SCSI SWITCH (FOR AS/400®)
2. Introduction
The SCSI Switch (for AS/400®) is a dynamic fast/wide switching device that
provides intelligent unattended switching of IPL 6790E and IBM 3490E-EXX
1/2" cartridge tape drives between AS/400 hosts.
The SCSI Switch features include:
• Unattended switching support for up to two tape drives and four host
systems
• 100% compatibility with OS/400
• Compact rackmount design
• Industry’s only dynamic switching device for Fast/Wide SCSI tape drives
Cost-Effective CPU Sharing
Through OS/400 commands, the SCSI Switch provides your site with
complete unattended tape-drive sharing between multiple AS/400 hosts.
The SCSI Switch eliminates the added purchase and maintenance costs
needed to support separate 36-track 1/2" cartridge tape drives for each CPU.
Superior Protection
The SCSI Switch features a slim, 2 EIA-unit rackmount design with a control
panel that monitors the host CPU and current backup status. A manual
override switch protects your equipment if your host CPU fails.
Complete Flexibility
The SCSI Switch connects to the AS/400 9404 and 9406 (Models D, E, F), and
all Advanced Series 200 and 300 models. The SCSI Switch is the industry’s
only unattended tape-drive switching device that attaches to IBM’s AS/400
Fast/Wide SCSI 6501 IOP.

3. Installing and Configuring
the SCSI Switch
3.1 Subsystem Requirements
Before installing the SCSI Switch (for AS/400®) verify that:
• All environmental, power and space requirements have been met.
• All host system interface requirements have been provided. These
requirements can be found in this section. Look under the appropriate
“Host System Requirements” for the system in question.
Environmental Requirements
Temperature—Operating: 60° to 90° F (15.5° to 32° C),
Non-operating: -40° to 122° F (-40° to 50° C)
Humidity (noncondensing)—Operating: 20 to 80%,
Non-operating: 10 to 90%
Power Requirements
The SCSI Switch (for AS/400®) requires a dedicated power receptacle
with an isolated earth ground. Power may also be provided via the
IBM 9039 rack using an accessory cord.
For 120V outlets at 120 VAC, a NEMA 5-15R receptacle is required.
For 220V outlets at 220 VAC, a NEMA 6-15R receptacle is required.
CAUTION
Water pipes or building conduits are not adequate earth-ground
substitutes.
Space Requirements
The SCSI Switch (for AS/400®) can be rack-mounted. It requires
two EIA locations in a 9309 rack.
10
SCSI SWITCH (FOR AS/400®)
Compatible Racks for the SCSI Switch
The SCSI Switch, which is in a self-contained module, should be mounted in
the same rack that your tape drive is mounted in. Usually, you will already
have this rack if you already have a tape drive. If you need to order a rack, the
following are compatible with both the tape drive and the SCSI Switch:
• IBM 9309 System Rack (SC9125)
• IBM 9309 System Unit/9332 Rack (SC9126)
• IBM 9309 I/O Expansion Rack (SC9130)
3.2 Installing the SCSI Switch in the Rack
Unpacking and Packing
The SCSI Switch (for AS/400®) Subsystem is packaged in electrically
conductive containers. Save all packing material in case you need to ship,
store, or move the units later.
After you remove the SCSI Switch from the container, inspect it for
damage. If the equipment is damaged, immediately contact your dealer.
NOTE
Static electricity is generated by common activities such as walking
across a carpet, transporting items in plastic containers, and handling
synthetic materials. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may result in
degraded reliability or failures.
Tools Required
The only tools you need to support the SCSI Switch can be found in a
standard tool kit:
• a Philips head screwdriver or common screwdriver
• a pair of pliers
• an adjustable wrench
