Tandberg Data M-Series Remote Management Card Quick Reference Guide This Quick Reference Guide explains how to install the M-Series Remote Management Card (RMC) into a Tandberg Data M-Series tape library. For your convenience, this task has been condensed into a few simple steps. As you perform each step, watch for instructions that specifically address a first-time installation or a field replacement. If you need help with any part of these instructions, please contact Tandberg Customer Support. You can also receive help in the form of a complete set of M-Series library user documents in Portable Document File (PDF) format by going to www.tandberg.com. Once the RMC is installed, it must be configured using instructions found in the Tandberg Data M-Series Remote Management Card User's Guide. This User's Guide and other applicable documentation are available in PDF format on the CD shipped in the Tandberg Data Field Upgrade Kit. NOTE: Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view and print PDF documents. To download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to www.adobe.com. STEP 1: PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT a. If this is a first-time installation, make sure your library has firmware version 3.03 or later. For a complete list of system requirements, refer to the Tandberg Data M-Series Remote Management Card User's Guide, P/N T6473046. b. Make sure you have the tools recommended for this procedure: -- #1 Phillips® screwdriver. -- Slotted screwdriver. -- T10 TORX® screwdriver. (This tool may be required to remove the outer cover of the desktop model of the M-Series library.) P2 P1 Interconnect cable RMC Main Installation/FRU Components c. Take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). These precautions include: -- Wearing a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap. -- Wearing other antistatic apparel (smock, footwear, etc.). -- Handling library components with care and keeping the RMC in its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it. CAUTION: Failure to take adequate antistatic precautions may result in damage to the RMC or other library components. STEP 2: INSTALL THE RMC a. Loosen the two captive screws that secure the card cage to the back of the library. b. Slide the card cage out of the library using the handle. c. Locate the expansion slot on the far righthand side of the card cage. This is on your right as you face the back panel. If this is a first-time installation, remove the slot cover plate and hold-down clamp. To do this, remove the mounting screws securing the cover plate to the card cage and then lift the plate out. Then, remove the screws that secure the hold-down clamp to the side of the card cage. Save the clamp and mounting screws for use later in this installation. Save the cover plate for future use.

M-Series Library Expansion Card Cage If you are replacing an RMC, remove the existing RMC as follows. Disconnect the interconnect cable from the existing RMC and the library serial port. Remove the hold-down clamp screws from the side of the card cage and set the hold-down clamp aside. Remove the screws that secure the RMC to the card cage, and then lift the RMC out of the library expansion slot. Set the RMC and cable that you just removed aside. NOTE: Refer to the Return Material Authorization (RMA) documents shipped with the replacement RMC for the appropriate return procedure. d. Carefully remove the new RMC from its antistatic packaging. Hold the RMC by the edges; avoid contact with RMC components and connectors. e. Insert the RMC into the expansion slot. Press down gently on the card edge until the card is securely seated. f. Secure the RMC to the card cage frame using the two mounting screws removed earlier. Ethernet 0 (ETH 0) Ethernet 1 (ETH 1) Command serial port (RS-232) Diagnostic serial port (RS-232) LEDs Mounting screw Mounting screw g. If you plan to install one or more Fibre Channel bridges (FC310 or FC420), do so now following the instructions found in the Quick Reference Guide shipped with the Fibre Channel bridge. h. Reattach the hold-down clamp to secure the card in the slot. i. Slide the card cage back into the library and secure the cage by tightening the two captive screws. RMC Ports and Indicators STEP 3: ATTACH THE INTERCONNECT CABLE Once you have installed the RMC, attach the interconnect cable from the diagnostic serial port on the RMC to the library serial port. NOTE: The connectors are different sizes; the cable can only be connected in the proper orientation. NOTE: If you are replacing the RMC, be sure to use the new interconnect cable shipped with the replacement RMC. Library serial port (attach P2 cable connector) RMC RMC serial port (attach P1 cable connector) NOTE: For clarity, the interconnect cable is not shown. STEP 4: ESTABLISH A RMC-TO-HOST CONNECTION FOR LIBRARY MANAGEMENT a. Connect an Ethernet cable from the ETH 0 port on the RMC to one of the following: -- A TCP/IP network segment with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server -- A non-DHCP computer directly connected to the RMC using a hub or crossover cable b. Make sure the host computer is turned on. c. Turn on the library. The RMC broadcasts a DHCP request. If you are using a DHCP server, the server will assign an IP address to the RMC. d. Get the IP address assigned to the RMC. If the host computer is on the same network as a DHCP server, go to the DHCP Manager window on the DHCP server and find the IP address assigned to the RMC. As an alternative, you can also obtain this information from the library's operator control panel by selecting Main > QuickView > Library > Network. ETH 0 RMC Ethernet 0 (ETH 0) Port If the host computer is not on a DHCP network, configure the RMC with network information (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway) compatible with the host computer as follows: -- At the operator control panel of the library, select Main > Menu > Config. -- When the Configuration screen appears, scroll down until IP Address is highlighted and then press Select. This causes the first portion of the IP Address to be highlighted. -- Use the Up and Down buttons to increase or decrease the value of the selected portion of the IP address. Then, press Select to jump to the next portion of the IP address. Continue using the Up, Down, and Select buttons to modify the rest of the IP address. Pressing Select after modifying the last portion of the IP address saves the new IP address and highlights the entire parameter. (Be sure to select an available IP address in this same class as the host computer's network.) -- Using the same procedure, select and modify the Subnet Mask and Gateway parameters as appropriate. -- Wait about one minute after modfying these parameters and then restart the library. NOTE: As a third option, you can configure a host computer (such as a laptop) to be compatible with the default static IP address of the RMC. To do this, wait appropriately 30 seconds after starting the library for the DHCP request from the RMC to time out. The RMC then assigns itself the static IP address of 192.168.1.1. Set the following parameters on the host computer: -- IP address: -- Gateway: 192.168.1.2 -- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 default settings for the computer Using a PING command, verify communication between the host computer and the RMC. STEP 5: CREATE SCSI BUSSES AND SCSI-TO-FIBRE CONNECTIVITY If you installed a Fibre Channel bridge, establish SCSI-to-Fibre connectivity as explained in the Quick Reference Guide for the Fibre Channel bridge. STEP 6: CONFIGURE THE RMC Once installed, configure the RMC using the instructions found in the M-Series Remote Managment Card User's Guide, P\N T6473046.
