1. Install a module communication terminator in the upper receptacle of the
upper module of your library (

2. Install one end of the module-to-module communication cable (

Figure 3-18 on page 3-20) in the lower receptacle of the upper module of your
library, then install the other end in the upper receptacle of the lower module
of your library.
3. Install a module communication terminator in the lower receptacle of the lower
module of your library (
4. Install one end of the customer-supplied Ethernet cable (
page 3-20) in the Library Control Blade Ethernet port, then connect the other
end of the cable to your network.
5. Installation of the SCSI cable(s) and terminator(s) depends upon how many
drives are in your library.
v For maximum drive performance:
v Install a SCSI terminator (
receptacle of each SCSI drive in your library.
v Connect one end of a SCSI cable to the lower receptacle of each SCSI drive (
6
in Figure 3-18 on page 3-20), then connect the other end of the cable to
the host.
v If you prefer to daisy-chain your SCSI drives:
a. Install a SCSI terminator in the upper receptacle of the top SCSI drive in
the daisy-chain.
b. Connect one end of a shorter drive-to-drive SCSI cable included in your
shipment to the lower receptacle of the top SCSI drive in the daisy-chain,
then connect the other end of the cable to the upper receptacle of the next
drive in the daisy-chain. Repeat this for every SCSI drive in your library.
c. On the last drive in the daisy-chain, connect one end of the longer
drive-to-host SCSI cable included in your shipment to the lower
receptacle of the last drive in the daisy-chain, then connect the other end
of the cable to the host.
Note: Maximum performance of the SCSI drives in your library will not be
achieved if the drives are daisy-chained.
6. Install one end of the power cord (
the receptacle of a power supply in your library, then connect the other end of
the cord to your power source. Repeat this for every power supply in your
library.
7. Continue with "Step 5: Powering ON the Library" on page 3-22.

Cabling a Library Containing Fibre and SCSI Drives

To cable a library containing both fibre and SCSI drives, complete the following
steps:
SCSI and Fibre Channel drives can reside in the same library; however, they can
not reside in the same logical library.
