__ 1. Replace the cover on the enclosure.
__ 2. Connect the power cord to both the enclosure and the electrical outlet.
__ 3. Power-on the enclosure.
__ 4. Run one or more of the following drive diagnostics:
v "Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics" on page 33
v "Function Code 6: Run SCSI Wrap Test" on page 37).
v "Function Code 7: Run RS-422 Wrap Test" on page 38
If an error code appears on the single-character display (SCD), go to Table 15
on page 75. If no error appears, continue to the next step.
__ 5. Power-off the enclosure.
__ 6. Disconnect the power cord from both the enclosure and the electrical outlet.
For information about installing device drivers, refer to the documentation for your
enclosure.
Follow the instructions in the sections that follow to connect the drive to a server.
To connect the enclosure to the SCSI bus:
__ 1. Connect an external SCSI bus cable to both the enclosure and the server (for
the location of the connectors, refer to the documentation for your enclosure
and server).
__ 2. Run the appropriate SCSI attachment verification procedure from your
server (for instructions, refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation
and User's Guide). If a SCSI error occurs, refer to "Using Sense Data" on page
79.
If you want to power a device on or off while it is connected to the same SCSI bus
as a drive, you can do so if, during the power-on cycle, you quiesce all devices
(including the drive) on the bus.
To connect the enclosure to the Fibre Channel interface:
__ 1. Connect an external fiber cable to both the enclosure and the appropriate
attachment (server, switch, or hub). For the location of the connectors and
for information about attaching the fiber cable, refer to the documentation
for your enclosure and for your server, switch, or hub.
Note: A drive with a Fibre Channel interface can be ordered with several
lengths of fiber cabling, up to 61 m (200 ft). For ordering information,
see Table 16 on page 109.
