Page 23: Library Robotics
Library Overview Library robotics The library robotics consists of the main components identified in Figure Picker assembly Vertical motor Figure 4: Library robotics The vertical and horizontal motors move the library robotics into position to pick and place tape cartridges, and rotates the optical scanner 180° to allow the library robotics to pass cartridges between the side storage bins and the back storage bins or tape drives.
Page 24: Tape Drives
Library Overview Although the library does not require tape cartridges to have bar code labels, properly labeled tape cartridges and full storage bins speed up the inventory process and greatly improved media management. Tape drives The ESL E-Series tape library can hold up to 24 tape drives. When fewer than 24 drives are installed in the library, the tape drives must occupy consecutive drive clusters, beginning with drive cluster 0 (see Figure 2...

Page 35 Figure 12: Multiple libraries connected to a single management station Tip: HP recommends that you install Command View TL on a single dedicated server (management station) on the LAN. However, it is possible to install Command View TL on multiple servers. In this scenario, if one management station claims a library for management, then that same library cannot be managed by any other management station.

Page 103 Maintenance and Troubleshooting If it doesn't rattle, check the tape leader inside the cartridge. To do this, open the door on the rear of the tape cartridge by releasing the door lock. The tape leader should be visible at the top-left of the tape cartridge. Do not touch the tape leader or the tape medium.
Page 104: Cleaning Tape Drives
Ultrium tape drives have been developed to have a minimal cleaning requirement. An HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge can be used up to 50 times. If you are using an older HP Ultrium cleaning cartridge, check the documentation that came with your media.
Page 105 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Caution: Only use HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridges in Ultrium tape drives. If the cleaning cartridge is ejected immediately, then it has expired or is not an Ultrium cleaning cartridge. Discard it and use a new one.

Page 113: Relocating The Library
Relocating the Library Caution: HP strongly recommends that an HP authorized service representative relocate a library to another location. This appendix explains how to relocate the library. As used in this appendix, the term relocate means either to ship the library or simply to move it to a nearby location (for example, from one area in a building to another).
Page 114: Checking The New Installation Site
Relocating the Library Checking the new installation site Check the new installation site for the library using the guidelines found in the HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Pre-Installation Site Survey Instructions. Make sure the new location meets all applicable clearance, environmental, and power requirements.

Page 179: Glossary
Glossary Glossary This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product and is not a comprehensive glossary of computer terms. Glossary The Additional Sense Code is part of the SCSI-2 specification. The additional sense code (ASC) field indicates further information related to the error or exception condition reported in the sense key field.
Page 180 Glossary CISPR 22 This standard describes the emissions testing methods and test limits for information technology equipment, such as computers, office machines, or telecommunications equipment connected to low - voltage power main networks (<600V). It does not apply to equipment whose primary function is radio transmission or reception as defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Radio Regulations.
Page 181 Low Voltage Differential or LVD is a type of electrical signaling for parallel SCSI and can reach distances up to 12 meters. All SCSI HP Ultrium 460 tape drives are LVD devices. SDLT tape drives can be LVD or HVD devices.
Page 182 Glossary The PCI bus typically runs at speeds of 33 MHz or 66 MHz and is usually 32 bits wide. This means that it passes 32 bits of data simultaneously as if down 32 separate wires. Some of the most recent computers include wider 64-bit PCI buses, and already certain very high-end video capture cards offer improved performance if connected to a 64-bit PCI bus.
Page 183 Glossary Tape drive controllers A device that controls the transfer of data from a host to a tape drive and vice versa. Terabyte A unit of measure for digital data equal to approximately 1,000 gigabytes, or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes! Terminator Special electrical resistors (terminators) are installed in the SCSI devices at each end of the SCSI bus and are not installed in other devices on the bus.
