Chapter 7 Installing, Removing, and Replacing
Cabling the Library
Scalar i500 User’s Guide

1
If your library is 14U or larger, install it in a rack. See
Installing the
Library in a Rack
on page 284 for instructions. The instructions
include procedures for removing and replacing tape drives.
2
Connect the SCSI cables to the tape drives.
a
Terminate the SCSI tape drive with an appropriate SCSI
terminator.
b
Connect the SCSI tape drive to the host.
3
Connect the module terminators.
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.
If your library configuration consists of a single module, place
module terminators in the module’s top and bottom module
terminator connector.
b
If you need to add expansion modules to the control module,
remove the module terminator from the control module
terminator connection that is closest to the expansion module.
c
Replace the module terminator in the expansion module in the
terminator connection that is furthest from the control module.
4
Connect the module-to-module cable from the control module to the
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.
6
Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of
the library.
There should always be a power cord connected to the power supply
on the control module. If redundant power supplies are used,
connect a power cord to each of the additional power supply outlets.
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.
