drive cluster Ethernet cables installed and routed. An e2400–160 interface controller
connects to Ultrium 460 or SDLT drives using SCSI cables. Drive cluster Ethernet cables
are installed and routed before shipment, but SCSI cables must be installed on site. For
each controller card, follow the associated instructions, presented below, to connect the
SCSI drive cables.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you have only one drive type per cluster, and that you complete
any partially- fi lled clusters before adding a new drive type to your library. Cabling and
mapping will be easier and more ef fi cient in this case. While combining SCSI and FC
drives in a single cluster is supported, it requires the use of two interface controllers,
and will result in unused interface controller ports.
If you choose to combine the two drive types, see the mixed interface technical
document on the web for important information. Access the Technical documentation
page from the ESL E-Series libraries link found on http://www.hp.com/go/tape.
NOTE:
Each e2400-160 interface controller card ships with four SCSI cables, one Ethernet
cable, and seven sets of color coded tie wraps.
FC cables are not provided.
These parts
will be needed for the following procedures.
NOTE:
A step stool may be needed to reach the e2400-160 interface controllers in the card
cage located at the top of the library cabinet.
1. Attach a SCSI terminator (provided) to the top SCSI port on each Ultrium 460
or SDLT drive (see Figure 24 ).

2. Remove the top screw from the cable restraint bracket and loosen the bottom one to
prepare for cable routing (see Figure 25 ).
