Installing a New Fibre Channel Interface Card Using Telnet
To insert a new interface card into an available slot numbered 3 through 12
(see Figure 6 on page 46), do the following:
1. Using the cable label kit that came with the Interface Manager, choose the
appropriate labels (designating slot, bus and drive number) and attach
one label to each end of the SCSI cable.
2. BEFORE installing the interface card, plug a SCSI cable into the new
interface card. DO NOT install the interface card at this time.
3. Turn off the drives that will be connected to the new interface card.
4. Plug the SCSI cable into the appropriate drive.
5. Power on the drive(s) in the library and make sure they are correctly
configured with SCSI addresses.
6. Remove the appropriate Fibre Channel interface card slot cover from the
Interface Manager.
7. Insert the new FC interface card into the first empty slot going from left to
right, align the top and bottom edges of the card with the card slot (see
Figure 7 on page 47). Gently push the card into the slot by placing
pressure on the top AND bottom of the card until it is flush with the
chassis. (Pushing the card in from the top OR bottom alone may damage
the card or Interface Manager.)
8. Log into the IM via a Telnet session as described in Accessing Telnet on
page 38.
9. Select [3] from the Main menu.
10. If the slot into which you installed the interface card is listed as Off-Line,
then you will need to place the interface card On-Line.
— To place the interface card On-Line, select [5] from the Interface Card
menu to inform the firmware that you inserted an interface card.
— You will be asked to supply the slot number of the interface card to be
placed On-Line. Wait for the RDY LED to turn green. It may take 1 - 2
minutes for the interface card to reach that point in the boot-up process.
