6.
Connect the drives to the
FCO3 card
SCSI port 1.
a.
Connect a
SCSI cable
from the FCO3 card SCSI
port 1 to the first tape drive.
b.
Do
one
of the following:
•
For the last tape drive in the chain, attach a
terminator
on the drive’s other port.
•
If there are more drives, connect this drive to the
next one using a
SCSI cable
.
c.
If this was
not the last drive
, repeat
.
7.
Ensure all SCSI connectors are tight and all SCSI
buses are properly terminated.
Ethernet Preparation
1.
Connect the FCO3 Ethernet port to a stand-alone PC
using the included Ethernet
crossover cable
.
2.
Temporarily set the IP address of the PC to one number
higher than the IP address that the FCO3 card will use.
For example, if the FCO3 will use 10.20.30.1 on the
management LAN, set the IP address of the PC to
10.20.30.2.
3.
Temporarily set the subnet mask of the PC to the
subnet mask that will be used by the FCO3 card.
4.
Install the QuickNav software on the PC from the
FCO3 Software and Documentation CD.
Use either the Windows or Macintosh version of the
software based on the type of stand-alone PC being
used.
CAUTION:
If the NEO 8000 firmware is less than version 4.03
or the NEO 2000/NEO 4000 firmware is less than version 5.08,
it must be upgraded to support FC LTO-3 drives.
1. Power on the library by toggling each power supply
switch (and circuit breakers on the NEO 8000) to
ON
.
2.
Press anywhere on the
GUI touch screen
to activate
the display and turn the library ON.
This will also provide power to the FCO3 card.
3.
Wait for the FCO3 card to complete
Power On Self
Test
(POST).
It should take no more than 3
½
minutes to complete.
The FCO3 card is configured and managed through its
Ethernet interface using either the browser-based GUI or
a Telnet interface. The GUI interface uses traditional GUI
actions to select choices while Telnet uses CLI commands
to configure the FCO3. The
NEO SERIES FCO3 Card
User Guide
at the Overland Technical Support website
provides details.
