The following table describes the components shown in Figure 8 and
Figure 9.
Component Description
PS/2 Keyboard and
Mouse Connectors
(Spectra PC only)
For convenience, you can connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard to the
appropriate connectors on the LCM and use them when interacting with the
BlueScale user interface. This connection provides access to all of the options
available from the library’s front panel touch screen.
USB Ports (1 on the
Spectra PC, 4 on
the Spectra LS)
The USB ports on the LCM can be used to connect a USB device for transferring
BlueScale encryption keys, saving configurations, and uploading BlueScale
packages. You can also connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on
the LCM and use them when interacting with the BlueScale user interface. This
connection provides access to all of the options available from the library’s front
panel touch screen.
Monitor Connector You can connect a monitor to the LCM and use it to view the BlueScale user
interface instead of using the library’s front panel.
Ethernet Port The Ethernet port on the LCM connects the library to an Ethernet network and
is used to access the library through the BlueScale web interface using the
Remote Library Controller (RLC). The BlueScale web interface provides access
to all of the options available from the library’s operator panel except those that
require physical interaction with the library (for example, importing or
exporting media).
Notes:
If you are using a BlueScale version prior to BlueScale12.3.0, either Ethernet
port on the Spectra LS can be used. However, only one Ethernet port at a time
can be used. If cables are connected to both ports, the module automatically
checks for active connections and uses the first connection that it detects.
Beginning with BlueScale 12.3.0, only the left-most Ethernet port on a
Spectra LS may be used to connect the library to an Ethernet network.
The Spectra PC has a 10/100BaseT connection.
The Spectra LS has a 10/100/1000BaseT connection.
Memory Card
(behind cover)
The memory card in the module stores the library’s configuration information,
which includes activation keys, system settings, and partition settings. It also
stores the MLM and DLM databases and information related to the current
system status.
Notes:
The Spectra PC uses a Compact Flash (CF) memory card. The Spectra LS uses
a Secure Digital (SD) memory card.
One extra memory card is shipped with new libraries for error recovery.
RS-232 and CAN
Connectors
These connectors are only used for troubleshooting by service personnel.
