Introduction 3

Introduction 0

The Quantum PX500 Series automated tape libraries are controlled by a host

computer via a SCSI LVD bus using the SCSI-3 medium changer command

set.

The Quantum PX500 Series allows for easy conversion from the SCSI host

interface to a Fibre Channel host interface. This document describes

upgrading a standard PX500 library equipped with a SCSI host interface to a

Fibre Channel host interface using a FC1202 Upgrade kit.

Fibre Channel

Description 0Fibre Channel is a serial data transfer architecture for use with computers and

mass storage devices that is rapidly emerging to challenge SCSI as the

interface of choice for host-to-storage applications.

Fibre Channel advantages include:

• Connection distances with the Quantum FC1202 option up to 500 meters

• 1 GB/Sec, 2 GB/Sec, or autosense data transfer rates

• Supports up to 126 devices in a loop mode

• Supports 24-bit addressing for over 16 million devices in point-to-point

mode or fabric, when using a Fibre Channel switch or multiple Fibre

Channel switches.

• Operating system independence

• Interconnect flexibility

FC1202 Bridge

Operation 0Once a FC1202 bridge option is installed and tested, the library operates

exactly as a PX500 Series with a SCSI host interface. Operation of the library

via the operator control panel (OCP) is unchanged.

4 Preparing for the FC1202 Installation

Preparing for the FC1202 Installation 0

Before beginning the installation procedure, make sure that you have the

required upgrade kit and tools.

Required Upgrade Kits 0The FC1202 installation requires the following upgrade kit for every two tape

drives in a PX500 Series library (see table 1):

Table 1 FC1202 Upgrade

Kit PN PR-UU9CF-YF

Required Equipment

(Customer Supplied) 0A zonable Ethernet switch is required if multiple FC1202 Fibre Channel

bridges are installed in either a PX506 or PX510 library. If a single FC1202

Fibre Channel bridge is installed, an Ethernet switch is not required.

Required Tools 0The following tools are required to install the FC1202 bridge upgrade:

• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

FC1202 Upgrade Procedure 0

The upgrade procedure is identical regardless of the number of FC1202s

installed except where noted. The upgrade procedure consists of the

following major steps:

•Preparing the Quantum PX500 Series Library

•Removing Tape Drive SCSI Jumper Cables

•Installing the FC1202 Bridge

•Installing the Ethernet Cables

•Installing SCSI Jumper Cables

Note: All part numbers are subject to change without notice.

Preparing the

Quantum PX500

Series Library 0

To prepare the PX500 Series library:

1With the library turned on, press the Ops button on the OCP to access the

Operations screen (see figure 1).

Figure 1 Operations

Screen

2Select Library operations and press Enter.

3From the library operations menu, select Library on/offline and press Enter

to turn the library offline.

4Verify that the OCP display indicates “Offline” from the OCP screen.

5Turn off the power button located on the front of the library (see figure 2).

6 FC1202 Upgrade Procedure

Removing Tape Drive

SCSI Jumper Cables 0Each pair of tape drives within the library are connected via a SCSI jumper

cable. These cables must be removed prior to cabling the FC1202.

1Locate the SCSI jumper cables connecting each pair of tape drives in the

library and the host systems (see figure 3 for PX502, figure 4 for PX506,

and figure 5 for PX510). The tape drives are numbered 1 through 10

(depending on library model) starting in the top-left drive bay. Tape drive

1 is in the upper right-hand drive bay, tape drive 2 is in the upper left-

hand drive bay, and so forth. Refer to the following illustrations for exact

tape drive numbering.

FC1202 Upgrade Procedure 9

Installing the FC1202

Bridge 0The number of FC1202 bridges required depends on the number of tape

drives installed in the library.

• 1 to 2 tape drives requires 1 FC1202

• 3 to 4 tape drives requires 2 FC1202 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)

• 5 to 6 tape drives requires 3 FC1202 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)

• 7 to 8 tape drives requires 4 FC1202 bridges (PX510 only)

• 9 to 10 tape drives requires 5 FC1202 bridges (PX510 only)

To install the FC1202 bridge:

1Loosen the two PHILLIPS screws securing the blank off plate(s) to the

CPCI card cage and expose the number of slots needed for the FC1202

installation (one blank off plate per FC1202).

2With the SCSI ports located to your right as you face the back of the

library, slide the first FC1202 into the slot of the card cage (see figure 6 for

PX502, figure 7 for PX506, and figure 8 for PX510).

Note: Start the FC1202 installation in slot 1 of the CPCI card cage

(PX506 and PX510 only).
