Figure 2-14 shows a schematic representation of a possible configuration for
integrating the library and tape drives into an arbitrated loop.
Note: Once the library has been powered on and the Fibre Channel loop has
been initialized, avoid disconnecting the library from the loop. If you need
to disconnect the library from the loop, use the utility provided with your
switch or hub to bypass the affected ports before breaking the connection.
The bypass sets the port to a non-participating state on the loop. When
you have reconnected the library, use the utility to return the port to a
participating state.

If desired, you can connect the library to an Ethernet network to remotely
monitor and manage library operation, create diagnostic listings, and upgrade
library firmware. You can use the library’s built-in Remote Management utility
and a standard web browser to remotely configure, monitor, and manage the
library (see Chapter 6 ). For information about upgrading firmware and
creating diagnostic listings, see page 143 .
Note: Your library may include Exabyte Library Monitor software on CD. Exabyte
Library Monitor is an older program for remote monitoring that has been
replaced by the library’s built-in Remote Management utility. The Remote
Management utility is available with the latest library firmware. You can
download the latest firmware from Exabyte’s web site ( www.exabyte.com ).
Instructions for upgrading library firmware are provided on page 143 .
