If your system has a large number of tape drives, connect it to a 208- to 240-volt source to reduce the peak AC input current. The integral circuit breaker will trip at 20 amps. In general, Qualstar recommends 220-volt input power. Using a 220-volt source will prevent input power from being an issue during upgrades.
SCSI or Fibre Channel cables, and configure the logical libraries. After the XLS order is placed, Qualstar builds the library to the requested specifications and preinstalls the drive bays, cartridge slots, I/O ports, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), and the power supplies.
