HP StorageWorks EML E-Series e2400 FC 4G Interface Controller Installation Instructions (December 2005)

Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on
the IC. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable
into one of the TO FIBRE CHANNEL
CONTROLLERS ports on the Interface Manager
card. Attach a label to each end of the Ethernet
cable to mark the port designations.

After installing all library components, review
the following checklist:
1. All tape drives have one FC cable
connected to a port in a interface controller.
2. All interface controllers have one Ethernet
connection to the Interface Manager card (TO
FIBRE CHANNEL CONTROLLERS) port.
3. All interface controllers have one or two
FC connections to the SAN through the FC0
or FC1 ports.
4. The Interface Manager should have one
Ethernet connection from the CASCADE port
to the PUBLIC port on the library robotics
controller.
5. The Interface Manager should have one
Ethernet connection from the NETWORK port
to an Ethernet port on your management
station.
6. Each power supply on the base module or
tape drive expansion module is plugged into
a power strip.
7. Each power strip is plugged into a power
distribution unit.
8. Each power distribution unit is plugged
into an AC outlet.

Power on the library.
a. Set the library power switch at the upper
right corner to the ON position.
b. Observe that all power indicators on the
power supplies show that power was
restored.
c. Verify that the library robotics controller
card ACTIVE indicator is lit.
14
Verify that the power LED and the Fibre Link LEDs
on the interface controller are solid green. The
link LEDs indicate a good connection.

To prepare the IC
for configuration,
you must reset the IC
TWICE. To reset the
IC, insert a paper
clip into the Reset hole. After
resetting the IC, wait three minutes for the IC to reset,
then reset it again. Wait another three minutes for
the IC to reset, then use HP StorageWorks
Command View TL to configure the IC.
Caution: If you do not allow sufficient time
for the IC to reset before resetting it again,
the Interface Manager will not recognize
the IC.
