    Power supply The power supply is accessible from the rear of the library as shown in Figure 5. These auto-ranging power supplies are capable of using any nominal ac voltage between 100 and 240 V power at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Power to the library is supplied through the cord on the rear panel of the power supply.

  • Page 16: Tape Drives

    Tape drives The 4560SLX Tape Library supports a 0-drive, 1-drive, or 2-drive configuration as shown in Figure 6. All inactive tape drives are hot-swap capable. SCSI I/O is accomplished through two VHDCI-series 68-pin SCSI connectors located on the rear of the library directly under each tape drive as shown in Figure 7.

Library controller adapter and PCI slots The library controller board contains a single microprocessor and associated logic devices to control all robotics operations and manage overall library functions. The microprocessor enables the SCSI interface between the library and the host system, including Web TLC (Total Library Control).

  • Page 18: Multi-Module Library Systems

    Figure 9. Library robotics Multi-module library systems The 4560SLX Tape Library is an expandable tape library that can be configured in a variety of module and drive combinations. The drives are mounted in a removable drive shoe that enables easy installation and removal. Therefore, a failed drive can be swapped without the server or library power needing to be cycled.
  • Page 19 The 4560SLX Tape Library supports fail-over protection for multi-unit library configurations. In the event of a master module failure, a pre-selected slave module can become the fail over master. For example, if the primary master library fails, you can invoke the library system fail-over mode.

Fail-over operation The 4560SLX Tape Library in a multi-module configuration enables one of the slave modules to take over control of the library as a temporary master if the primary master module is not operational. This is referred to as fail-over. The fail-over is a manual procedure that needs to be initiated by an operator, either locally through the touch screen or remotely using Web TLC.
