How it works: 0
1Customers can download the StorageCare Guardian agent software
from http://www.quantum.com/guardiandownload.
2Customer installs the StorageCare Guardian agent on any Windows
2000/2003/XP or Solaris 8/9 server located at the customer’s site.
3The StorageCare Guardian agent monitors Quantum products, and
provides information and updates to the Quantum Enterprise Server
that resides at Quantum Support.
4If an error or problem is detected, Quantum queues a request to the
StorageCare Guardian agent for data collection or real-time access to
the system.
5The StorageCare Guardian agent checks access policy settings to
determine if access is allowed.
6If approved, the information is transferred to Quantum, or a remote
connection is initiated.
7Quantum Support will diagnose the problem and, if necessary, send
the needed parts and/or field personnel to resolve the issue.

Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 11
Tape Drives
PX500 Series tape libraries are equipped with either SCSI or native Fibre
Channel tape drives. One SCSI or Fibre bus is provided for the library
robotics (gripper) and for each tape drive installed. SCSI buses are SCSI-2
fast/wide (8/16 bit), Ultra 3 SCSI, Ultra 160, or Ultra 320 SCSI, depending
on the drives installed.
LVD SCSI configurations have a maximum allowable bus length of 12
meters. To determine the cable length of the bus, measure the lengths of
the SCSI cables connecting each device to that bus and add those lengths
together. To that total length, add 12.25 inches (31.10 cm) for the internal
SCSI cable length of each SCSI tape drive.
Tape Drive Types 1PX500 Series libraries support the following tape drives:
• Quantum SDLT320 (SCSI only)
• Quantum SDLT600 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• Quantum DLT-S4 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP LTO-2 (SCSI only)
• HP LTO-3 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
Refer to the following tables for tape drive performance characteristics.
Both SDLT and LTO tape drive can exist in the same library as long as the
appropriate magazines are installed in the library.

DLTSage™ Tape Security
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 31
DLTSage™ Tape Security
The PX500 Series tape libraries with DLT-S4 tape drives are capable of
utilizing DLTSage Tape security. DLTSage Tape Security is a unique
solution designed to prevent unauthorized access to tape cartridges
which is particularly valuable when protecting tapes that are transported
offsite. DLTSage Tape Security is a firmware feature designed into the
DLT-S4 tape drive which uses an electronic key to prevent or allow
reading and writing of data on to a tape cartridge. This key is managed
through the remote management pages of the PX500 Series tape library
(see chapter 3, “Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management,”). DLTSage
Tape Security is available at no additional cost as an integrated feature in
of the DLT-S4 tape drive and PX500 Series tape library (firmware version
20 or later).
Mixed Media Support
The PX500 Series libraries are capable of supporting mixed media in the
same library (SDLT and LTO media) tape drives and media in the same
library frame. You must have at least one magazine type (SDLT or LTO)
for each tape drive type (SDLT or LTO).
Library Scalability (Stacked Configurations)
The PX502, PX506, and PX510 library modules can be used as stand-alone
libraries, or combined with other PX500 Series library modules in a
standard 19-inch rack to form a larger library system (called a multiple

Network
Loading Tape Cartridges 1Before operating the library, load the appropriate tape cartridges (LTO or
SDLT) into the library starting with the left-hand panels (see “Library
Models” on page 2 for slot locations).
Warning: If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT
install the PX-Series modules too high in the rack. The
combined weight of the components may cause the rack
to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top
of an empty rack. If installing a multiple library stack,
begin installing the bottom library module first.

3Place cartridges (right side up) in the fixed slots and magazines:
aOpen the library doors (see “Library Operations” on page 68 to
open the library doors).
bRemove the magazines (see “Library Operations” on page 68 to
release the magazines).
cLoad the tape cartridges in the magazines and fixed bins. It is
recommended to start loading tape cartridges in magazine 1, bin
0000 (see “Library Models” on page 2 for magazine and bin
locations).
dReplace the magazines in the library.
eClose the library doors.
Note: In a PX506 and PX510 library, the bottom doors must be
open to open the top doors.
Note: You have approximately 10 seconds to open the doors and
remove the magazines. If you did not complete the
operation, repeat the steps.
Note: In a PX506 and PX510 library, only the bottom magazines
must be released from the OCP. All other magazines can
be removed without being released.
Warning: Do NOT reach into the library to load tape cartridges
into the fixed bins. Use the Move page located on the
Operations tab from the remote management pages
(see chapter 3 on page 85) to move tape cartridges
from the magazines into the fixed bins.
Caution: Placing the cartridges in the bins upside down can
cause damage to the library (see figure 20 for SDLT
cartridges and figure 21 for LTO cartridges).
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations

Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 42
Taking ESD Precautions 2Components within the PX500 Series contain static-sensitive parts. To
prevent damage to these parts while performing installation,
maintenance, or replacement procedures, observe the following
precautions:
• Keep the cabinet turned off during all installation, maintenance, and
replacement procedures.
• Keep the cabinet power cord connected to a grounded power outlet
except when working with AC electrical components.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching internal cabinet
components. To use the wrist strap properly, place the band around
your wrist and attach the clip to the cabinet frame. Keep the strap on
until you are ready to close the cabinet doors.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their shipping containers until ready for
installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on any metal surface. If you need to
put down a static-sensitive part, place it inside its protective shipping
bag or on a grounded antistatic mat.
Caution: Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang
them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic
interference. Rough handling can displace the tape
leader, making the cartridge unusable and potentially
hazardous to the tape drives. Loss of data could result
from damaged tape cartridges inserted in tape drives.
Warning: Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI filter, and all
other AC electrical components while the cabinet is
connected to a power outlet.
Unplug all AC cords to remove power from equipment.
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 43
• Avoid direct contact with static-sensitive parts. Avoid touching
connectors and discrete components.
• Close cabinet door and access panel when not working on the
cabinet.
• Be very careful when installing the cabinet or handling components
in dry climates or environments where cold weather heating is used.
Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have
greater potential to produce static electricity.
SDLT Cartridges 2The following section shows you how to label SDLT tape cartridges, as
well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.
Labeling 2
Attaching a barcode label to each tape cartridge enables the cabinet to
identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time.
The SDLT cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNS#). The
first six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of
three alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters
allow each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters
are called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• S1 = SDLT 220
• S2 = SDLT 320
• S3 = SDLT 600
•S4 = DLT-S4
Place the label in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge (see
figure 19).
Note: In environments with high potential for static electricity,
take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic
smock or a grounded antistatic mat.
Note: You cannot choose the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues

Figure 19 Inserting a Barcode
Label (SDLT)
Setting the Write-Protect Switch 2
Each tape cartridge has a write-protect switch similar to that shown in
figure 20. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the
cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the cartridge is protected
from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Set the write-protect
switch to enabled when inserting new cartridges into the library. Set the
write-protect switch to protected archiving tape cartridges.
Proper Insertion Orientation 2
Refer to figure 20 for proper label placement, write protection settings
and insertion orientation.
Note: Only use barcode labels that have been designed for
cartridges. Do not adhere labels to a cartridge anywhere
except the slide-in slot.

Figure 20 SDLT Cartridges
LTO Cartridges 2LTO tape cartridges are different in size to the SDLT cartridges as well as
in the barcode labeling and write-protect switch setting (see figure 21).
The LTO cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNL#). The first
six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of three
alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters allow
each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters are
called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• L1 = LTO generation 1 (LTO)
• L2 = LTO generation 2 (LTO-2)
• L3 = LTO generation 3 (LTO-3)
Note: You cannot choose the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues
with duplicate bar code IDs.

Adhesive-backed barcode labels are used on LTO tape cartridges. Refer
to figure 21 for proper label placement, write protection settings and
insertion orientation.
Figure 21 LTO Cartridges
Cleaning Cartridges 2Cleaning cartridges are used when a tape drive within the library
requires cleaning. When Autoclean is enabled (either through the OCP or
remote management screens), the library will automatically clean the
tape drive when needed. A fixed bin (see “Library Models” on page 2 for
bin locations) is generally used to store a cleaning cartridge, however, the
cartridge can be placed anywhere in the library. When the library
completes the inventory, the system stores the cleaning cartridge location
so it will be available when a tape drive requires cleaning.
Both SDLT and LTO cleaning cartridge labels begin with CLN (see
figure 22 for SDLT and figure 23 for LTO).
Caution: LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to the fact
that it uses "magnetic servos." Do not attempt to degauss
LTO tape drive media. If this media is degaussed, it will
no longer work.

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Load Port Configuration
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 83
Load Port Configuration
Load ports are used to import or export tape cartridges from the library.
When configured as a load port, your backup application will
automatically use these bins when exporting or importing tape
cartridges. The bottom left and right magazines in each library can be
configured to provide the following load port elements:
• Single column load port (5 slots SDLT/6 slots LTO)
• Magazine load port (15 slots SDLT/18 Slots LTO)
Each of the load ports are configured independently so that one load port
can be configured as a column and the other load port can be configured
as a column or as a magazine.
When set for a single column load port, the magazine is physically
restricted to allow access to the first column in the magazine only.
When set for a 15-slot load port, the entire magazine can be removed (the
same for a 18-slot LTO magazine).
The load port option is set using the operator control panel Setup menu.
The settings are listed in table 17 and illustrated in figure 58.
Table 17 Import/Export Option
Settings
Tech Tip: Deciding between a single column and an entire
magazines as a load port depends on the amount of tape
cartridges you typically import/export from the library. If
you generally import or export small numbers of tape
cartridges to and from the library, a single column should
be sufficient. If you import or export large numbers of
tape cartridges, an entire magazine as a load port would
be beneficial.

Partitions 3Library partitioning provides the capability to divide the library’s storage
elements into separate partitions, usable by separate host computers on
the same network. The maximum number of partitions per library is four
partitions; however, the number of partitions is limited by the number of
installed tape drives. For example: in a PX502 with two tape drives
installed, only two partitions would be possible in this library.
Partitioning Requirements 3
The requirements for library partitioning differ depending on the library
interface. Additional equipment may be necessary to allow more than
one partition.
•Surrogate SCSI interface - in a library with a surrogate SCSI interface,
there is no additional equipment necessary for library partitioning.
•Native Parallel SCSI interface - in a library with a parallel SCSI
interface, you must add a FC1202 Fibre Channel bridge and configure
the Fibre Channel network to include the bridge(s) and host systems.
If you do not have a FC1202 bridge installed, the library is limited to
one partition.
•Native Fibre Channel interface - in a library with a native Fibre
Channel interface, you must have a Fibre Channel switch available to
connect to the library Fibre Channel SCB, Fibre Channel hosts, and
native Fibre Channel tape drives. If you do not have a Fibre Channel
switch available, the library is limited to one partition.
PX500 Configurations that do NOT Support Partitioning 3
The following PX500 configurations do NOT support partitioning:
•Native Parallel SCSI interface - a parallel SCSI library without a
FC1202 bridge cannot support partitioning.
•iSCSI bridged Parallel SCSI - a parallel library with a TC2201 iSCSI
bridge cannot support partitioning.
•Native Fibre Channel without a switch - a Native Fibre Channel library
that is not have a Fibre Channel switch cannot support partitioning.

Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 137
Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
This section provides information on “Best Practices” when
implementing DLTSage Tape Security and also instructions for migrating
your security keys from one library to another.
For more information on implementing DLTSage Tape Security with
your specific library, refer to the following Quick Start Guides provided
on the documentation CD included in the library accessory kit:
•PX500 Series DLTSage Tape Security Quick Start Guide PN 81-81627
•PX720 DLTSage Tape Security Quick Start Guide PN 81-81588
Best Practices 3When implementing DLTSage Tape Security in your tape library, there
are several “Best Practices” or guidelines to consider:
• The encryption key file should be saved off of the library at least once
a month or whenever a large amount of tapes is removed/added to
the library. It is a good idea to use the date in the file name of the
backup file.
• In the library remote management pages, the secure key and tape
cartridge barcode associations are displayed when you click Find in
the Assign Secure Key to Cartridge section without a specific barcode
entered in the barcode edit box. You should save this file off of the
library so the secure key and barcode associations are available in
case of disaster recovery or when moving the tapes from one library
to another. This also makes it easy to copy and paste the barcode
numbers into the PX720 and PX500 Series remote management pages
when associating barcodes with secure keys.
• Secure key and encryption password information should NOT be
stored in unsecured areas.
Key Migration Scenarios3The following examples describe two key migration scenarios:
•Disaster Recovery Scenario
•Tape Cartridge Migration Scenario
Chapter 3 Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management
Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 138
Disaster Recovery Scenario 3
In the disaster recovery scenario, the original library is inoperable, but
secure keys and barcode associations have been saved off of the system
and are available on the network.
1Remove the tape cartridges and place them in another tape security
enabled library.
2Follow the steps listed below (beginning with step 2) to import
cartridges and associate barcodes with secure keys.
Tape Cartridge Migration Scenario 3
In this tape cartridge migration example, tape cartridges have been
secured in one tape library (PX720 or PX500 series) and you want to move
them into another PX720 or PX500 series library and access them:
1On the original library containing the cartridges:
aAccess the library remote management screens.
bIn the Backup Secure Key file section, backup the secure key file.
This encrypted file contains all of the secure keys and bar code
associations in the original library. Once you click Save as... you
must right-click on the download link to save the file local
directory. This file must be located on a network resource that is
available to the new library.
cExport the tape cartridges from the library.
2On the new library:
aImport the tape cartridges into the new library.
bUpload the secure key file from the original library:
• If you are uploading a backup file from a PX720 to a PX500
series library, you must enter the serial number of the
original PX720 in the Encryption Key field, browse to the
backup file, and click Upload.
• If you are uploading a file from a PX500 series library to a
PX720, you must enter the user defined key name in the
Serial number field, browse to the backup file, and click
Upload.
cWhen the file is uploaded, the secure keys from the original
library display in the secure key name list.
The tape cartridges are now available for reading and writing.

5Troubleshooting
This chapter describes problems you may encounter during the setup and
operation of the Quantum PX500 Series library. Corrective information is
provided to help you resolve the problems.
Several of these problems produce error messages on the OCP called
events (refer to chapter 4).
This chapter is divided into the following sections:
•Common Problems and Solutions
•Interpreting System LED Status
Common Problems and Solutions
The troubleshooting information in this section covers the following
topics:
•Start-up Problems
•OCP Problems
•Robotics (Gripper) Problems
•Operating Problems
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 178
Start-up Problems 5Table 31 describes corrective actions for problems which occur during
start-up.
Table 31 Start-up Problems Problem Corrective Action
The library does not
power on.
• Make sure all power cords are connected to
grounded electrical outlet.
• Press the power button located on the front
of the library.
The library or tape
drives do not
respond on the SCSI
bus.
Make sure each SCSI device on the same SCSI
bus has a unique address and the last device is
properly terminated.
During initialization,
the OCP displays
“ERR.” in the upper
right hand corner
and the LED located
under the buttons is
amber.
• Power the system down completely and
power it back on.
• Determine the failure type by checking any
previous error codes returned to the host
computer.
• Check the event logs from the remote
management pages (see chapter 3 on
page 85).
One or more tape
drives fails to power
up,
• Power on tape drives from the OCP.
• Remove and reinstall the tape drive.
The tape drives are
not visible from the
host system.
• Check all SCSI cabling and termination at
the back of the library. If necessary, contact
your field service representative about
replacing the drives.
• Power on tape drives from the OCP.
• Remove and reinstall the tape drive.

OCP Problems 5Table 32 describes corrective actions for OCP problems.
Table 32 OCP Problems
Robotics (Gripper)
Problems 5
Table 33 describes corrective actions for robotics or gripper problems.
Problem Corrective Action
The OCP is blank. • Physically remove the AC power by removing
all power cords from the power supply(s) and
reconnect them.
• Confirm that power is on and if the OCP is still
blank, contact an authorized Quantum field
service engineer (see “Contacts” on page xix).
The OCP does not
respond to
buttons.
• Verify that the buttons are not stuck
underneath the front bezel.
• Physically remove the AC power by removing
all power cords from the power supply(s) and
reconnect them. Power the library on and if the
OCP still does not respond to buttons, contact
an authorized Quantum field service engineer
(see “Contacts” on page xix).
An error number
or event is
displayed.
Write down the error number and contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer (see
“Contacts” on page xix).

Table 33 Robotics (Gripper)
Problems Problem Corrective Action
The robot does not
move at power up.
• Make sure that all internal packing materials
(foam pads and metal straps) have been
removed.
• Check the library state on the OCP or remote
management pages. If Door Open is
displayed, make sure the front doors are
closed.
• Physically remove the AC power by removing
all power cords from the power supply(s) and
reconnect them. Power the library on and if
the robot still does not move, contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer
(see “Contacts” on page xix).
The barcode reader
cannot read the
barcode and
displays “no
label”.
• Verify that nothing obstructs the reader.
• It is recommended to avoid barcode reader
problems, to only use tape cartridge labels
provided by manufacturer.
• Reboot the library (see “Reboot Library” on
page 141). If the problem continues, contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer
see “Contacts” on page xix).
The robot times
out or fails during
an operation.
• Check that the tape cartridge involved in the
operation is properly positioned in the slot or
drive and ready to be picked.
• Check that the robot is not obstructed in any
way.
• Retry the operation. If it still fails, contact a
field service engineer.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 181
Operating Problems 5Table 34 describes the corrective action for problems which occur during
library operation.
Table 34 Problems During
Library Operation
The robot drops a
cartridge.
• Open the doors.
• Retrieve the cartridge, orient it properly, and
place the cartridge in an empty storage slot.
(Do not try to place the cartridge in the
gripper.)
• Perform an inventory (see “Inventory Page”
on page 103).
• If the operator manually places a cartridge in
an empty slot, he must then run an inventory
so the library records the position of the
manually placed cartridge.
Problem Corrective Action
The host computer
cannot
communicate with
the library.
This may be a SCSI bus time-out or a premature
disconnect problem.
Check cable connections, cable length, SCSI
addresses, and termination.
Restart the host and the library ensuring that
the library is “on-line” before the host is
restarted.
If the host and library still are not
communicating, contact an authorized
Quantum field service engineer see (“Contacts”
on page xix).
Problem Corrective Action
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions

A tape cartridge
(medium) is
reported not
present.
This indicates that the gripper could not sense a
tape cartridge in a particular storage slot even
though the inventory reports that it is present.
The system performs optimally when tape
cartridge labels are present.
Check to see if the designated cartridge is
present. If it is, make sure it is properly seated.
(For a tape drive, make sure the cartridge is
completely unloaded.) Then retry the
command.
If the error persists, contact an authorized
Quantum field service engineer see (“Contacts”
on page xix).
A move command
failed.
Check the source and destination slots. The
source slot should hold the cartridge to be
moved; the destination slot should be empty.
Make sure the gripper is empty and all
actuators are free of obstruction.
Retry the command.
Reboot the library (see “Reboot Library” on
page 141). If the problem continues, contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer see
“Contacts” on page xix).
A flash memory
error is reported.
Contact an authorized Quantum field service
engineer.
A maximum
temperature
exceeded warning
is displayed.
Turn off the library and allow it to cool down.
Lower the room temperature, if possible, and
increase ventilation around the library.
(If the operating temperature is too high, the
library will automatically shut down until the
temperature drops.)

Appendix B
BSDLTtape Cartridge
Maintenance
This appendix provides guidelines for handling SDLT cartridges and
visually inspecting cartridges if necessary.
Handling DLTtape Cartridges
• Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case when it
is not in the library.
• When carrying tape cartridges in their cases, always orient the cases
so that the grooves in the cases interlock. This prevents the cases from
slipping apart and falling.
• Never stack more than five cartridges on top of each other.
• Always observe the proper environmental conditions for the storage
of tape cartridges. Refer to the cartridge reference card supplied with
each cartridge.
• When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure you
stand each tape cartridge vertically.
• Avoid placing tape cartridges near any sources of high intensity
magnetic fields, such as computer monitors or electric motors.
Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 197
• Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes to the top, side, or
bottom of your DLTtape cartridge. Only use the user slide- in type
label provided with each cartridge and slide it over the label slot on
the cartridge.
• Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other container.
Allowing cartridges to bang together exposes them to unnecessary
physical shock.
• Do not touch or allow direct contact with tape or tape leader. Dust or
natural skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact tape
performance.
• Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.
• Do not insert a dropped or damaged cartridge into a DLTtape drive
without, at the very least, a thorough visual inspection (see Visual
Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges). A dropped cartridge may have
dislodged, loosened, or damaged internal components.
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
When To Visually Inspect
a DLTtape Cartridge 2It is important to visually inspect a DLTtape cartridge under the
following circumstances:
• Whenever you change or load a new tape cartridge
• If the tape cartridge has been dropped or subjected to a physical
shock
• If a DLTtape drive becomes inoperable after loading the tape
cartridge
• If you receive a shipment of tape cartridges that shows any sign of
being damaged
Visual Inspection
Procedure 2To visually inspect a DLTtape cartridge:
1Check the cartridge for any obvious cracks or other physical damage.
Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide 198
2Gently shake the tape cartridge. Listen for any rattling of loose pieces
inside the cartridge.
3Locate the reel lock openings (see figure 102) and verify that you can
see the reel locks.
The reel locks are small plastic tabs near the center of the reel lock
openings. They can be broken if the cartridge is dropped.
Figure 102 Location of the
Reel Locks and the Hub
4Verify that the spring-loaded hub (see figure 102) is centered within
the circular opening in the tape cartridge.
5Gently press the hub, then release it. Make sure the hub springs back
into place and is still centered within its circular opening.
6Open the tape cartridge door (see figure 103):
aGently press up on the tab at the right side of the tape cartridge
door.
bSwing the door open.
Caution: If you hear anything loose inside the cartridge, do not
use the cartridge.
Caution: If the reel locks are not visible, do not use the
cartridge.

7Verify that:
• The tape is wound tightly on the reel
• The tape leader loop is sticking up about an eighth of an inch
• The tape leader loop is not bent or torn
8Check for proper operation of the tape cartridge’s write-protect
switch (see figure 104).
The switch should snap back and forth, and the orange tab should be
visible when the switch is in the write-protected position.
Caution: If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use
the cartridge.

Removing the Library from the Rack
To remove the PX502 library from the rack:
1Using the OCP, open the front doors, remove both tape cartridge
magazines, and remove any tape cartridges from the fixed bins or
FlexLink™ (refer to chapter 2, Basic Library Operations for
information on OCP operation and bin locations).
After removing the tape cartridge magazines and closing the doors,
the library inventories all possible tape cartridge locations
(magazines, fixed slots, Flexlink, and tape drives). This process takes
several minutes.
2From the Library Operations screen on the OCP, select Park for
Shipping. The library shuts down automatically.
3From the back of the library, disconnect all power, Ethernet, and SCSI
cables from the library and note their locations for later reinstallation.
4To remove the library chassis from the rack (see figure 125):
aLoosen the captive screws securing the tape drives to the chassis
and remove the tape drive(s) from the back of the library.
bLoosen the captive screw securing the power supplies to the
chassis and remove the power supplies from the back of the
library.
cRemove PHILLIPS screws securing each side of the chassis to the
rack mounting rails and remove two Allen screws securing both
clamps on the back of the library.
dRemove the library from the rack.
Note: You must remove all tape cartridges from the library prior
to parking the library robotics for shipment.
Warning: This unit has more than one power supply cord.
