• Specifications Overview Overview The ODS-L30M PetaSite Master Unit is a library master unit that holds up to two optional ODS-D77F/ODS-D280F optical disc archive drive units (hereinafter referred to as drive units) and up to 30 optical disc archive cartridges. By installing an ODBK-103 expansion kit (not supplied) to the ODS-L30M master unit, the PetaSite can be linked to multiple expansion units, allowing you to expand the system according to your needs. By efficiently allowing read/write of data on multiple optical disc archive cartridges, the ODS-L30M allows you to streamline the archiving of data materials and the retrieval of archived data materials (by uploading to a server). The extension units include the ODS-L60E PetaSite drive and ODS-L100E PetaSite cartridge extension units. The ODS-L60E holds up to four optional drive units (ODS-D77F/D280F) and up to 61 optical disc archive cartridges. The ODS-L100E holds up to 101 optical disc archive cartridges. The ODS-D77F/ODS-D280F drive units that can be mounted in the ODS-L30M and ODS-L60E are specifically designed for use with the ODS-L30M/L60E. In addition, their Fibre Channel support allows for high- speed processing. You can also install an ODBK-201 optional power supply in the ODS-L30M or ODS-L60E to provide redundancy and allow the same hot swapping capabilities that are available with drive units. Doing so provides continuous operation in the event one of the power supply units or drive units fail in systems that require a high degree of reliability. In this manual, the PetaSite (including the master unit and all additional extension kits or extension units) on which the drive units are installed will be referred to as “the unit,” and the optical disc archive cartridges will be referred to as “cartridges.”43 Overview System Configuration Example The following types of systems can be constructed using the unit in combination with related equipment.

• Deleting files from the media will not increase the available storage space for either write-once or rewritable type cartridges.

• In the case of write-once type cartridges, pay attention to the following points. - Reformatting the media will not increase the available storage space. - Repetitive file writing will consume the available writable space (for writing the media management data, etc.) on the media. If there is no available writable space on the media, file writing may be disabled, even if sufficient storage space remains. - No file can be written after the media is finalized.

• For ODC3300R cartridges, the number of files that can be created is 480,000. For cartridges other than the ODC3300R, you can select the maximum number of files that can be created (60,000 or 240,000) when you format the cartridge.

• When you reformat write-once media, the previous maximum number of files that can be created (480,000 for ODC3300R cartridges, 60,000 or 240,000 for other cartridges) will carry over. However, you can reselect the maximum number of files that can be created when you reformat rewritable media.

• For cartridges other than the ODC3300R, if you select 240,000 as the maximum number of files that can be created during formatting, the rate of successful repair for the file repair function will be lower than when 60,000 is selected.

• Read-only cartridges cannot be formatted on the ODS- D280F.

• Do not insert ODC3300R cartridges into the ODS-D77F. Inserting a cartridge may damage the unit. Notes on Handling Handling The cartridge houses multiple discs in a shell, and is designed to allow handling free of risk from dust or fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected to a severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can result in damage or scratching of the discs. If a disc is scratched, it may be impossible to write data, or to read the data written on the disc. The cartridge should be handled and stored carefully.

• Do not remove any discs from the cartridge.

• Do not disassemble the cartridge.

• If the disc order in a cartridge is changed, or other discs are substituted, the cartridge will no longer be recognized by the unit and cannot be used.

• The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for indexing cartridges. Apply the label in the correct position. Storage

• Do not store cartridges where they may be subjected to direct sunlight, or in other places where the temperature or humidity is high.

Be sure to remove the drive unit from this unit before proceeding to transportation. Care of the unit If the body of the unit is dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish of the unit. In the event of operating problems If you should experience problems with the unit, contact your Sony service or sales representative. Use and storage locations Store in a level, ventilated place. Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places.

• In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature range: 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)) Remember that in summer or in warm climates the temperature inside a car with the windows closed can easily exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

• In damp or dusty locations

• Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain

• Locations subject to violent vibration

• Near strong magnetic fields

• Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong electromagnetic fields.

• In direct sunlight or close to heaters for extended periods To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communications devices The use of portable telephones and other communications devices near this unit can result in malfunctions. It is recommended that the portable communications devices near this unit be powered off. Condensation If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage the unit. Parts Replacement The carrier (transport mechanism) is a consumable part that will need periodic replacement. When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about every five years. However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer. LCD Over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction. Precautions for Drive Units Shocks and vibrations Do not subject the drive units to excessive shock or vibration, as doing so may result in damage to the drive units. If a cartridge is inserted in a drive unit while it is subjected to shock or vibration, the disc may also be damaged.66 Important Notes on Operation Shipping and transportation of the drive unit If the drive unit is shipped or transported with the cartridges inserted, the drive unit or the disc may become damaged. Always remove the cartridges when shipping or transporting the drive unit. Do not lift the drive unit with your hand inside in the cartridge insertion slot. Doing so may deform the lid, and adversely affect function and performance. File read time

• When accessing multiple files at the same time, disc swapping may occur frequently. This will reduce the data transfer rate and increase the total time of operation significantly.

• When accessing a single file, disc swapping may also occur, depending on the recording position in the cartridge. This will take time before starting to read the file. File write time When writing a large number of small-sized files (e.g., 100 MB or smaller) consecutively, writing may take some time to complete. In such cases, setting the operation mode to “Synchronize management data to the media immediately after completion of file writing: Off” increases the write performance and media efficiency. However, if a malfunction (e.g., power supply failure) occurs during a write operation, the possibility of file recovery is lowered. Replacing the air filter (ODS-D280F) If the air filter replacement alarm (3F-511) occurs while using the ODS-D280F, replace the air filter immediately. Continued use in this state may cause read/write errors and may lead to failure. The air filter replacement schedule will vary with the usage environment. Before replacing the air filter, always eject all cartridges from the unit and power off the unit. For details about the air filter replacement procedure and actions after replacement, refer to the Installation Manual supplied with the replacement air filter. For details about obtaining an air filter and air filter replacement, consult your local Sony service or sales representative. (Parts available from July, 2017) Long-term loading of cartridges Eject the cartridges from the drive unit if the drive unit will be connected to a server for lengthy intervals without reading or writing data. The drive unit may be accessed, depending on the software installed on the server, even if you do not intentionally read or write. This may lead to early replacement of the optical head or may adversely affect the media.
