Library Installation

Connecting and Powering on the Library

Chapter 11-34

The following steps illustrate a Fibre Channel connection between the

host, hub or switch, and library. Refer to Figure 1-23, Figure 1-24, or

Figure 1-25, and connect the library as follows:

1. Ensure that the library and host are inactive, and the library is

disconnected from the host.

2. Ensure that the required host software has been installed.

3. Power off the host, hub, or switch. If the host is connected to a

network, check with the system administrator before turning off

power.

4. Install a host bus adapter into the host computer. Use proper

procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-

grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing internal

components.

5. Connect the hardware.

a. On each level of the library, connect the supplied SCSI jumper

cable from bus 1 on each Fibre Channel interface to the left

connector on the left drive module.

b. On each level of the library, connect the supplied SCSI jumper

cable from bus 2 on each Fibre Channel interface to the left

connector on the right drive module.

c. Connect the supplied SCSI jumper cable from the top connector on

the library controller card to the right connector on the left drive

module (drive module 1) to daisy chain the library controller to the

drive.

d. Terminate the bottom connector on the library controller card.

e. Connect the appropriate SCSI terminator to the remaining

connectors on the drive modules. Ensure that the interface type

matches your library.
