Installing, Removing, and Replacing
b
Connect the SCSI tape drive to the host.
c
Rather than connecting each SCSI tape drive to the host, you can use a SCSI cable to connect two adjacent SCSI
tape drives together (daisy-chain) and then connect to the host, as shown in
Note:
To avoid possible performance issues, do not connect more than two SCSI drives per SCSI bus.
Figure 5 Multi-Module SCSI Cabling, Alternate Method
1 SCSI terminator
2 SCSI drive-to-host cable
3 SCSI cable connecting two SCSI tape drives
3
Connect the module terminators.
Caution:
The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a SCSI terminator instead of a
module terminator will damage the library.
a
Using the module terminators, terminate the top and bottom modules in the library stack. Install one module
terminator in the top terminator connector on the topmost module and one in the bottom terminator connector on
the bottommost module.
If your library configuration consists of a single module, place module terminators in the module's top and bottom
module terminator connector.
b
If you need to add 9U Library Expansion Modules to the 5U Library Control Module, remove the module terminator
from the 5U Library Control Module terminator connection that is closest to the 9U Library Expansion Module.
c
Replace the module terminator in the 9U Library Expansion Module in the terminator connection that is furthest
from the 5U Library Control Module.
4
Connect the module-to-module cable from the 5U Library Control Module to the 9U Library Expansion Module.
5
Connect your Ethernet cable to the Gigabit (GB) Ethernet port on the library control blade (LCB) for remote access to
the library via the Web client.
6
Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of the library.
There should always be a power cord connected to the power supply on the 5U Library Control Module. If redundant
power supplies are used, connect a power cord to each of the additional power supply outlets.
7
Power on the library.
a
Turn on the rear power switch of each of the power supplies.
