Introduction
System configuration
Connect various ports of the unit to a power source and server according to the functions to be used.
≥When adding Extension Modules (with the Writer Unit), they need to be added in increments of two. Connect two SAS cables
(straight) and one SAS cable (branch) to each pair of Extension Modules to be added.
Peripheral devices
Apart from the DATA ARCHIVER and SAS cables, prepare the
following:
≥Converter
`Panasonic, Model number: LB-XACVU0
≥19-inch rack (>5)
≥External power supply (DCi12 V, DCi24 V)

Introduction System configuration

Install in racks that meet the following conditions.
≥
Use a standard 19
-i
nch rack that conforms to EIA standards.
≥
A rack with a depth of at least 1000 mm (39.4
q
) is recommended.
≥Use a server rack (must have front and rear panel mount
frames and square mounting holes).
≥
Use a rack with panel mount frames with universal spacing mounting holes.
≥Use a rack with panel mount frames whose mounting holes
are of ∏ 9.3 mm
(0.4
q
)
or more.
≥Use a rack with panel mount frames with a flatness within
0.5 mm
(0.02
q
)
at the front of the rack so that connections
between apparatuses can be maintained.
≥
Use a rack with panel mount frames with mounting accuracy
(dimension D) of within ±2 mm
(
±
0.1
q
)
at the front of the rack so
that connections between apparatuses can be maintained.
≥Use a rack with a height of at least 16U (Base Module (LB-
DH70A): 6U, Bottom Module (LB-DF81): 4U, Extension
Module (with
the Writer Unit
) (LB-DF72A): 6U).
≥
Use a rack with a weight bearing capacity that exceeds the
overall weight of the modules to be mounted. (Refer to the
"Cautions for regulations and safety" booklet included with the
modules for their weights. Refer to the operating instructions
for other devices to be mounted for information about them.)
≥Install the panel mount frames so that the ones on the front
and rear sides are 660 mm
(
26.0q
)
to 790 mm
(
31.1q
)
apart.
≥Install the drawer-side’s panel mount frames so that the
distance between an imaginary line formed by these frames
and an imaginary line extending horizontally from the
projection on the inner surface of the rack’s drawer-side
door will be 55 mm (2.2q) to 115 mm (4.5q). (The frames can
be adjusted in 3 steps at 20 mm (0.8q) intervals)
≥Magazine drawers can jump out up to a maximum of 90 mm
(3.5q) when they open. Depending on the specifications of
the rack, it may not be possible for the door to be opened
when this happens, so this should be checked.

Introduction
Component names
APower button [Í/I]
Pressing the button causes the unit to be turned on and its
LED illuminates in green.
≥When the button is pressed and held for at least 4 seconds
(but less than 10 seconds), the LED will flash fast in green
and the magazine carrier unit will be stored in the Bottom
Module. When it is stored completely, the LED will flash
slowly in green.
≥Although it is possible to force the unit to turn off by pressing
and holding this button for at least 15 seconds, in normal
circumstances, turn it off by controlling it from the server
connected to the unit to prevent problems such as data loss
and server shutdown. When the unit is forced to turn off, the
magazine carrier unit will not be stored in the Bottom
Module.
≥The power button is not present on the drawer side panel.
≥Even if the unit is turned off, a part of its circuitry remain on.
BPower connector
