Page 41: Chapter 3. Installation Planning
Chapter 3. Installation Planning Before installing your library, take time to review the following information. Determining the Number of Logical Libraries You can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the library. Basic Guidelines v Each logical library must contain at least one drive.
Page 42: Using Multiple Logical Libraries For Library Sharing
Path Failover is not supported for half height drives. The Path Failover feature can be installed by the customer. For more information about using the path failover feature, see the Dell PowerVault TL4000 Failover Configuration Guide, included with the library documentation if purchased at point of sale and with the customer kit if purchased later.
Page 43: Library Partitioning And Element Addressing
Library Partitioning and Element Addressing Library 4U systems with firmware versions of .80 and higher, and containing at least 2 drives, have the ability to configure two logical libraries (create two partitions). This partitioning has been expanded with the new library firmware and half-high drive integration.

HD-connectors. SCSI adapters must be properly terminated. Before installing the SCSI cables, inspect all cables for damage. Do not install a cable if it is damaged. Report the damage immediately by contacting Dell customer care. The maximum allowable length of your bus cabling depends on the type of SCSI bus that you use (LVD).
Page 47: Maximum Bus Length Between Terminators
Note: For maximum performance, it is recommended to have a maximum of one drive per SCSI bus. – Only use the maximum system-to-device cable length of 25 m (82 ft) when attaching directly to one device (a point to point interconnection). Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface The library operates as a set of SCSI-3 devices.

The library allows the selection of the following Fibre channel port behaviors: Dell PowerVault TL2000 Tape Library and TL4000 Tape Library User's Guide data rate, but that multiple devices can operate on the bus at that maximum speed. For a detailed table of SCSI terms and related specifications, refer to the SCSI Trade Association Web site at http://www.scsita.org/terms/scsiterms.html.
Page 49 The library uses 50-micron cables internally. Therefore, you must use a 50-micron cable to attach to the library’s port. To attach to a 62.5-micron SAN, you must attach the 50-micron cable to an active port, such as a port on a switch.
