XLS Library Installation Manual
Provided
by
The battery backup module in the power/PC bay
provides enough backup power to safely shut down the
XLS if an unexpected power failure occurs. However, the
battery module does not provide adequate power to
protect the tape drives. For this reason, Qualstar
Customer
recommends that you connect the XLS to an external
UPS.
Be sure that the UPS uses "APC Smart Signaling"
protocol.
Use a UPS Communication Cable Smart Signaling (part
Customer
number 940-0024).
Refer to the software application and tape drive
documentation for data and cleaning cartridge
Customer requirements. In addition to any cleaning cartridges
required for each logical library, four cleaning cartridges
are needed for the system-reserved slots.
Barcode labels must conform to the ANSI/AIM BCI-1995,
Uniform Symbol Specification (USS-39). Detailed
specifications for XLS barcodes and labels can be found
in Qualstar Product Information Note 040, "XLS, RLS,
and TLS Barcode Labels." To obtain this document, go to
Customer
www.qualstar.com
Pre-printed barcode labels, which are both human- and
machine-readable, are available from a number of
sources.
Refer to the installation plan to determine how many
Customer SCSI cables are required. The tape drives use HD68
connectors, while the HBAs use VHDCI connectors.
Refer to the installation plan to determine how many
Fibre Channel cables are required. The tape drives and
Customer
the HBAs in the XLS both use multimode 62.5/125 fiber
optic patch cables with duplex LC connectors.
You must provide your own equipment for the
Customer
equipment rack.
If you are installing the optional equipment rack with a
North American power strip, you must supply power
cords between the equipment and the power strip. If you
Customer
are using the 240-volt power strip, you must supply a
power cord from the power strip's IEC 60320 inlet
connector to the power source.
You must supply a CAT5e or better, straight-through
Customer Ethernet cable to connect the library to an Ethernet
network for remote operation.
