Dell PowerVault ML6000 Getting Started Guide

Finishing Cabling the Library

All libraries must use module terminators. Libraries that consist of multiple
modules must use module-to-module cables.

CAUTION:

The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a

SCSI terminator instead of a module terminator can damage the library. The
module terminators are located in a plastic package tied to the back of the
5U Library Control Module.

1 Remove the protective plastic caps covering the module connectors on the

5U Library Control Module and 9U Library Expansion Module(s).

2 Using the module-to-module cables from the accessory kit, connect each

module to the one above it. Connect one end of the cable to the bottom
module. Then connect the other end of the cable to the module above it.

3 Using the module terminators from the plastic package tied to the back of

the 5U Liberary Control Module, terminate the topmost and botommost
modules.

4 Connect an Ethernet cable to the top Gigabit Ethernet port on the library

control blade (LCB) for remote access to the library via the Web client.
(Ethernet cable not supplied.)

5 At least one power supply is required for each module that contains tape

drives. For each power supply, connect one end of the power cord to the
power supply. Connect the other end to a nearby grounded AC power
source (of the type marked on the product label).
