Unpacking The Library; Identifying Product Components; Removing And Storing The Shipping Lock - Sun Microsystems Oracle StorageTek SL48 Getting Started

Unpacking the Library

Remove the packaging, accessories, and Library from the box one
layer at a time. Place the Library on a level work surface. Carefully
remove the foam padding from the Library. Save the packaging
materials to move or ship the Library in the future.

Identifying product components

Confirm that you received the following product components:
1. Parallel SCSI cable (parallel SCSI Libraries — ordered separately)
2. U320 parallel SCSI terminator (one per parallel SCSI drive)
3. Fibre Channel cable (Fibre Channel Libraries — ordered separ-
ately)
4. SAS cable to connect up to four SAS drives (SAS Libraries)
5. Ethernet cable (ordered separately)
6. Power cord (ordered separately)
7. Rack rails
8. Three packets of rack hardware
9. Documentation kit
CAUTION:
High quality SAS cables rated at the transfer rate of the SAS
components are required. Always verify that the SAS cable you are
using is rated for the data transfer speed of the interface of your
components. SAS cables described as "equalized" may not support
6 Gb/s data rates and should not be used with LTO-5 tape drives
unless these cables are verified for 6 Gb/s data rates. For optimum
performance, only use cables of the length specified as qualified for
your products.
1 Removing and storing the shipping
lock
The shipping lock protects the robotic transport mechanism from moving
during shipment and must be removed and stored before powering on
the Library.
IMPORTANT:
The shipping lock must be removed for the robotics to work
properly. A robot move error is displayed if the shipping lock is not
removed.
Locate the adhesive tape holding the storage lock at the top of the
Library. Remove the adhesive tape, then remove the storage lock and
store it as shown.
Optional: Installing the tabletop conver-
sion cover
Skip this step if you are mounting the Library in a rack.
Place the cover on the work surface behind the Library. Slide the Library
into the cover until the front panel of the Library is aligned with the
cover.
Tighten the four captive screws on the front bezel to secure the Library
in the cover.
2 Determining your rack type
You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver, a small flat screwdriver, the
two rack rails, and the hardware packets for your rack.
Racks having vertical mounting rails with 10–32 threaded holes in the
rack column (Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet).
• You will need the Standard rack hardware packet and the packet
of alignment pins marked 10–32 threaded-hole rack.
Racks having vertical mounting rails with M6 threaded holes in the rack
column (Sun Rack 900 and 1000).
• You will need the Standard rack hardware packet.
Racks having vertical mountain rails with 9.5 mm square holes in the
rack column (Sun StorageTek Rack).
• You will need the Standard rack hardware packet and the packet
of alignment pins and clip nuts marked 9.5 mm square-hole rack.
