Page 16: Introduction
Introduction The Spectra 12000 library provides a combination of high reliability, speed, large capacity, ease of use, and built-in redundancy to minimize or eliminate downtime. The Spectra 12000 library’s features include: Š Hot swappable tape drives—you can easily switch drives without tools and without interrupting other backups.
Page 17: About The Gator Architecture
Both the Spectra 12000 and Spectra 64000 libraries utilize the Gator™ architecture for robotic tape libraries developed by Spectra Logic. Gator architecture in the Spectra 12000 library can be configured with 60 to 120 cartridges and from two to eight tape drives. Gator architecture in the Spectra 64000 library can be configured with up to 640 cartridges and 32 tape drives in a single rack.
Page 18: Option Enablement
Spectra 12000 User Guide Option Enablement Spectra Logic has added a new feature to the Spectra 12000 library called Option Enablement. Option Enablement allows the user to add several functions to their library: CoD™ is a capacity on demand system that allows you to add library storage capacity in increments as small as 15 slots, virtually instantaneously.

Release Notes: Spectra 12000, Spectra 64000, as directed. On the back of the Spectra 12000 library, you’ll find the On/Off switch, power cable socket, and the ports for SCSI, Fibre Channel, or Ethernet cables.
Page 28 The LCM connects to the QIPs and robotics via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. CAN is a super-robust, low-noise bus technology. Spectra Logic’s CAN bus eliminates a QIP as a single point of failure. If a single QIP fails, other QIPs can be configured to take over.

Page 30: Preparing A Controlled Environment
Environmental extremes cause erratic operation and possible failures. The Spectra 12000 library is typically mounted in a rack. Make sure the temperature in the rack does not exceed the maximum ambient operating temperature of the library and that the library is well ventilated with adequate air flow at all times.

Page 32: Connecting The Scsi Cables And Terminators
Connecting the SCSI Cables and Terminators After you have placed the library carefully and prepared it for operation, you are ready to connect the Spectra 12000 library to the host bus. There are four 68-pin micro-SCSI connectors per S-QIP or L-QIP on the rear panel to connect the library to the system SCSI buses.
Page 33: Connecting The Fibre Channel Cables
The GBIC ports are labeled Fibre Chnl A and Fibre Chnl B. The Spectra 12000 library has one of two different kinds of GBICs, either optical with an SC connector or copper wire with an HSSDC serial connector as specified when ordered.
Page 34 Figure 2-2 Optical cable for SC GBIC connector. Figure 2-4 SC GBIC connector. To attach the Fibre Channel cables: 1. Consult the documentation for your host operating systems and Fibre Channel adapter cards for information on adding new devices. In particular, look for details on creating and configuring device files or drivers, and whether your system must be restarted before using new devices.
Page 35: Connecting The Ethernet Cables
5. Connect the AC power cord supplied with the Spectra 12000 library to the AC connector on the rear of the library. Connect the other end to a 110V AC outlet. 6. Put in the drive sleds, if they are not already installed. See Adding Drives on page 144 for more information.

Page 66: About Taos
The Spectra Logic TAOS operating system architecture is an innovative approach to sharing tape backup resources among hosts. The TAOS enabled Spectra 12000 E-QIP has an ethernet interface and the ability to enable one of two components: TAOS ITP or TAOS NDMP.
Page 67: Sharing Tape Devices
Access to TAOS NDMP functionality is also password protected--any NAS host wishing to write to the Spectra 12000 library must authenticate themselves with the correct username and password. This is also generally set up in the backup software.
Page 68: Connecting To The Serial Port
This chapter will guide you through the installation process for TAOS ITP and TAOS NDMP, using both interfaces. Both are described in further detail in the appendices. Connecting to the Serial Port Connect a serial cable to the E-QIP diagnostic port, labeled DIAG 1, with a serial port terminal emulation application like HyperTerminal running on a host computer.

Page 142: Changing The Spectra 12000 Library Air Filters
Changing the Spectra 12000 Library Air Filters Spectra 12000 libraries have three replaceable filters inside the front door. Inspect filters every three to four months and replace as necessary. If a filter is contaminated, replace it with a new filter. A clogged air filter blocks air movement within the library, resulting in higher temperatures inside the library.
Page 143 7. Slide the filter assembly up and out from the door to disengage the four metal hooks. 8. Inspect the filter and replace it if necessary. 9. Remove the old filter by pulling it out from under the six tabs on the filter bracket.
Page 144: Adding Drives
Adding Drives The Spectra 12000 library readily accepts additional drives up to a maximum of eight drives. Although robotic operations are disabled when the front door is open, the library continues operation while you add or remove a drive. No tools are required.
Page 145 7. Use the door key to open the library door. 8. Slide the new drive into the appropriate slot for the QIP it will be attached to. Figure 11-3 Adding a drive. 9. Press the drive firmly inward until the LED lights and position it so it is flush with the right side of the library chassis.
