Before you begin installing the library, do the following:
Make sure that the SCSI host bus or Fibre Channel adapter card installed
in the host computer, any necessary device drivers, and your backup
software are compatible with the library.
Compatibility information is
available at
. If your software application has not yet been
certified for the 221L library, you can use one of the library’s emulation
modes (see
). You can install the software on the host computer
before or after library installation. However, if you install the software first,
you may need to reconfigure it for use with the library after library
installation is complete.
For SCSI configurations, plan the SCSI bus connections for the library and
make sure you have the necessary SCSI cables and terminators.
The
library can include up to three SCSI devices: the library itself and two tape
drives. If desired, you can connect each device to a different SCSI bus. Before
beginning installation, determine how many SCSI buses you will connect to
the library and which bus you will connect to which device (see
guidelines). Obtain the required SCSI cables and terminators for these
connections.
For Fibre Channel configurations, plan the Fibre Channel connections and
make sure you have the necessary hardware and optical fiber cables to
connect the library and tape drive(s) to the network.
Before beginning
installation, determine how many cables you will need and how they will be
connected to Fibre Channel hubs, switches, or hosts (see
guidelines).
Locate an appropriate area for the library.
The library must be operated on
a level surface. There must be approximately 15 cm (6 inches) of open area
behind the library for adequate air flow.
Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Discharge static electricity from your body by
touching a known grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.

The library is designed to operate as a standalone unit or in a standard 19-inch
rack. If you plan to use the library in a rack and have obtained the rack-mount
kit from Exabyte, install the library in the rack using the instructions provided
in the kit.
Warning
Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure that the
library’s power switch is off and that the power cord is disconnected from the
library and the outlet.
