Upgrading a 20-Slot Library to 40 or 60 Slots
Verifying the Connection
Verifying the Connection
After connecting the hardware, you will need to verify the library
connection by completing the following:
• Powering on the library
• Running diagnostic tests
• Configuring the library
• Reconfiguring the backup software
Powering on the Library
1. Install a power cord into the upgrade module.
2. Connect all library power cords into a grounded outlet.
3. Press the recessed standby (power) switch on the front of the library.
Running Diagnostic Tests
When you power on the library, it will automatically run an inventory
check. The inventory check will test for vertical alignment, drive/slot
availability, and electronics. Check the home page on the display to see
the overall health of the library and the availability of drives/slots. The
front panel display will also show any errors.
In addition to the inventory check, run the
and
Wellness
Show All Sensors
tests to ensure the library is correctly configured. The
test
Wellness
ensures a tape can be loaded into the drive. The
test
Show All Sensors
dynamically displays the state of the sensors. With this test, open and
close the doors and mailslot to toggle the sensors.
