[. . . ] Refer to the Scalar 10K Operator Guide for more information on label types supported by the Scalar 10K. Insert/Eject Station With the I/E station, you can add or remove cartridges to or from the library without interrupting normal library operation. The I/E Stations are installed on the AM as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-8. In the S10K COD configuration, one pair of I/E stations is included. In the S10K Customer-Specific configuration, one pair of I/E stations is included and an additional pair is optional. In a Dual Aisle configuration, each aisle includes one pair of I/E stations and an additional pair is optional for each aisle. Each I/E station has three removable cartridge magazines. Each I/E station also includes an area designated as the Problem Box where the gripper can deposit a problem cartridge to be retrieved by the operator. This is required for continuous operation. The Problem Box is designed to accommodate any cartridge size that Scalar 10K supports. 2-14 System Description 6-01337-04 Rev A Figure 2-7 I/E Station Components September 2007 Internal Components 2-15 Connectivity The Scalar 10K offers several different connectivity options, allowing the library to support a wide range of backup topologies and applications. Flexible library connectivity delivers active support for loop and switched fabric Fibre Channel protocols, network attachment, along with SCSI. SAN Connectivity The Scalar 10K can be connected to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) via the Storage Network Controller (SNC). The SNC provides four SCSI bus connections, one ethernet, and two Fibre Channel connections. The SNC allows native SCSI devices (for example: library controller and tape drives) to be seen by any hosts that are attached to the SAN. The library controller and the tape drives access the SAN via one of the eight SNCs that can be installed in a Scalar 10K CM or a DM. LTO drives can also attach to the SAN via the Native Fibre Channel interface available. In the Dual Aisle configuration, the Scalar DLC controls the cartridge accessor and the SNC controls the tape drives. 2-16 System Description 6-01337-04 Rev A Figure 2-8 Indirect Fibre Channel Attachment September 2007 Connectivity 2-17 SCSI Connectivity The Scalar 10K library can be directly connected to one or two SCSI buses. Because each SCSI bus is independent, it can be Single Ended or Differential. Both ends of each bus must be terminated. A terminator is shipped with each SCSI adapter card ordered. The minimum configuration of a Scalar 10K library requires one SCSI adapter. The SCSI type (Single Ended or Differential) must be specified at the time of order. Although the Scalar 10K can be attached to a wide SCSI bus, it is not a wide SCSI device and its SCSI ID must be in the range of 0 to 7. Figure 2-9 Direct SCSI Attachment 2-18 System Description 6-01337-04 Rev A Scalar DLC The Scalar 10K, through its Scalar Distributed Library Control (Scalar DLC) interface, provides the industry's most advanced combination of management and diagnostics. It creates and maintains the Scalar 10K configuration, the physical location of the cartridge accessor, and the inventory of cartridges.
