SCSI Host adapter card with 68-pin wide HD or VHDC connector • Tape application software that is verified with the FastStor 1 • Up to 8 pieces of the appropriate cartridge type to “stock” the FastStor 1 to full capacity. FastStor 1 Quick Installation Guide...
Step 2. Installing the FastStor 1 in a Rack The FastStor 1 is designed for use in a 19” rack system using 1U of rack space. The length of the power cord and the SCSI cable may restrict the placement.

Attention: The FastStor 1 is designed to operate in a horizontal position. Do not attempt to operate the FastStor 1 in any position other than horizontally. Also make sure that: • The airflow around the front and back of the FastStor 1 is not obstructed.

Installing the Rack Mounting Kit • Determine the proper position of the rails in the rack. Caution: Consider rack stability when deciding where to place the FastStor 1. Hazardous conditions can result from uneven mechanical rack loading. FastStor 1 uses 1U of vertical rack space.

Installing the “Rail Left Assembly” 1. Measure the length between the rear rack mount rails and the front rack mount rails. If the measurement is shorter than the FastStor 1, move the two sets of screws M4x12, washers and nuts shown in Figure 4.

FastStor 1 in the rack. Slide the FastStor 1 on the rails from the front of the rack, as shown in Figure 6. Then secure the FastStor 1 using one M6x12 screw in front of the rack on both left and right sides (see Figure 7), and one M5x8 on the back of the Rack Mounting Kit on both left and right sides (see Figure 8).
Figure 10. Magazine lock marked with red plastic tab The locking screw is detected when the FastStor 1 is powered on. The display shows a message indicating the locking screw has been detected. The display instructs the user to remove the magazine to gain access to the locking screw.
The SCSI address is a unique address that identifies the unit connected to the SCSI bus. The FastStor 1 uses two SCSI addresses or IDs. One is for the loader robotics controller, and the other is for the tape drive. The SCSI addresses can be configured through the operator buttons and the display on the front panel.

3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the appropriate SCSI adapter on your system, and then fasten it with the thumbscrews. 4. If the FastStor 1 is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a SCSI bus terminator to the free SCSI connector on the FastStor 1. Make sure the terminator is the correct type for your SCSI system.
To connect the FastStor 1 to the Ethernet port, use the provided cable from the accessory kit box. 1. Insert one end of the cable into the FastStor 1 Ethernet port. Push until it snaps into place. (The open port shown in Figure 11 is for Ethernet connection.)
