Connecting cables
Steps to connect the Ethernet and SAS cables.
About this task
Figure 1. Interface cable connection
1. Attach an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port ( 1 in
.)
Note: On rack mount installations, run the cable through the hook-and-loop fastener strap on the right rear bracket.
Note: It is recommended that you shut down and turn OFF the associated server before you connect the SAS interface cable. Turn ON the associated server after
the SAS interface cable is connected to the library and server, the library is powered ON, and the library completed the initialization.
2. Attach the host end of the SAS cable to the drive’s SAS connector ( 2 in
). For more information about the type of SAS connector that is required for
attachment to the drive, see
.
Note: On rack mount installations, run the cable through the hook-and-loop fastener strap on the right rear bracket.
3. Attach the other end of the host SAS interface cable to the host or to an interposer if required.
4.
Method 1: Plug the Ethernet cable into your server to access the Web User Interface directly. This method modifies your server network settings to match the
library default settings. You can also use the Operator Panel to change the library network settings to match the server network settings before you use the
Web User Interface to access the library. If the Ethernet connection is directly attached to a server, a crossover Ethernet cable might be required.
Method 2: Plug the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet switch or router to access the Web User Interface on a LAN (local area network). The library network
settings must be entered with the Operator Panel before the Web User Interface is used to access the library.

Figure 1. Power cord connection
1. Plug one end of the power cord or rack PDU power cord into the power connector ( 1 in
) on the rear panel of the library.
Note: On rack mount installations, run the rack PDU power cord through the hook-and-loop fastener strap on the right rear bracket, and tighten the strap. The rack
PDU power cord is a special power cord that plugs into a rack power strip.
