221L-FC
To avoid reinitializing the Fibre Channel loop when you power off the
221L-FC, use the utility provided with your switch or hub to bypass the ports
used by the library and tape drive(s). When you are ready to power the library
back on, use the utility to place the affected ports back into the loop, then
power up the library.

NSTALLATION
After the library powers on, the LCD displays the Status screen. As shown in
the example below, the first line of the Status screen displays the product
name and the second line shows status for the tape drive(s) (ready, no tape
loaded). If two drives are installed, the second line continuously cycles
through status messages for Drive 1 and Drive 2.
Note: Drive 1 is the tape drive closest to the fixed cartridge slots; Drive 2 is
located directly to the right of Drive 1.
If the library powered on as described, continue with library configuration in
Chapter 3 .
If the library did not power on as described, check the following:
Is the power switch on?
Is the power cord inserted correctly?
Is the library’s door closed?
Is each SCSI bus terminated (221L)?
Are the SCSI cables firmly connected to the library, tape drive(s), and host
computer(s) (221L)?
Are the devices on each SCSI bus attached to the library all LVD (221L)?
Are the Fibre Channel cables firmly connected to the library, tape drive(s),
and Fibre Channel hub or switch (221L-FC)?
Is the host computer system turned on?
Is there an error code displayed on the library LCD? (See Chapter 8 for an
explanation of the LCD error codes.)
If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, contact Exabyte Technical Support
(see page iv ).

Important
Do not power on the host computer system(s) immediately after
powering on the library. After you press the library’s power switch,
there is a short delay before the tape drives are on-line.
