Features of the redundant power input module include the following: · · · An input voltage range of 90-264 VAC with 20 amps maximum current. A transfer time between 4-13 milliseconds providing for uninterruptible service. Over current protection provided by 20 amp circuit breakers on both sides of each line. Redundant internal cooling fans with faults monitored by the library. · · · · · · An Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS) with a rechargeable battery is integrated into the controller/power bay. If primary power fails, this module provides sufficient 24volt DC bus power to properly terminate all control processes before shutting down the XLS. Due to their high power requirements, tape drives are powered down immediately upon a primary power failure unless an external UPS is provided. The internal UPS module is user replaceable with an expected operational life of approximately five years. UPS protection is typically restored in approximately 10 XLS Library Product Specification 2-9 minutes following the restoration of power. Status LEDs on the UPS module include Primary Power, Charging, Discharging, and Fault. The internal UPS may be changed without interrupting the library operations. 2. 6. 4 Touch Screen and X-Link Interface Each LRM includes a 15-inch, color touch screen. The X-Link interface can be accessed locally from the touch screen or remotely by using one of the Ethernet connectors to attach the XLS to a LAN or the Internet. The interface and available functions are the same regardless of how they are accessed. Permission to access X-Link is maintained and configured by an administrator. Access is password protected. 2. 6. 4. 1 Configuration Wizards X-Link includes two installation and configuration wizards: · The Configure Physical Library wizard simplifies the process of configuring the physical library (that is, the entire XLS system), including network settings and policies. The Create Logical Library wizard assists while creating one or more logical libraries (partitions of the XLS physical system), providing a convenient way for installers to specify and assign information about HBA connections, tape drives, cartridge slots, and I/O ports. · 2. 6. 4. 2 X-Link Home Page The X-Link home page provides information for about status, events, contacts, and a configuration summary. In addition, the home page provides an access point to the following library management tasks: · Logical library tasks, including modifying the resources assigned to each logical library partition, editing administrator information, monitoring events, and opening the I/O ports. Event tasks, including viewing, sorting, and exporting the library's event log. User and user group tasks, including adding and modifying information about library users and setting up permissions for different user groups. Physical library tasks, including viewing hardware status, moving cartridges, locking and unlocking doors, managing tape drives, and shutting down the library. Settings and policies tasks, including managing e-mail, SNMP, and event log settings. Configuration tasks, including managing administrator and network connection information. [. . . ] The Worse Case Times are for moves from the storage slot or tape drive at bottom left corner of the unit to the tape drive or storage slot at the top right corner. · Condition Load drive from slot in LRM Unload drive and return to slot in LRM Load drive from slot in MEM Unload drive and return to slot in MEM Move cartridge from slot in LRM #1 to drive in LRM #2 through MEM Unload cartridge from drive in LRM #2 and return to slot in LRM #1 through MEM Average Time 11 seconds 10 seconds 13 seconds 12 seconds 25 seconds 24 seconds Worst Case Time 17 seconds 16 seconds 21 seconds 20 seconds 33 seconds 32 seconds Table 5-1 Cartridge handling times 5. 2 Scan All Barcodes Table 5-2 lists the typical times required to scan a full complement of data cartridges in the XLS-832700. The table assumes all cartridges use barcode labels and that no retries are needed. Scanning of barcode labels will not commence for 12 seconds after power is turned on. To Scan 465 cartridges in a LRM 665 cartridges in a LRM 1, 066 cartridges in a LRM 535 cartridges in a 85000 MEM 1, 075 cartridges in a 89000 MEM 120 cartridges in an expansion pod Typical Time 270 seconds 385 seconds 620 seconds 300 seconds 600 seconds 50 seconds Table 5-2 Barcode and inventory scanning times XLS Library Product Specification 5-1 6 6. 1 Environmental Specifications Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude Parameter Ambient temperature Temperature gradient (maximum) Relative humidity (non-condensing) Wet bulb temperature Altitude 1.
