CHAPTER 1  
PRODUCT OVERVIEW  
General Information  
The D875 - D2175 libraries make multiple CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, and DVD-RW media  
available to computer systems for reading and writing using Multi Drive technology. These libraries are  
scalable with capacities ranging from 750 to 2175 media. A media transport element (MTE) with a dual  
picker makes rapid media exchanges and provides high performance in a multi-user environment. A  
patented Rotation Station™ allows use of both single and double sided media.  
Library Models  
This manual covers the following Plasmon libraries:

2050 to 2175  
2 to 12  
The number of media slots varies because adding a drive module, which holds two drives, subtracts 25  
media storage slots.  
Command Processing  
The library responds to SCSI commands from a host computer system to load and unload drives, and  
move media within the library.  
Media Movement  
The media transport element (MTE) is used to move media between the media storage area and the  
drives or the I/E port. To speed the process, the MTE can hold two pieces of media simultaneously.  
Bulk Loading and Unloading Media  
Bulk loading and unloading of media is performed by using the ten slot magazines, and the Bulk Load  
Library and Bulk Unload Library front panel menu options.

Media and Magazine Handling  
To maintain maximum system reliability, the operator should take the time to inspect and clean each  
magazine before loading into the library.  
CAUTION  
Always condition the media to the normal operating temperature  
of the room before using them.  
Improper handling or an inappropriate environment can damage the media, the magazine, or media  
trays. To ensure continued reliability, observe the following:  
•
•
•
When loading a magazine into the library or when handling a magazine, ensure that the case is  
clean. Dirty magazines can cause problems in loading or the loss of written data.  
Do not load damaged media trays into a magazine or the library. Damaged media trays can  
interfere with system robotics.  
Do not expose the media to moisture or direct sunlight.  
NOTE  
Plasmon can not guarantee error free library operation if media is  
not purchased from Plasmon.  
Plasmon supplied media are packaged in a clean room and  
quality inspected to ensure error free library operation.

SCSI Connection  
Turn the library’s power switch to the off position prior to connecting the SCSI interface.  
The library requires a host computer with a dedicated LVD SCSI host bus adapter (HBA). Ensure that  
the library is powered off prior to connecting the SCSI cables.  
The SCSI cable passes through the bottom of the library into the appropriate SCSI connector inside  
the front door of the library.  
CAUTION  
Ensure the host computer provides an LVD SCSI interface. HVD  
SCSI is not compatible with LVD SCSI. If an improper connection  
is made, damage to the library or connected equipment could  
result.

Loading Media  
There are two methods for loading media into the D875 - D2175 libraries:  
•
High Speed Bulk Loading (recommended): This method is intended as the first time solution to  
mass load the library with media when the library is off-line. This method utilizes all six magazine  
slots to load the library.  
•
I/E Port Magazine Loading: This is intended for importing and exporting up to ten pieces of media  
in a removable magazine while the library is on-line.  
When loading the library for the first time, use the high speed bulk loading method described below:  
1. Turn on the power.  
2. From the front panel menu select Set Up Library>Offline Operations>Bulk Load Library.  
3. Open the library front door and the magazine access door. Note that when the Bulk Load  
Library option is selected, the magazine door opens.  
4. Place a pre-loaded magazine in each magazine slot (magazine 1 through magazine 6).  
5. When the green LED goes out, remove the appropriate empty magazine and install the  
next full magazine.

ERROR CODES  
If an error occurs while on-line, the library retries the operation that failed. If the retried operation fails,  
the library attempts to return the media to its location before the operation and sends an error code to  
the host computer. This error code is displayed on the front panel display of the library.  
The following error codes are provided to assist in detecting and finding the corrective action for a  
library error. Note the error code number displayed on the front panel display, and find the  
corresponding error code in the following table. The table is sorted by error code number.  
CAUTION  
The corrective actions shown in the error code table should only  
be performed by qualified Plasmon trained personnel.
