This chapter provides information for ordering the SL30000 library modules, additional components, tape drives, media, and external cables. Contact Sales Assistance at +1.888.672.2534 for more information.
The tables throughout this chapter provide the part numbers for library components and upgrade options. For most components, two part numbers are provided, ATO and PTO. The ATO number is for initial orders and PTO is for orders after the initial purchase of an SL3000 modular library.
Select a physical configuration.
Choose modules: Base (required), DEM, CEMs (up to eight), PEMs, or AEMs.
Identify the number of physical slots currently needed, then add additional capacity to meet the needs for future growth (see Chapter 4, "Capacity").
Select module add-ons for each module selected, such as CAPs, window arrays, operator panel, and tape drive arrays.
Determine the active capacity.
Order largest quantities first, add smaller quantities to get the total desired active capacity. Quantity options include: +25, +100, +200, +500, +700, +1000.
Refer to Chapter 4, "Capacity" and "Hardware Activation Files".
Select the number and type of tape drives.
Select the number of supported drives: T9840, T10000, and LTO.
Order tape cartridges and labels.
Select the power options.
Choose a power redundancy option: N+1, 2N, or 2N+1.
Calculate the number of power supplies and input power source needed (see Chapter 5, "Power and Cooling").
Order the required number of power supplies, AC power cords, and PDUs.
Select the software options.
Options include: dual TCP/IP, dual fibre channel, partitioning, redundant electronics, library management software, and network connectivity.
Select required cables (see "Cables - Fibre Channel, ESCON, and Ethernet")
Determine the required services.
Select maintenance options and professional service options.
Determine if the library will be installed during normal working hours, or if it will require after-hours installation.
Hardware Activation Files are required to enable certain features purchased for the SL3000 library. The following features are controlled by activation files:
Capacity on Demand (active capacity)
Partitioning
Dual TCP/IP Port or Dual Fibre Channel (FC)
Redundant Electronics
Hardware activation files are typically delivered to the customer through Oracle's Software Delivery Cloud. This is a digitally signed Java Archive (.jar) file that contains one activation permit for the purchased feature. These activation files can be added and removed from the library using the StorageTek Library Console. To download the appropriate hardware activation files, go to Oracle's Software Delivery Cloud at: https://edelivery.oracle.com/
Choose a language, and enter your information.
Read and agree to terms and conditions.
Under select a product pack, choose Oracle StorageTek Products. Under platform select "Generic Platform".
Select the StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System.
Download the purchased features.
The physical configuration of the library includes selecting the modules that will make up the SL3000 library. Be sure to read the options and requirements for each module carefully.
A base module is required with every initial order. A standalone base module is the smallest library configuration.

Refer to Chapter 5, "Power and Cooling" for details on the power configurations, as well as how to calculate power requirements for the SL3000 library.
There are three possible power configurations for the library N+1, 2N, and 2N+1. There are two AC power source options for the Base and Drive Expansion modules. Both are single phase:
120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, at 20 Amps (range: 100–127 VAC, 47–63 Hz, 16 Amps) limited support for T9840 and T10000 drives; no redundant TallBot support
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, at 30 Amps (range: 200–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz, 24 Amps)—full featured
The number of powers supplies required depends on the power redundancy option selected (N+1, 2N, or 2N+1) and the number of tape drives. To calculate the number of DC power supplies to order for the tape drives, refer to "Calculating Tape Drive Power Supply Quantities".
If the 2N+1 power options is selected, order one additional 1200W DC supply to power the robotics, and two additional 200W cPCI power supplies for the electronics control module. These are in addition to the DC supplies required for the tape drives. For more information, refer to "DC Power Supplies".
One PDU is required per Base or DEM. The same PDU type must be installed in both the base and the DEM. There can be a maximum of four PDUs in the library depending on the configuration selected. To determine the number and type of PDUs to order, refer to Chapter 5, "Power and Cooling".
You must order one power cord per PDU installed:
N+1: One power cord for the Base and an additional power cord for the DEM (if installed).
2N or 2N+1: Two power cords for the Base and two additional power cords for the DEM (if installed)
See the tape media area on the corporate web site for additional information: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/storage/tape-storage/overview/index.html.
For more detailed ordering information about T-series tape drives, refer to the drive specific Systems Assurance Guide on the Oracle Technical Network. Additionally, encryption is available for some drives, refer to the Oracle Key Management System, Systems Assurance Guide for more information about encryption-capable tape drives.
Some tape drives used in other StorageTek modular libraries can be converted to operate in an SL3000 library, refer to "Drive Tray Conversions Kits". To order tape drive arrays for a module, refer to "Tape Drive Arrays".
The SL3000 library is compatible with T9840(C,D) and T10000(A,B,C,D). However, Oracle only currently sells the T9840D, T10000C, and T10000D.

The SL3000 library is compatible with LTO drives generation 3, 4, 5, and 6. However, not all drive models are currently sold. Check the corporate web site listed above for the most current sales information. All currently sold LTO drives listed below are encryption capable.
Ethernet switches and cables are required if tape drive encryption is selected. The number of required parts depends on the number and location of the encrypted drives. The "Harness number" below correspond to the drive array location. Therefore, "Harness 1" supports the first drive array in a module and "Harness 2" supports the second drive array in a module and so on.

Tape cartridges are not shipped as part of the SL3000 modular library system and must be ordered separately.
The customer can use their existing cartridges as long as they are compatible with the supported tape drives and still within their warranty period. Professional Services and Data Center Services offer transition support and services to help migrate media and drives. The sales representative should make sure that the customer orders the proper cartridge tape labels before the installation.
Call 1.877.STK.TAPE to order media from your local reseller or to obtain media pre-sales support.
E-mail: tapemediaorders_ww@oracle.com
Label kits are available in either 60 or 200 piece quantities. The 60 piece kit has 60 data and 6 cleaning cartridge labels. The 200 piece kit has 200 data and 20 cleaning cartridge labels. The end-user will affix the labels to the cartridges. The label ranges are sequentially numbered, non-repeating and cannot be customized.
Refer to the T-Series Systems Assurance Guides for information about the media part numbers for the T9840 and T10000 tape drives. Refer to the Barcode Technical Brief for more details about media labels.
Hardware activation files for these software options are downloaded through Oracle's Software Delivery Cloud at: https://edelivery.oracle.com/
For additional information about these options, refer to the SL3000 User's Guide or SL3000 Host Connectivity Guide.
The following tables list the cables available for the SL3000 library and tape drives. The cables are either Riser or Plenum. Plenum-rated cables have a higher flammability rating and are used for under-the-floor applications. SL3000 drive trays accept only LC fiber cable connectors. If you are using cables with SC connectors, you must add an adapter.
LC connectors are the industry standard for all 2 Gb-capable or higher Fibre Channel devices. SL3000 drive trays accept only LC fiber cable connectors.
