 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 F.2.3 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. F.2.3 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 F.2.3.1 to reset the controller and optical disk drive SCSI addresses. F-12 Installing the Optical Library Installing the Optical Library F.2 Connecting More Than One Optical Library F.2.3.1 Changing the Optical Library Controller Address 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 following the steps below. (See Section 4.8 for general instructions on setting the controller address.) 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.

Autochanger Controller Controls the sending and receiving of SCSI commands and controls the picker. Block Device File A type of device file that buffers the I/O. Reads and writes to block devices are done in ``block'' mode (data is transferred one block at a time). Carriage Move Used to correctly position the picker in front of a storage slot and to position the picker for translates. Cartridge See Optical Disk. Continuous Composite (C*C) A format that describes the physical, optical, and data format characteristics of a disk that complies with ISO DP 10089-2A. Disk See Optical Disk. Element A SCSI term for any one of the autochanger components--drives, mailslot, storage slots, or picker. Glossary-1 Error Detection and Correction The process of identification and correction of data errors that occur in the reading and writing processes. Redundant information on the disk is used to detect errors. Error detection codes along with Error correction codes are used to reconstruct the data after an error occurs. Flip A picker rotation used to switch the disk from one side to the other. Front Panel Includes a power switch, a control panel used to manage and display autochanger functions, and a place to insert and remove disks. (All front panel features are fully described in Chapter 4.) Magneto-Optical (MO) A type of optical technology that uses a laser to read from and write to a magnetic layer on an MO disk. To write, a spot on the magnetic layer is heated by a laser to a point where it can be magnetically altered by the write magnetic head. To read, a light from the laser is reflected from the spot. The magnetic alteration causes the light to be polarized in one direction (interpreted as a ``1'') or the opposite direction (interpreted as a ``0''). Magazine Magazines contain 8 optical disk storage slots. The Optical Library has 18 magazines and therefore 144 optical disk storage slots. Mailslot Where disks are inserted and removed from the Optical Library. Multifunction Drive An optical disk drive that supports both rewritable and write-once optical disks. The drive detects the disk type by reading a factory-stamped code on the disk, and automatically determines whether to operate in rewritable or write-once mode. Operation Switch The white power switch on the front panel of the Optical Library that enables operation of the Optical Library. Contrast with the Power Switch (see Power Switch.) Glossary-2 Optical Disks Synonymous with the 5.25-inch magneto-optical, or rewritable optical, disks. Picker The part of the Optical Library that rotates, flips, and transports disks to and from storage slots, drives, and the mailslot. Platter See Optical Disk. Power Switch The black power switch on the back of the Optical Library that turns on the power supply; contrast with the Operation Switch (see Operation Switch.) Rails and Carriage The parts that support the picker for movement within the autochanger. Read/Write Head The part of the disk drive assembly that uses a laser and a magnet to read and write data on the MO disk. To write, a spot on the magnetic layer of the disk is heated by the laser to a point where it can be altered by the magnet. To read, the light from the laser (at low power) is reflected from the spot. The magnetic alteration causes the light to be polarized in one direction (interpreted as a ``1'') or the opposite direction (interpreted as a ``0''). Rear Panel The rear panel of the autochanger provides either single-ended or differential SCSI connections, and power connection. Rewritable Optical An optical disk technology in which data can be repeatedly written using magneto-optical reading and writing technology. Rewritable Optical Disk Drives An Optical Disk Drive that supports only rewritable optical disks where data can be repeatedly written and erased. SCSI An acronym for the Small Computer Systems Interface. Glossary-3 Storage Slots Hold cartridges when they are not in the drives or being passed out through the mailslot. Swap Occurs when a picker replaces one disk in the drive with another, returning the first to its storage slot. Terminator A resistor array device used for terminating a SCSI bus. A SCSI bus must be terminated at its two physical ends. A peripheral device uses a terminator only if it is at the end of the bus. Translate A picker movement from one side of the carriage to another. Write-Once An additional operating mode available with multifunction drives. When a write-once disk is inserted, the drive writes data, but does not write over data that has been previously written. This feature is useful for applications that need permanent data security and audit trails. Write-Protect Prevents data from being written to a disk. A write-protect tab is located on both sides of the optical disk cartridge to enable write-protection on one or both surfaces of the disk.
