Step 6: Connect the Library Cables
Step 6: Connect the Library Cables
0
1
Remove the protective plastic caps covering the module connectors on the control
module and expansion module(s).
2
Connect the module cables and module terminators.
All libraries must use module terminators. Libraries that consist of multiple modules
must use module-to-module cables.
a
Using the module-to-module cables from the accessory kit, connect each module
to the one above it. Connect one end of the cable to the bottom module. Then
connect the other end of the cable to the module above it.
b
Using the module terminators tied to the back of the control module, terminate
the topmost and bottommost modules.
3
Connect the library Ethernet cable.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the top Gigabit Ethernet port on the library control blade
(LCB) for remote access to the library via the web client. (Ethernet cable not supplied.)
4
Connect the module Ethernet cables (if required).
Perform this step if your library contains at least one Fibre Channel I/O blade.
Use Ethernet cables to connect the LCB in the library control module to each
expansion module that contains a Fibre Channel I/O blade. For each Fibre Channel
I/O blade installed in an expansion module:
a
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to any of the four middle Ethernet ports on
the LCB Ethernet hub. (The uppermost port is for remote access to the library via
the web client, and the bottommost port is for service access.)
b
Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate port on the 9U Expansion
Module. If the Fibre Channel I/O blade is installed in the upper bay, use the port
labelled “
UPPER
.” If the Fibre Channel I/O blade is installed in the lower bay, use
the port labelled “
LOWER
.”
5
Connect the power cords.
At least one power supply is required for each module that contains tape drives.
For each power supply, connect one end of the power cord to the power supply. Then
connect the other end to a nearby grounded AC power source (of the type marked on
the product label).
Caution:
The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a
SCSI terminator instead of a module terminator can damage the
library. The module terminators are packaged in plastic and tied to the
back of the control module.
