Install the Archive

For each power supply, connect one end of the power cord to the power 

supply. Then connect the other end to a nearby grounded AC power source 

(of the type marked on the product label). 
When you have completed this procedure, your archive should be cabled as 

shown:

Use the Setup Wizard to 

Configure the Archive

Note:

See also “Automatically Creating Partitions” and “Manually Creating 

Partitions” in the 

Scalar i500 User’s Guide.

1

Power on the archive.

a

Turn on the rear power switch of each of the power supplies.

b

Press the power switch on the front of the archive once.

Note:

The only time that you do not need to log in to the library is when the 

Setup Wizard appears on the operator panel for the first time.

2

Configure the archive. 

Note:

You may skip initial configuration, or exit partway through. If you 

do this, the settings you do not configure will be assigned the 

following default settings until you change them: 

 

- DCHP enabled

 

- Six I/E station slots

 

- Zero cleaning cartridge slots

 

- The archive creates a single partition and assigns available archive 

resources proportionately.

Note:

The operator panel Setup Wizard only appears once, the first time 

you turn the archive on. You cannot log on to the web client until 

you configure the network settings on the operator panel. If you 

exit the operator panel Setup Wizard before configuring network 

settings, you must configure the network settings on the operator 

panel (

Setup > Network Mgmt) 

before logging on to the web client.
