1
If your library is larger than 14U, install it in a rack. See
on page 333 for instructions. The instructions
include procedures for removing and replacing tape drives.
2
Connect one end of the SAS cable to the tape drive. Connect the other
end of the SAS cable to the host.
3
If your library configuration consists of a single module, place
module terminators in the module’s top and bottom module
terminator connectors.
4
If the library consists of more than one module, connect the modules
together as follows:
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.
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.
d
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.
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.
