Frame Control Assembly And Dual Ac Power - IBM TS3500 Manual

Manager customers should assign All Other Volsers to a specific logical library. For more
information, select Cartridge assignment policy under the related concepts below.
An insert notification event can be caused if you open the I/O station door and perform one
of the following actions:
•
Place a cartridge into an empty I/O slot
• Move a cartridge from one I/O slot to another
If you enable the insert notification setting, when new media is detected in the I/O station
the operator panel displays a message that asks you to select a logical library. Any
unassigned cartridges in the I/O station are then assigned to the logical library that you
select (and all other logical libraries will not be able to access the cartridges). If you do not
select a logical library within 60 seconds or if you select the BACK button, the library makes
the cartridges unassigned and the operator panel returns to the Activity Screen. You can
later assign the unassigned cartridges by using the IBM® System Storage™ Tape Library
Specialist Web interface or the TS3500 Tape Library Command Line Interface .

Frame control assembly and dual ac power

This section describes the frame control assembly (FCA) power structure and the optional
dual ac power feature of the TS3500 Tape Library. This power structure and feature apply to
Models L22, D22, L32, D32, L52, and D52.
The frame control assembly power structure is designed so that each Ultrium tape drive and
3592 tape drive is paired with an associated power supply. Adjacent power supplies are
cabled together such that redundant power becomes a standard function. Each pairing is
packaged side by side on a shelf in a frame. Drives are housed in removable canisters and
power supplies are housed in fixed trays. The design enables a drive with a failed power
supply to continue operating by using power from the adjacent power supply.
The library's optional dual ac power feature further enhances library availability by making
another power source available in case of planned or unplanned power grid outages. The
feature provides a power switch that connects to two independent ac line cords which
connect to two independent branch power feeds. The line cords support 110 V ac or 220 V
ac. The switch monitors the ac line voltage from the feed it uses and automatically connects
