Installing a Tape Library
Tower Version
This chapter explains how to install a tape library tower version.
3.1
Before You Start
Before you perform any of the installation procedures:
Read the "Safety Agency Compliance" section at the beginning of the manual.
Protect the tape library from electrostatic discharge (ESD) by placing it on an
antistatic work surface and by wearing an antistatic wrist band. If such a mat or
wristband are unavailable, discharge static electricity from your body before
handling the tape library or the tape drives by touching a known grounded
surface, such as your workstation metal chassis.
Determine the SCSI bus length.
The total SCSI bus length of your system unit, the external SCSI cables, and the
tape library must not exceed a maximum SCSI bus length of 20 feet (6 meters). To
determine if the total SCSI bus length is 6 meters or less, see Appendix A, "SCSI
Information".
Gather the following tools and equipment:
Antistatic wrist strap
ESD mat
Flatblade screwdriver
TORX screwdriver with T-20 and T-10 bits
Container to hold loose screws
