  • Page 15: Introduction

    Introduction The HP StorageWorks MSL5000 series library is a tape library system that combines Digital Linear Tape (DLT), Super DLT (SDLT), and LTO (Linear Tape-Open) drive technology with advanced robotics. Designed for backup operations with high-end networks and high-performance servers, the library is the next generation performer in high-volume backup and archival service.
  • Page 16: Models

    • MSL5060L1 Any MSL5000 series library can operate as a standalone unit or can be installed in a rack to form a larger integrated multi-unit library configuration. MSL5026/MSL5030 libraries contain up to two tape drives, two removable tape cartridge magazines, and robotics capable of random or sequential tape cartridge operation.
  • Page 17: Tape Drives

    Introduction Tape Drives MSL5000 series libraries support up to four tape drives (see Figure 1–1). SCSI I/O is accomplished through two VHDCI-series, 68-pin, Micro-D SCSI connectors located at the rear of the library directly beneath each tape drive. Figure 1–1: Library tape drive locations...
  • Page 18: Magazines

    Introduction Magazines MSL5000 series libraries contain two or four removable tape cartridge magazines that are accessible through the front doors (see Figure 1–2). Figure 1–2: Library magazines Left Magazine(s), with integrated mail slot Right Magazine(s) Looking from the front of the library, each left tape magazine includes a mail slot, which is accessible when that magazine door is open.
  • Page 19: Power Supplies

    Introduction Power Supplies MSL5000 series libraries support one or two power supplies that are accessible from the rear of the unit (see Figure 1–3). These auto-ranging power supplies are capable of using any nominal AC voltage between 100 VAC and 240 VAC power, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and are easily removed without requiring special tools.

  • Page 21: Robotics

    Introduction Robotics MSL5000 series library robotics consist of a cartridge shuttle, motor hardware, motor drives, and other support electronics (see Figure 1–4). The MSL5052MSL5060 library also contains a vertical axis mechanism that enables the robotics to travel between the upper and lower tape cartridge magazines. These robotics are capable of picking and placing tapes throughout a 180-degree arc that consists of the tape drives, tape cartridge magazines, and an optional Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM).
  • Page 22: Library Controller Board

    IMPORTANT: For MSL5000 series libraries, the library controller board must be installed in the right slot of the card cage area (upper card cage area for the MSL5052/MSL5060). The remaining slots on the MSL5000 series libraries do not support the required connections for the library controller board to operate correctly.
  • Page 23: Factory-Defined Accessory Pci Slots

    Introduction Factory-Defined Accessory PCI Slots MSL5000 series libraries contain one or two rear-access card cages and one or two 32-bit, 33-MHz Compact PCI backplanes (see Figure 1–6). These backplanes contain the plug-in connectors for a library controller board and up to five optional HP-defined PCI add-in cards.
  • Page 24: Embedded Fibre Channel Board

    Introduction Embedded Fibre Channel Board Some models of the MSL5000 series libraries ship with an optional embedded Fibre Channel board in the slot next to the library controller board. This board enables connectivity between MSL5000 series libraries and Fibre Channel based storage area networks (SANs), allowing them to be attached to either a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) or switched fabric.
  • Page 25: Multi-Unit Library Systems

    Introduction Multi-Unit Library Systems MSL5000 series libraries can be stacked in a scalable combination with additional MSL5026/MSL5030 and MSL5052/MSL5060 libraries to form a multi-unit library configuration. Through use of a rear-mounted Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM), all libraries in a multi-unit library configuration can operate together as a single virtual library system.
