Introduction 3

Introduction 0

The ATL M1500 tape library can contain up to two tape drives and up

to 21 DLT/SDLT cartridges and 25 LTO cartridge. The ATL M1500

library is controlled by a host computer via a SCSI differential bus

using the SCSI-2 medium changer command set. There is also a RS-232

diagnostic port interface.

The ATL M1500 Prism Architecture™ allows for easy conversion from

the SCSI host interface to a Fibre Channel host interface by installing

the FC310 Router option. This document is provided to end users of

the ATL M1500 library to describe the FC310 Fibre Channel host

interface option.

For a complete description of the ATL M1500 library operating

procedures, see the Quantum ATL M1500 User’s Guide (PN 6421000).

Fibre Channel

Description 0

Fibre Channel is a serial data transfer architecture for use with

computers and mass storage devices. Fibre Channel is rapidly

emerging to challenge SCSI as the interface of choice for host-to-

storage applications.

Fibre Channel advantages include:

• Connection distances with the FC310 option of up to 500 meters

• 1 GB/S data transfer rates

• Support for up to 126 devices on a loop

• Support for 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

• Fibre Channel fabric switches provide full direct connectivity

between all ports on a network, which can increase the total

throughput of all devices on a network.

FC310 Router

Operation 0

Once the FC310 Router SCSI to Fibre Channel option is installed and

tested, the library operates exactly as a ATL M1500 library with a SCSI

host interface. User operation of the library via the graphical user

interface (GUI) panel is unchanged.

4 FC310 Router Option Configuration

Key to Successful

Configuration of the

FC310 Option 0

The FC310 Fibre Channel Option must be configured using the

homebred FC310 Prism Router Services software. The key to

successfully configuring the FC310 Option is to:

• Know exactly how the SCSI cabling in the library is configured

including how many:

aSCSI buses are present in the library

bSCSI devices are connected to each bus

• Use the FC310 Prism Router Services software to create a Map file

identifying which SCSI devices are electrically connected to which

Fibre Channel ports on the FC310 board

Configuration 0This document describes the ATL M1500 configuration procedure with

two tape drives (maximum). To perform this configuration procedure,

proceed to FC310 Router Option Configuration on page 4.

FC310 Router Option Configuration 0

The FC310 Fibre Channel Option must be configured using the FC310

Prism Router Services software.

FC310 Configuration

Procedure 0

The ATL M1500 2-drive FC310 configuration procedure includes the

following steps:

•Confirm the Library’s SCSI Cabling Configuration on page 5

•Connect a Service PC to the Library on page 6

•Start the FC310 Router Services Software on the Library on page 7

•Upgrading the FC310 Prism Firmware on page 7

•Scan the SCSI buses on the Library on page 9

Connect a Service PC to the Library 0

1Locate the RJ45 connector at the bottom of the FC310 Router board

in the ATL M1500 library as shown in figure 2.

Figure 2 FC310 Mounted

in the ATL M1500

2Connect a 9-pin serial cable (PN 6312122) to the RJ45 connector.

3Connect the opposite end of the serial cable to the comm port on a

service PC. For future reference, take note of which comm port you

used on the service PC.

4Turn on the PC.

5Bring up a terminal emulation program on the PC such as

HyperTerminal or ProComm.

6Set the PC comm port operation as follows:

• Baud rate: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Stop bits: 1

•Parity:none

• Flow control: none

Start the FC310 Router Services Software on the Library 0

1Turn on the library or cycle the library power.

2Upon power-up, the POST output scrolls past the PC screen, as

shown in figure 3, and the Prism Router Services software is

immediately available.

3If the initial screen is not displayed, check the PC comm port

settings, then power cycle the library.

4Press <Enter> when POST completes and Ready displays. The PC is

now in command line mode.

Upgrading the FC310

Prism Firmware 0

If a new version of FC310 firmware is available, use the following

procedure to download the new firmware to the FC310 board:

1Copy the new firmware file to a directory on the service PC.

2Set the FC310 baud rate and the HyperTerminal baud rate to

115200 using the following steps. This speeds the firmware

download process.

Note: Check the version level on the POST output. Verify that

the version is the most recent. If a newer version is

available, download the newer version to the service. For

more information, see Upgrading the FC310 Prism

Firmware on page 7.
