Understanding the Major Components
The StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library 1-5
The power button, status LEDs for the library, and the library locator LED lie to the
upper left of the operator panel.
The rear of the base module holds the cabling and provides service access to drives
and power supplies.
The upper right corner of the rear panel (when facing the rear of the base module),
holds
two, Ethernet, NET MGT ports and nine MODULE OUTPUT ports for the
module interconnect cables.
The upper NET MGT port, 0 (Port 1 on the browser-based user interface), supports
browser-based user interface connections via the local area network (LAN). It is fully
configurable. The lower NET MGT port, 1 (Port 2 on the browser-based user interface),
is a service port on a private network local to the library. The service port can be
enabled or disabled but cannot be reconfigured.
One or, optionally, two hot-swappable power
supplies reside under the cabling ports
in the lower right corner of the rear panel. One or two half-height LTO drives are
installed to the left of the power supplies on the center line of the chassis. Both drives
and power supplies have their own status LEDs. Status LEDs for the library and
robotics are visible at center top.
The rear of the expansion module provides service access to the module controller at
uppe
r right, the drives in the middle, and the power supplies at lower right. The
module controller holds the MODULE INPUT port for the module interconnect cable
and the status LEDs for the module.
