AC GROUND  
The LF 6600 chassis should be connected to earth ground for operator safety. The AC power cord has a  
grounding conductor which connects the LF 6600 chassis to safety ground through the site AC power  
system. If the site AC system ties its ground wire connection to earth ground, then the LF 6600 chassis will  
also be tied to earth ground. All site AC power connections must be maintained on the same safety  
ground.  
A line grounding connector located on the rear panel can also be used to tie the LF 6600 chassis to earth  
ground. This ground connector is a 6-mm (0.24-in.) M4 with a nut and lock washer.  
AC POWER CORD  
The type of AC power cord supplied with the LF 6600 will depend upon the configuration ordered.  
POWER SUPPLY OUT-OF-RANGE PROTECTION FEATURES  
The LF 6600 power supply provides over and under voltage protection, over current protection, power  
failure detection and over temperature protection. Should an out-of-range condition be detected, the LF  
6600 will shut down the DC outputs of the power supply. For example, if the internal temperature of the  
power supply reaches 80° C +/- 5° C (176° F +/- 9° F), the power supply is shut down. After the situation  
is corrected, power can be restored by turning the AC power switch to the off position and then to the on  
position again.  
TILT RANGE  
The LF 6600 is not designed for use when tilted from the vertical position.  
HEAT DISSIPATION  
The drive will typically present a heat load of 146 kg-calories/hr (580 BTU/hr) during a read/write operation.  
When media cartridges are inserted, loaded, spun up, spun down, unloaded and removed at the drive's  
maximum rate, the LF 6600 will typically present a heat load of 182 kg-calories/hr (725 BTU/hr).  
PARTICULATE LIMITS  
The LF 6600 is designed for use in an office or computer room. The environment must have a low dust  
level. The LF 6600 filters incoming air for cooling to reduce the quantity of particles entering the drive;  
however, the filter is not effective against small particles (including tobacco smoke) which will become  
deposited on optical components and media, causing degradation in drive performance. Refer to the  
Operator Maintenance section for media cleaning and air filter cleaning instructions.

SCSI BUS CONSIDERATIONS  
The length of the SCSI interface cables used to interconnect the LF 6600 with other SCSI devices is  
dictated by the type of SCSI controller installed in each LF 6600. A maximum of seven LF 6600's can be  
connected to a host computer in a daisy chained configuration using the appropriate SCSI controller and  
cable options.  
When the single-ended interface controller is used on all SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI  
interface cable cannot exceed 6 m (19.5 ft). (Plasmon LMS does not recommend single-ended fast  
synchronous.) When a differential interface controller is used on all SCSI devices, the total SCSI interface  
cable length cannot exceed 25 m (82 ft).  
NOTE  
The internal SCSI cable for each LF 6600 is approximately 120 mm  
(4.8 in.). This distance must be considered as part of the total SCSI  
cable length.  
No stub connections are permitted.  
The SCSI interface cabling used to interconnect an LF 6600 to a host can be daisy chained between SCSI  
devices as illustrated below. One interface cable is required to interface each pair of SCSI devices.  
(1)  
The SCSI bus must also  
be terminated at the host  
adapter end. Normally, the  
termination function is built into  
the host adapter.  
= TERMINATOR  
EP004236  
Host-to-LF 6600 Daisy Chain Cable Connections  
A terminator must be installed on the vacant connector of the last SCSI device in the SCSI bus chain. The  
SCSI bus must be terminated externally on the LF 6600 rear panel when an LF 6600 is the last SCSI  
device on the bus.  
PLASMON LASER MAGNETIC STORAGE - LF 6600 User Manual  
Page 48  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
NOTE  
You must first determine the type of termination your host system  
requires (see the Accessories Section of this Manual).  
In a daisy chain configuration, a terminator must be used on both the first and last devices on the bus.  
One of these devices may be the host adapter. All other LF 6600's between the first and last device in the  
daisy chain should not be terminated.  
NOTE  
Installation of both an active single-ended terminator and a passive  
single-ended terminator on the same bus is not recommended.  
If only one LF 6600 is attached to a host, the bus must be terminated at the host adapter and the LF 6600.  
Normally, the termination function is built into the host adapter. Power for the external terminator is  
supplied from the LF 6600 and may also be supplied from another device in the SCSI daisy chain.  
Terminator power for external terminators is provided by the LF 6600 power supply.

CONNECTING POWER AND SCSI CABLES  
After the LF 6600 has been installed in its operating location, refer to the next three sections for power cord  
installation, SCSI cable installation and SCSI cable installation for a single device.  
The LF 6600 has two SCSI input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear panel that are used to interface the  
drive with other SCSI devices (see figure below). Either SCSI connector can be used as the input or output  
port because the internal controller cable connection is common to both connectors.

3) Ensure that the AC power switch on the LF 6600 rear panel is set to the OFF ( O ) position.  
4) Plug the AC power cord connector (female end) into the AC power receptacle on the LF  
6600 rear panel.  
5) Plug the AC power cord connector (male end) into a wall outlet.  
CONNECTING MULTIPLE DEVICES  
To install SCSI interface cables for a multiple-device configuration:  
1) Ensure that the SCSI interface cables and a terminator (if required) are available and  
ready for installation.  
2) Plug one end of a SCSI interface cable into the vacant SCSI interface connector on the  
previous device in the SCSI chain (see figure below). Plug the other end of the cable into  
3) If the LF 6600 is not the last unit in the daisy chain, plug one end of the other cable into the  
vacant connector on the LF 6600 and then connect the other end of the cable to the next  
SCSI device. Repeat this process until you reach the last SCSI device in the daisy chain.  
If the LF 6600 is the last unit in the daisy chain, install a terminator on the LF 6600's vacant SCSI  
connector.  
4) Ensure that the SCSI bus is also terminated at the host adapter end.  
The SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends in accordance with the LD 6100/LF 6600/LF  
6602 SCSI Interface Specification (P/N 97653978).

Perform the following procedure to power on the LF 6600:  
1) Ensure that the LF 6600 is properly connected (see SCSI Bus Considerations sections).  
2) Refer to the Media Insertion and Removal section and insert a cartridge into slot 1. If slot 1  
is empty, the LF 6600 will display "1 Empty" on the DOC shortly after initial power on.  
NOTE  
Slot 1 is the factory setting for the media autoload configuration  
option.  
If this option has been changed by the user, all references to slot 1 in  
this manual apply instead to the slot number selected in the autoload  
configuration option.  
Refer to the Configuration Mode section for more information on  
setting configuration options.

3) Set the AC Power Switch to the ON ( I ) position and verify that air is flowing through the  
LF 6600.  
4) Verify that the WRITE PROTECT indicator is illuminated briefly.  
5) Verify that the "Selftest" message is displayed on the DOC.  
The "Selftest" message indicates that the power-on selftests are running. When the power-on selftests  
have run without errors, the drive will perform a test to determine which slots in the shuttle are occupied by  
media cartridges and then will load media number 1.  
When the "1 Ready" message is displayed, the LF 6600 has passed the power-on selftests and has  
successfully loaded the LM 6000 media cartridge in slot 1.  
6) Verify that the "Selftest" message displayed on the DOC is replaced by the "1 Ready"  
message.  
7) Refer to the Modes of Operation section of this manual to familiarize yourself with the LF  
6600 modes of operation.  
The LF 6600 is now in the normal Operating mode, and is ready to be controlled and accessed by a host  
system.  
MODES OF OPERATION  
The LF 6600 has three modes of operation that are selectable from the DOC:  
In Operating mode the host system can read and write data, and select and load media cartridges. In  
Configuration mode an operator can view a menu of parameters and select options for each parameter.  
Test mode invokes drive diagnostics to verify proper drive operation.  
OPERATING MODE  
The LF 6600 enters the Operating mode after being powered on and displays the "# Ready" message on  
the DOC. The DOC will display the appropriate messages listed in the next table during normal operation.  
To enter Operating mode if the drive is in Test mode, wait until the tests are completed and then press the  
LOAD/MENU switch. To enter Operating mode if the drive is in Configuration mode, press the LOAD/  
MENU and the TEST/SELECT switches simultaneously.

TEST MODE  
The LF 6600 automatically enters the Test mode each time it is powered on. Power-on selftest diagnostics  
are run to verify the operational readiness of the drive.  
After the LF 6600 successfully passes the power-on selftests, the LF 6600 enters the Operating mode.  
While the LF 6600 is in the Operating mode, the operator may manually enter the Test mode and invoke  
the system function diagnostics.  
The level of selftest diagnostic coverage is configurable via the "Test Thru:" option in the Diagnostics  
menu. Lower level tests (numbers 0 through 6) verify basic drive hardware operation.  
When errors are detected, the appropriate diagnostic message will be displayed on the DOC. Diagnostic  
messages are presented to the operator in the form of failed test codes and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU)  
mnemonics that can be relayed to a CE for repairing the malfunction.  
If no problems are detected by the system function diagnostics, the display will show "Diagnostics  
Complete. Press TEST to restart drive...".  
Pressing TEST resets "Test Thru:" value to 00 and initiates selftest again. At the successful completion of  
the selftest, the LF 6600 is returned to the operating mode, ready for normal operation.

MEDIA INSERTION AND REMOVAL  
Individual media cartridges are inserted and removed through the front panel media access door. When  
fully closed, the door is held by magnetic contacts. A safety switch prevents operation of the shuttle if the  
door is open. When the door is opened and closed, the drive tests the six slots to determine which slots  
have media cartridges present.  
The door is automatically locked by a electrical safety lock when the drive begins operation. An  
independent manual key lock, located in the bezel assembly, provides an additional locking method for  
preventing unauthorized media access.  
Operator access to the media requires the shuttle to be in the home position. The home shuttle position  
squarely aligns all six cartridge slots with the media access door as illustrated in the next figure.

HINWEIS  
Nach Ausschalten des Stroms muß die Bedienperson 1 Sekunde  
warten, bevor der Strom wieder eingeschaltet werden darf.  
WECHSELSTROMERDUNG  
Um einen sicheren Betrieb zu gewährleisten, muß das Gehäuse des LF 6600 geerdet sein. Das  
Wechselstromkabel enthält eine Erdleitung, die das Gehäuse des LF 6600 durch die  
Wechselstromversorgung des Standorts an Sicherheitserde legt. Die Wechselstromversorgung des  
Standorts wiederum muß diese Erdung an einen Erdanschluß legen. Alle Wechselstromverbindungen am  
Standort müssen denselben Erdanschluß verwenden.  
Ein Erdanschlußteil an der Geräterückseite (vgl. Abschnitt 2.2.) kann ebenfalls dazu verwendet werden,  
den LF 6600 an einen Erdanschluß zu legen. Dieser Erdanschlußteil ist ein 6 mm M4-Bolzen mit Mutter  
und Sicherungsscheibe.  
KIPPTOLERANZ  
Ermöglicht den Kippbetrieb von der waagrechten Stellung.  
WÄRMEAUSSTRAHLUNG  
Das Laufwerk weist während eines Schreib-Lese-Vorgangs eine typische Wärmeabgabe von 146 kcal/h  
(BTU/h) auf. Wenn Datenträgerkassetten mit der Maximalgeschwindigkeit des Laufwerks eingelegt,  
geladen, eingeschaltet, ausgeschaltet, entladen und entfernt werden, weist der LF 6600 eine typische  
Wärmeabgabe von 182 kcal/h (725 BTU/h) auf.  
GRENZWERTE FÜR DIE STAUBKONZENTRATION  
Der LF 6600 ist für den Betrieb in einem Büro- oder Computerraum konstruiert.Die Umgebung muß  
niedrige Staubwerte aufweisen.  
Der LF 6600 filtert die eingehende Luft, um die Menge an Feststoffteilchen, die in das Laufwerk eintreten,  
zu vermindern. Dieser Filter ist jedoch gegen kleine Teilchen (dazu gehört auch Tabakrauch), die sich auf  
den Datenträgern und optischen Komponenten absetzen, nicht effektiv, was eine Verschlechterung der  
Laufwerksleistung zur Folge hätte.  
WARNHINWEISE  
Der LF 6600 ist als Lasergerät eingestuft. Als solches unterliegt es den US-amerikanischen  
Anforderungen an Lasergeräte. Die in Abbildung 6 dargestellten Warnhinweise sind gemäß  
Bundesverordnungen erforderlich und dürfen nicht vom LF 6600 entfernt werden.  
AUSPACHEN DES LF6600  
WARNUNG  
Um Personenverletzungen zu vermeiden, sind für das Auspacken,  
Wiederverpacken und den Transport des LF 6600 zwei Personen  
erforderlich. Der Versuch, den LF 6600 ohne Hilfe einer zweiten  
Person anzuheben, kann zu Personenverletzungen führen.

VORSICHT  
Die Frontblende ist etwas größer als das Gehäuse. Wenn das  
Laufwerk auf eine flache Oberfläche gestellt wird, sollte das vordere  
Ende des LF 6600 über den Rand der Stützfläche hinausragen, so  
daß die Frontblende nicht belastet wird.  
WIEDERVERPACKEN DES LF 6600  
Der LF 6600 sollte in seiner Originalverpackung wiederverpackt werden. Schlie en Sie die Grundplatten,  
ß
bevor Sie den LF 6600 einpacken. Halten Sie sich beim Verpacken des LF 6600 an das folgende  
Verfahren.  
VORSICHT  
Die Grundplatten müssen in geschlossener Stellung sein, bevor der  
LF 6600 transportiert werden kann, um die Beschädigung des  
Laufwerks zu vermeiden, wodurch die Garantie hinfällig würde.  
SCHLIEßEN DER GRUNDPLATTEN  
1) Stellen Sie sicher, daß sich keine Kassette im Laufwerk befindet.Sollte dies der Fall sein,  
nehmen Sie die Kassette aus dem Laufwerk. Entfernen Sie alle Kassetten aus dem  
Wagen (Informationen zum Entfernen von Kassetten aus einem Laufwerk, das nicht in  
Betrieb ist, finden Sie in Abschnitt 5.5.4).  
2) Wählen Sie die Option "parken" (vgl. Abschnitt 5.3.2.3.), um den LF 6600 auf den

VORSICHT  
Zur Vermeidung einer Beschädigung der Datenträger wird dringendst  
empfohlen, die in der Spezifikation für LM 6000-Datenträger  
(Bestellnr. 97647044) angegebenen Umgebungsbeschränkungen  
sorgfältig zu beachten.  
7) Die Datenträgerkassette nicht extremen Temperaturen aussetzen.  
8) Die Datenträgerkassette eine Stunde vor Gebrauch auf den angegebenen  
Betriebstemperaturbereich stabilisieren.  
9) Die Zugangsabdeckung des Datenträgers nicht öffnen.  
10) Die Plattenoberfläche nicht durch die Zugangsabdeckung berühren.  
11) Die Magnetplatte nicht aus der Kassette herausnehmen.  
12) Die Datenträgerkassetten in einer sauberen Büroumgebung benutzen, handhaben und  
lagern.  
13) Während der Handhabung von Datenträgern nicht rauchen. Asche und Tabak sind eine  
Hauptquelle für die Verunreinigung von Magnetplatten. Alle Rauchutensilien sind aus  
den Bereichen fernzuhalten, in denen Datenträger benutzt oder gelagert werden.  
14) Die Außenflächen der Kassetten sauber halten. Die Kassetten regelmäßig mit einem  
weichen, trockenen, fusselfreien Tuch reinigen.  
Weitere Informationen zur Pflege und Handhabung von Datenträgern finden Sie in der Spezifikation für  
den LM 6000-Datenträger (Bestellnr. 97647044).  
VORSICHT  
Wenn die Luftfilter nicht sauber gehalten werden, wird möglicherweise  
der Luftstrom durch das Laufwerk reduziert. Dies kann zu erhöhten  
Temperaturen im LF 6600 und dadurch zu einer Beschädigung des  
LF 6600 führen.

AUSWECHSELN VON SICHERUNGEN  
Wie in Abschnitt 2.6. des vorliegenden Handbuchs dargestellt, sind zwei Sicherungen und zwei  
Ersatzsicherungen in die Netzbuchse an der Geräterückseite des LF 6600 eingebaut (vgl. Abbildung 53).  
Wenn sich das Laufwerk nicht einschalten läßt, könnte eine oder beide Sicherungen durchgebrannt sein.  
So tauschen Sie eine durchgebrannte Sicherung gegen eine Ersatzsicherung aus:  
1) Stellen Sie den Wechselstromschalter des Laufwerks auf AUS (0), und ziehen Sie das  
Netzkabel ab.  
2) Fügen Sie einen kleinen Flachschraubenzieher zwischen dem Sicherungshalter und dem  
Gehäuse der Buchse ein.  
3) Öffnen Sie den Sicherungshalter vorsichtig. Ziehen Sie den Sicherungshalter aus der  
Buchse heraus und überprüfen Sie die aktive Sicherung, um festzustellen, ob sie  
durchgebrannt ist. Wenn die Sicherung durchgebrannt ist, fahren Sie mit Schritt 4) fort,  
ansonsten mit Schritt 5).  
4) Entfernen Sie die aktive Sicherung und entsorgen Sie sie. Nehmen Sie die  
Ersatzsicherung aus deren Aufbewahrungsort und fügen Sie die Sicherung zwischen  
dem Sicherungsgehäuse und der Halteklammer ein.  
5) Installieren Sie den Sicherungshalter wieder in der Buchse; schieben Sie dabei den Halter  
in die Buchse, bis der Halter bündig auf das Gehäuse der Buchse ausgerichtet ist.  
6) Einschaltverfahren finden Sie in Abschnitt 5.2.  
7) Wenn die Stromversorgung nicht wiederhergestellt wird, prüfen Sie die andere Sicherung.  
WARNUNG  
Sollte eine Ersatzsicherung unmittelbar nach dem Ersetzen der  
Originalsicherung entfallen, dürfen Sie diese Sicherung {U}nicht{D}  
mehr ersetzen.  
Wenden  
Sie  
sich  
an  
die  
nächste  
Stufe  
technischer  
Unterstützung.Dies könnte das Symptom eines schwerwiegenderen  
Problems sein, das entweder am Netzteil des Laufwerks oder in der  
Stromversorgung liegt.  
So reinigen Sie die Magnetplatte:  
1) Befeuchten Sie ein Tuch mit einem Glasreiniger.  
2) Halten Sie die Datenträgerkassette mit einer Hand.  
3) Ziehen Sie den Türhebel mit dem Zeigefinger Ihrer anderen Hand nach unten. Beachten  
Sie, welche Seite (A oder B) Sie reinigen.  
4) Halten Sie die Kassettentür an der Oberkante offen, und installieren Sie die  
Haltevorrichtung, um die Tür offen zu halten.

5) Halten Sie die Kassettenklappe geöffnet, während Sie die Datenträgerplatte drehen und  
reinigen.  
6) Wischen Sie die Plattenoberfläche mit einem fusselfreien Tuch (das mit Glasreiniger  
befeuchtet wurde) ab, beginnen Sie dabei in der Mitte und arbeiten Sie sich an den  
äußeren Rand vor. Nur der Teil der Oberfläche, der bei geöffneter Kassettenklappe  
sichtbar ist, kann bei jedem Durchgang gereinigt werden. Achten Sie darauf, daß alle  
Teile der Platte gereinigt werden.  
VORSICHT  
Üben Sie beim Reinigen nur einen leichten Druck aus. Ein zu starker  
Druck kann dazu führen, daß sich der vorhandene Staub in die  
Datenträgerplatte einfrißt und deren Oberfläche zerkratzt. Kratzer  
können dazu führen, daß die Datenträgerplatte nicht mehr gelesen  
oder beschrieben werden kann.
