Note: ApplicationManagedEncryption(AME) does not require a key.
The encryption enabled drive contains the necessary hardware and firmware to encrypt and decrypt the tape application data. Encryption policy and encryption keys are provided by the host application or host server. A directed digital certificate is installed at manufacturing time. Each driver receives a unique serial number and certificate. The T10 application validates each drive instance by checking the drive's digital certificate.
The LTO Ultrium encryption environment is complex and requires knowledge beyond that of product trained Service Support Representatives (SSRs). The Encryption functionontapedrives (desktop, stand-alone, and within libraries) is configured and managed by the customer. In some instances, SSRs are required to enable encryption at a hardware level when service access or service password controlled access is required. Customers setup supports by Field Technical Sales Support (FTSS), customer documentation, and softwaresupportforencryption software problems. Customer's how to support is also provided by way of support line contract.
The encryption-capable library firmware allow the usertoselect None or Application Managed encryption from the WebUser Interface. The factory default is None.

SimpleNetworkManagementProtocol(SNMP)messaging
Occasionally, the library might encounter as ituation that you want to know about, such as an open magazine or a fault that causes the library to stop. The library provides a standard TCP/IP protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to send alerts about conditions (such as need for operator intervention) over a TCP/IPLAN network to an SNMP monitoring station. These alerts are called SNMP traps. With the information supplied each SNMP trap, the monitoring station (together with customer-supplied software) can alert operations personnel of possible problems or operator intervention that occur.
SNMPtraps
SNMPTrapsarealertsorstatusmessagesthatcanbecollected,monitored,and usedtoproactivelymanageattachedlibrarieswithSNMPprotocolwiththeSNMP monitoringstations.Insummary,eachtrapprovidesthefollowinginformation:
- Product Identification such as product name, description, manufacturer, model number, firmwarelevel, and the URL that the trapis designated for.
- Product Status such as the severity of the trap, status (current and previous) and thetimethetrapoccurred.
- Library State (physical device status) such as identification and status of devices that is monitored. It would include enclosure, powersupply, controller, magazine status, drive count, cartridges lot count, and I/O station count. Also included would be certain library statistics, and where appropriate, the fault FSC (fault symptom code) including these severity and description of that fault.
- Drive Status such as the identification of each drive in the library, firmware level, serialnumber, and otheraddressandstatusinformation.
- Trap Definitions such as library status change, open magazine, I/O accessed, hardfaultinformation,requeststocleanthedrive,excessiveretries,and returningtonormaloperations.
- SNMP MIBs: The library's Management Information Base (MIB) contains units of information that specifically describe an aspect of the system, such as the system name, hardware number, or communications configuration. When with SNMP to monitor your TL1000 Tape Autoloader, makes sure that the TL1000 MIB file is loaded by your SNMP monitoring station. SNMP traps a resent to the SNMP monitoring station that are defined for your library (see "Configuring SNMP trap notifications" on page 4-31).

Productenvironment
The TL1000 Tape Autoloader is designed to operate in a general business environment.
The library meets the acoustical requirements for general business area category 2D. Category 2D states that the library can be installed a minimum of 4 m (13 ft.) from a permanent work station.
To allow for service access, install the library a minimum of 0.9m (3 ft.) from all obstacles.
The library is a precision computer peripheral device. To ensure maximum longevity of your library, locate the library away from dust, dirt, and airborne particulates, as follows:
- Keep the library away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted. Carpeting harbors dust and walking on the carpet can cause the carpet fibers and the dust to become airborne.
- Keepthelibraryoutofprinterandcopierroomsbecauseoftonerandpaper dust. Additionally, donotstorepapersuppliesnexttothelibrary.
- Keepthelibraryawayfrommovingaircausedbydoorways,openwindows,fans,andairconditioners.
Ensure that the machine covers are always kept closed to minimize any contamination from airborne particles.

The Operator Panel operates in two basic modes:
- User Interaction mode - Mode that is employed when a user is pushing keys on the Operator Panel.
- System Driven mode - Normal mode of operation where the Operator Panel displays status in response to commands issued from the drive's internal interface.
When an Operator Panel key is pressed and released, the Operator Panel automatically changes to User Interaction mode. User Interaction mode continues until 3 minutes after a user stops pushing keys, or the requested accessor action stops, whichever is longer. Then, the Operator Panel returns to System Driven mode.
If necessary, the Operator Panel automatically changes to System Driven mode. When this change occurs, the library remembers what the user was doing before the display mode changed.
Any operational conflict between commands that are received over the host interface or the Web User Interface and those commands that are entered by way of the Operator Panel are avoided with a reservation mechanism on a first-come, first-served basis. Operator Panel commands are canceled by an Operator Panel logout or timeout.
Library firmware does not allow a user to select an impossible request. Those situations include, but are not limited to -
- Moving a cartridge from any source to a position occupied by another cartridge
- Moving a cartridge from an empty cartridge position
- Loading a cartridge from any source to a full drive
- Unloading a cartridge from an empty drive
Any error that is detected by the library or drive controller and not recoverable through predetermined firmware algorithms is considered unrecoverable. When an error occurs, an error code is displayed on the Operator Panel display and the

Installinginarack
The TL1000 Tape Autoloader can be easily installed into a standard 19-inchrack system. A standard 19-inchrack system contains multiple mounting locations that are called EIA units as defined by the Electronics Industries Association. Each EIA unit contains three square or round hole that are used to mount track designed equipment. The library requires 1 EIA unit (1U) of racks space. Each unit is separated by a small space.
When you decide on a location in your rack forth the library, consider that the Operator Panel has as small LCD screen. The library must be positioned to allow foreasy viewing. There are of the library must be free from any obstruction to allow easy access to the powers switch and other rear panel components.
Note: Before you begin the installation of the library, read the safety information in "Racksafety" on page iii. Also, verify that nodesktop feet are attached to the bottom of the library.

Toensure that your Ultrium Tape Drive conform to Dell's specifications for reliability, use only LTO Ultrium tapecartridges. You might use other LTO-certified data cartridges, but they might not meet the standard of reliability that are established by Dell. The LTO Ultrium Data Cartridge cannot be interchanged with themedia used in other non-LTO Ultrium tape products.

Guidelinesfortheuseofbarcodelabels
Apply the following guidelines whenever using barcode labels:
- Donotreusealabelorreapplyausedlabeloveranexistinglabel.
• Before you apply anewlabel, remove the old label by slowly pulling it at a right angle to the cartridge case.
- Usepeel-cleanlabelsthatdonotleavearesidueaftertheyareremoved.Ifthere isglueresidueonthecartridge,removeitbygentlyrubbingitwithyourfinger. Donotuseasharpobject,water,orachemicaltocleanthelabelarea.
- Examinethelabelbeforeitisappliedtothecartridge.Donotusethelabelifithasvoidsorsmearsintheprintedcharactersorbarcode(alibrary'sinventoryoperationtakesmuchlongerifthebarcodelabelisnotreadable).
- Removethelabelfromthelabelsheetcarefully.Donotstretchthelabelorcause theedgestocurl.
- Position the label within the recessed label area (see 5 in Figure 5-1 on page 5-1).
- Withlightfingerpressure,smooththelabelsothatnowrinklesorbubblesexist onitssurface.
- Verify that the label is smooth and parallel, and has noroll-up or roll over. The label must be flattow within 0.5mm (0.02in.) over the length of the label and havenofolds, missing pieces, or smudges.
- Donotplaceothermachine-readableabelsonothersurfacesofthecartridge. Theymightinterferewiththeabilityofthedrivetoloadthecartridge.
Write-Protectswitch
The position of the write-protect switch on the tapecartridge (see 1) determines whether you can writetothetape. If these switch is set to:
•Thelockedposition (solidred),datacannotbewrittentothetape.
•The unlocked position(blackvoid), data can bewrittentothetape.
If possible, use your server's application software to write-protect your cartridges (rather than manually setting the write-protect switch). This application allows the server's software to identify a cartridge that no longer contains current data and is
eligible to become as scratch (blank) data cartridge. Donot write-protect scratch (blank) cartridges. Thetaped drive cannot writenew datatothem.
If you must manually set the write-protect switch, slide it left or right to the desired position.

Environmentalandshipingspecificationsfortapecartridges
Before you use a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment for 24 hours or the time necessary to prevent condensation in the drive (the time varies, depending on the environment at least most which the cartridge was exposed).
The best storage container for the cartridges (until they are opened) is the original shipping container. The plastic wrapping prevents dirt from accumulating on the cartridges and partially protect them from humidity changes.

The TL1000 Tape Autoloader is a customer replaceable unit (CRU). The customer is responsible for the setup and maintenance of the library. Warranty replacement of the TL1000 Tape Autoloader, if required, is provided by exchanging the old unit with anewunit. The customer is charged for on sites service if as service contracts not in place.

Note: When power cycling the library, wait 10 seconds after the power is switched OFF before the library is powered ON again.
Before you place a service call or inform Dell Technical Support, observe the LEDs on the front panel and errorm messages on the Operator Panel to determine exactly which part is failing. See "Interpreting front panel LEDs" on page 6-8. If the LEDs on all components are functioning properly, see "Diagnosing a problem" on page 6-3
Howthelibraryreportsproblems
The library uses advanced problem detection, reporting, and notification technology to alert customers of problems soon as they occur. It completes numerous self-test stomitor the library's temperature, voltage and currents, and standard library operations. The tests monitor the library when the library is powered ON, and during normal operation when the library is idle.
If the test detects a problem, the library generates messages that identifies which component is likely causing the problem. The library's Error LED and Attention LED might turn ON to indicate an abnormal state. If the problem is not severe, the Attention LED turns ON and the library continues to provide full functionality to the library. If the problem is not recoverable, the Error LED turns ON and an error message is displayed on the Operator Panel.
Whenthelibrarygeneratesanattentioneventoranerrovent,supportstaffcan benotifiedimmediatelybysettingupemaileventnotificationorSNMPtrap notification. ThetypeofeventthatgeneratesemailnotificationorSNMPtrap notificationcanbeselectedtolimitthenumberofeventstoaspecificpriority level.
Customers can frequently resolve simple problem themselves by with the information found in "Diagnosing a problem" on page 6-3. If the problem is unrecoverable, the customer must contact Dell Technical Support (see "Contacting Dell technical support" on page 7-2).

Isolatingproblems
Isolatinglibrarypowerproblems
- Ensure that the power cord is plugged in the powers supply and at the electrical outlet, then turn library power ON. Feel for airthatis flowing out of the cooling fan grill on there are of the library. Power is good if air is flowing from the cooling fan grill.
- If power is not working:
a. Plugthepowercordintoanotherelectricaloutlet.
b. Pluganotherdeviceintotheoutlettotest.
c. If the outlet tests OK, try another power cord.
-
If you verified that the electrical outlet and power cord works properly, but the powersupply is still failing, replacethelibrary.
-
If the powers supply seem to be delivered power to the library; but air does not flow from the power-supply cooling fan grill on there are of the library, replace the library.
Isolatingdriveproblems
- Ensure that the drive firmware is at the latest level (visit http://www.dell.com/support).
- Cyclelibrarypower.
- If the drive is experiencing permanent or temporary errors or if the Clean LED is lit on the front panel of the library, clean the drive.
- RunLibraryVerify.
a. Ifthetestfails, replacethelibrary.
- With the host interface test tool, ITDT, run the Scan function to verify that the host application interface can detect the drive and the library. To further test
theinterfacecommunicationpath, runtheTestDevicefunction, if available, afterthedriveisselected. This function writes and reads data across the interface, also sending a command to the drivetor unthe internal performance read/writetest.
- If the host tool, ITDT, cannot detect the drive or library, look for problem with the host interface cabling, the HBA, the device driver, or the backup application software.
IsolatingWebUserInterfaceproblems
- Verify that you entered the account name and password correctly. The account name and password are case-sensitive.
- Verify that other library users are not entering commands from the Web User Interface or Operator Panel at the same time you are issuing commands.
- Ensure that library firmware is at the latest level (visit http://www.dell.com/support).
- Ensure that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in therear of the library at the Ethernet port.
- Ensure that the correct IP, net mask, and gateway addresses are keyed into the network parameters.
- Ensure that the correct IP address is being used on the web browser.
- If the Ethernet connection is direct connection between the PC and the library, as special "crossover" Ethernet cable is required.
Note: OnnewerPCs, either straight through hor crossover Ethernet cables might be used sincethe crossover requirement is provided internally.
-
ChecktheEthernetcablecarefully(ortryanothercable)and,ifthecableis connectedtoanetworkhuborswitch,tryadifferentport.
-
If the WebUserInterface is still malfunctioning, refer to "Contacting Dell technical support" on page 7-2.
Isolatinghostattachmentinterfaceproblems
Aftersuccessfullyexercising"Isolatingdriveproblems"onpage6-6,andmore specifically"Runninglibraryverifydiagnosticprocedures"onpage4-14fromthe Operator Panel (Service > Library Verify), the following procedures are suggested tohelpisolatethefailuretoproperlyestablishconnectivitytotheHostBusadapter (HBA).
- UsetheITDT-DCRutilitytoevaluateconnectivityfromtheHBAthroughthe cablingtothedrive.ITDT-DCRdoesnotrequireseparatedevicedrivers,thus theOperatingSystemcanscan,andfindalltheLTOdevicesthatareattached.
a. IfITDT-DCR cannot successfully locate the LTODrive, suspectcablingor HBAproblems, and skiptoStep4.
b. IfITDT-DCRsuccessfullylocated theLTOdrive, proceed to Step3. See "ITDT-DCR" on page 7-1 for a brief description of ITDT-DCRand instructions on how to download the tool from the web.
-
If ITDT-DCR successfully locates the LTO devices, verify that the correct application device drivers and backup applications software is properly installed.
-
Ensure that all there required or latest available Operating System file or updates (DLLs, PTFs) are installed and applied.
Installationandconfigurationproblems
Problemsthatareencounteredduringtheinstallationofthelibraryarecausedby improperapplicationsoftwareconfigurationerrorsonanincorrectlyconfigured operatingsystem.Iftheapplicationsoftwarethatyouareusingisnot communicatingwiththelibraryafterinstallation,check:
- Accessor locking screw: Ensure that the accessor locking screw on the rear panel of the library is removed before the library is powered ON. See "Removing the accessor lockingscrew" on page 3-7.
- HBA LUN 0/1 support: A single ID addresses both drive and library since the driveisLUN0andthelibraryisLUN1.ThesemodelsrequireanHBAthat supportsLUNscanning,whichmustbeenabledattheHBA.See"Logica Unit Number(LUN)scanning"onpage1-9.
- Cable connections: Ensure that there are no bent pins on cables and that all connections are securely fastened.
- SAS cables and interposers: Ensure that SAS cables and interposers (if any) are properly attached. See "ConnectingtheHostInterfacecables" on page 3-8.
- Backup application installation: Refer to the documentation included with your backup application software for instructions on how to verify installation.
- Device driver installation: Ensure that the correct device driver, if applicable, is installed forthelibrary.
Note: Many backup applications usetheirowndriversforthelibraryanddrive. Beforeadriverisinstalled, makesurethatitisnotinconflictwiththe software.Contactyourbackupapplicationvendorforthisinformation.

The descriptions below serve only as an overview of sense reporting in the tape drive. This tape drive conforms to all sense field reporting as specified in the SCSI standards.
- The Error Code field (Byte 0) is set to 70h to indicate a current error, that is one associated with the most recently received command. It is set to 71h to indicate a deferred error which is not associated with the current command.
-
The segment number (Byte 1) is zero since the Copy, Compare, and Copy and Verify commands are not supported.
-
TheFileMarkflag(Byte2, bit7)issetifaSpace, Read, or Verifycommand did not complete because a file mark was read.

- The Illegal Length Indicator (ILI) flag (Byte2, bit5) is set if a Reader Verify ended because a block was read from tapethat did not have the block length requested in the command.
- TheInformationBytes(Bytes3-5)areonlyvalidiftheValidflagisset.This occursonlyforcurrenterrorsandnotfordeferrederrors.

SmallComputerSystemsInterface(SCSI)
Astandardthatisused by computer manufacturers for attaching peripheral devices (such as fasted drives, hard disks, CD-ROM players, printers, and scanners) to computers (servers). Pronounced "scuzzy". Variations of the SCSI interface provide for faster data transmission rates than standard serial and parallel ports (upto 320 megabytes per second). The variations include:
- Fast/WideSCSI:Usesa16-bitbus,andsupportsdataratesofupto20 MBps.
•SCSI-1:Usesan8-bitbus,andsupportsdataratesof4MBps.
- SCSI-2:SameasSCSI-1,butusesa50-pinconnectorinsteadofa25-pin connector,andsupportsmultipledevices.
- UltraSCSI:Usesan8-or16-bitbus,andsupportsdataratesof20or40 MBps.
- Ultra2SCSI:Usesan8-or16-bitbusandsupportsdataratesof40or80 MBps.
- Ultra3SCSI:Usesa16-bitbusandsupportsdataratesof80or160 MBps.
