2. Attach the host end of the SAS cable to the drive's SAS connector ( 2 in Figure 31 on page 34). See
"SAS host interface" on page 6 for information about the type of SAS connector that is required for
attachment to the drive.
Note: On rack mount installations, run the cable through the hook-and-loop fastener strap on the
right rear bracket.
3. Attach the other end of the host SAS interface cable to the host or to an interposer if required.

v Method 1: Plug the ethernet cable into your server or PC to access the Web User Interface directly.
This method modifies your server or PC network settings to match the library default settings. You
can also use the library Operator Panel to change the library network settings to match the server
or PC network settings before you use the Web User Interface to access the library. If the ethernet
connection is directly attached to a server or a PC, a crossover ethernet cable might be required.
v Method 2: Plug the ethernet cable into an ethernet switch or router to access the Web User Interface
on a LAN (local area network). The library network settings must be entered with the Operator
Panel before the Web User Interface is used to access the library.
Connecting the power cord
Note: This product can ONLY be used with an approved power cord for your specific geographic region.
Use of an unapproved power cord might result in
v Not meeting individual country-specific safety requirements
v Overheating with potential personal injury or property damage
v A fracture that results in internal contacts that are exposed, which might subject the user to a shock
hazard
To connect a power cord:
1. Plug one end of the power cord or rack PDU power cord into the power connector ( 3 in Figure 31
on page 34) on the rear panel of the library.
Note: On rack mount installations, run the rack PDU power cord through the hook-and-loop fastener
strap on the right rear bracket, and tighten the strap. The rack PDU power cord is a special power
cord that plugs into a rack power strip.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest properly grounded power outlet. On rack
mount installations, plug the other end of the rack PDU power cord into the nearest rack PDU.
3. Power ON the library by toggling the power switch on the power supply to the ON (|) position.
4. Wait for the library to initialize.
During initialization, the library completes a Power ON Self Test (POST) to ensure that the library
hardware is functional. The library also tests communications with the tape drive over the internal
bus.
Note: If the Operator Panel does not initialize, check all cable connections, and ensure that the cartridge
magazine is closed and in the locked position. Ensure that the power supply switch is in the ON position.
If the Operator Panel still does not initialize, see "Troubleshooting" on page 129.
Important: To disconnect all power from the library, turn the power switch to the OFF position, then
remove the power cord from the outlet. The power switch removes power from portions of the library
and the drive, but the power supply still has ac power at its input.
Note: When the library is power-cycled, wait 10 seconds after the power is OFF before the library is
powered ON again.
