18 Installing the Library
Figure 12. StorageLibrary Cabling (Fibre Channel)
1. Install the library in a rack or install the tabletop kit.
2. Connect the fibre cables to the tape drive.
a. Attach one end of the fibre cable to the fibre port on each tape drive.
a. Attach the other end of the cable to the host, switch or hub.
Note
The fibre cable can be connected from the tape drive to a switch rather than a
host.
3. Connect your Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the rear of the library for remote access to the
library via the remote management interface. Push the cable into it snaps into place. Connect the
other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.
4. Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of the library.
5. Power on the library by turning on the rear power switch.
6. Power up the host system.
7. Verify communication with all devices on the bus.
8. Configure your library using the commands on the front panel. For configuration information, refer
to Configuring the Library .
System Power-on
At power-on, for the first few seconds the unit performs a sequence of diagnostic tests called Power-
On Self Tests (POST). POST also includes a loop-back test of the robotics cabling.
After the POST sequence completes successfully, the library will respond to SCSI selections. Then
the system starts a series of initialization functions, a process that consists of robot calibration
operation and cartridge inventory of magazines and drive. The barcode labels on the cartridges will be
read when running inventory.
During these operations, the library continuously shows the map status on the screen. The status of
all magazine slots and the drives are initially unknown, and a question mark (?) is displayed for each
slot. As the robot searches the magazine slots for cartridges during inventory, the display is updated.
Note
The tape drive needs up to 60 seconds after power-on until it is active on the
SCSI bus. You should turn on the power at least 60 seconds before the computer
system is started.
