4 Description

The Scalar 24 is the next-generation, entry-level/mid-range product to meet the standards of ADIC

customers. You can order the SCSI drive option or the fibre drive option. An additional drive sled can be

added to double throughput and/or partition the library to multiple hosts. The ability to expand the Scalar 24

makes it an excellent investment. Mixed generation drive support is also available for LTO. For example, an

LTO-3 drive and an LTO-2 drive can coexist in a single library. The library also comes standard with a

barcode scanner that provides instant media verification and inventory. An optional Remote Management

Unit (RMU) can be added for centralizing your data backup control. Finally, the available Storage

Networking Controllers (SNCs) offer many features, such as the ability to manage your library in a Storage

Area Network (SAN) and the ability to convert Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet protocol to parallel SCSI

protocol.

Features

The following features are standard with your Scalar 24:

Multi-function Operator Panel. The operator panel, located on the right above the I/E slot, provides an

easy-to-read bitmap display and a five-button keypad to permit you to monitor and control the operations of

your library. The liquid crystal display (LCD) provides access to library status, commands, setup, and tools.

Refer to Front Panel Components

on page 5 for more information. The operator panel is described in more

detail in Operator Panel Keypad

on page 39.

Robotic System. The robotic system is the media cartridge handling mechanism and responds to

commands from the application software to move the cartridges between the storage slots, tape drives, and

the I/E slot.

Partitioning. Partitioning enables your single Scalar 24 library to be logically partitioned so it appears to a

host as if it were two independent physical libraries. Each logical library (partition) can be independently

controlled as though it were two different libraries.

I/E Slot. The I/E slot allows you to import and export tapes to the interior slots and drives without unlocking

the media access door. Refer to Interior Components

on page 6 for more information. The I/E slot may also

be configured by the user to act as a data storage slot.

Magazines. Removable cartridge magazines allow for the easy insertion and removal of tape cartridges.

System Integrity. The cartridge storage slots, drives, and robotic system are protected by a door that is

lockable by key. Your library can also be configured for password access.

Cartridge Inventory. Whenever you power up your Scalar 24, it performs a physical inventory of slots.

Barcode Scanner. The barcode scanner reads barcode labels and presents label IDs to the LCD and the

host without losing storage capacity.

Manual Cartridge Use. Individual cartridges can easily be transported to the library by manually opening

the I/E door and inserting the cartridge into the I/E slot. The operator panel is then used to load the cartridge

into another slot.

Reverse Cartridge Protection. The magazines, I/E Slot, and rear storage slots employ a design that

prevents the cartridges from being inserted incorrectly.

Built-in Diagnostics. Your Scalar 24 includes diagnostic firmware that alerts you when drive cleaning is

required, reports diagnostic results, and drive operating status. Your library also includes real-time

monitoring of data locations and several types of diagnostic tests.

AutoClean. AutoClean enables the library to automatically clean the drives when cleaning is required.

Error Diagnosis. Your Scalar 24 includes an Error Log that is accessible from the operator panel. An output

log, available through the serial port, contains errors, diagnostic messages, and events.

24 Hour Fast Exchange. In the event your Scalar 24 needs to be serviced and you are unable to resolve

the problem with the ADIC Technical Assistance Center, ADIC will provide you with a next business day

advanced exchange to minimize down time.
