Rear Power Switch; Remote Management Unit; Storage Networking Controllers (Sncs); Drive Modules And Filler Plates - ADIC Scalar 100 User Manual

Rear Power Switch

Turning off the rear power switch removes all power from the library. Turn off the rear power switch
whenever you are servicing your library. In the event of danger to personnel or property, immediately turn
off the rear power switch.
However, except in emergencies, use the normal shutdown procedure before switching off the rear power
switch. ADIC is not responsible for damage caused by improper use of the rear power switch. This risk lies
entirely with the user.

Remote Management Unit

The Remote Management Unit (RMU) allows remote access to the library via a web browser. The RMU
resides in each system and is pre-installed at the factory.
The RMU performs the following functions:
• Provides remote operation of all library Operator Panel functions via a Web browser.
• Allows the user to check the status of the system, firmware levels, and other useful information.
• Updates RMU, drive (LTO only), and Library Controller firmware.
• Supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 1.0 and acts as an SNMP-server,
generating SNMP traps and responding to SNMP requests.
• Supports ADIC Library Management Information Base (MIB) version 2.0.
• Detects a power loss and generates an SNMP trap for notification.
• Enables the retrieval of library logs and library, drive, and RMU diagnostic files.
• Allows RMU configuration changes such as network, users, and date/time changes.
• Provides online access to documentation.
For information on using the RMU, see

Storage Networking Controllers (SNCs)

The Scalar 100 offers optional Storage Networking Controllers (SNC) that provide many features. For
example, they increase data transfer rates, enable you to use and manage your library in a Storage Area
Network (SAN) and provide Fibre to SCSI or Gigabit Ethernet to SCSI connectivity.
The available feature set depends on which SNC you integrate into your library. The Scalar 100 supports
the SNC 5101, SNC 6101, and the SNC 4500. To learn more about the available SNCs, visit
or reference the applicable manual(s) on the Scalar 100 product CD.

Drive Modules and Filler Plates

A drive module is the component that holds the drive and the SCSI connections between the drive and the
library. Filler plates cover empty drive slots to prevent debris from entering the library.

Internal Components

The robotic system and magazines are the key internal components of the Scalar 100.
